iPad mini wifi is in recovery mode via iTunes. I have the black screen with apple symbol and progress bar not moving.

Hi there guys,

I've had an iPad mini wifi for few years now. But last night it wouldn't turn on. Left it charging for an hour and nothing happened. So I decided to plug the the iPad into my Mac and restore the iPad via iTunes. I got to the restore option. But ever since the iPad has been stuck on the black screen with the apple logo and a progress bar. But the progress bar hasn't even started to move, even after leaving it over night. That was about 8 hours of leaving idle to work. I've tried it twice more since but nothing has happened. Ive attached images to show you what I'm seeing.

Any help would be really appreciated guys! Many Thanks in advance.
