Connect your iPad to its Power Adapter and allow the iPad to charge, undisturbed, for at least an hour - or if necessary overnight. Then, while still connected to external power, try a forced-restart:
- On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
- On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
Assuming that your iPad does restart, keep the iPad connected to its Power Adapter - and ensure that the iPad is updated to iPadOS 15.6 - as this update includes an essential fix for the mini6 that addresses charging issues:
Settings > General > Software Update
Note: If iPad still doesn’t turn on, or if it gets stuck during start up, see the Apple Support article If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t turn on or is frozen. Or if your iPad isn’t working correctly after you restart it, see the iPad Support website.
