You are welcome.


Get this Serviced:

I am wondering if it is an issue underneath the power button. Perhaps some debris dropped into it? So, get this serviced.


Contact Apple Support:

With the Coronavirus Pandemic, reservation restrictions may be up there quite a bit. So, contact Apple. Here is the info...

Apple Support Contact Info:

Note: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)

Restart by shutting off, wait 20 seconds and turn back on. if this doesn’t work Force Restart: volume up>volume down>then hold power until apple logo then release. If this doesn’t work plug into computer and force restart but keep holding power until you see apple support website on screen. Try to update on computer after selecting the device in finder on Mac or in iTunes pc. Next option to restore in this same way instead of update>both of these options bring software to computer first then to the device. Methods to force restart and go into recovery mode can vary by device. If the computer does not recognize the device it could be the cord (remove adapters) or the port from your iPad or computer (try a different one) Good luck
