Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I had the same problem two weeks ago. After I connected my Ipad to ITunes I could use the touch screen again. Now it happened again, the only problem now is that I have a Passcode. I tried to update my Ipad, now it is in recovery mode and can't do anything on my Ipad. Anyone can help?
iPad, iPadOS 14
For older iPad models with a Home button, do a simple hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake/power button simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.
Your iPad will still be in recovery mode.
IF you never, evet made any data backups or this iPad, your data is already gone.

Thank you for your reply. The problem is that it is not really in recovery mode. I can only see the this message on a white screen: Press home button to enter recovery mode. So I guess I need to confirm the recovery mode. Since the touch screen is not working I just see the Code screen when I press the home button.
Do the simple hard reset, first!
I just did, the white screen with the message appears again.
Is the touch screen working, again, on the iPad?
No, unfortunately not.
Will do, thank you!
My Ipad's (8 Gen) touch screen is not responding
