Hey,
Sometimes when I try to turn on my iPad, it shows a gray screen, nothing more. It only works sometimes.
I already tried the method of holding power button and home button, so that doesn't work.
Too keep the iPad on I just screenshotted a black photo and look at it, turn the brightness down so it lasts long.
Any tips to repair it?
Thanks

At this point, it is not clear whether this is a software or a hardware issue. I know that you are trying to maintain a running status on the iPad with a black photo and brightness turned down. This is because you are unsure how it will boot up the next time you shut down your iPad.
Would you like to try and put the iPad in Recovery mode and reinstall / restore the iPadOS? If performed successfully, then the results will determine whether it is a software issue or not. If you want to try the process, then follow the instructions in this guide published by Apple ➔ Put you device in Recovery Mode and set it up again. It is a lengthy process so please have ample time at your hands if you choose to do this.
