iPad dead. Have tried to force restart it but it keeps crashing.

I accidentally left my iPad out, letting it run out of battery. I tried plugging it in for a day, but it has still not turned back on. I have also tried force restarting it, but it just shows the apple logo for a minute and then crashes and restarts again. Is there anything I can do to get it back up and running? Also, since it is the winter, could keeping it in a warm area while charging power it back up? Thank you.

iPad, iPadOS 15

  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.

Ok I've tried this a couple of times and it still has not been working so I think I need to get it checked out. Thank you for your help. One last question: I kept it in a warm area for a couple of minutes and it turned on, showing the apple logo but it crashed and restarted and now it has been blank for some time. If I continue to keep it in a warm area, will it eventually power back on?

Thank you. I did try another cable as well as another USB port and updated iTunes. I also checked out the article but so far it crashes at around the same area on the loading screen. Should I try restoring, wait a bit and then try again if it doesn't work? And do you have any suggestions on what to do or should I probably go check it out at the apple store. Thanks again.
