Holding all three buttons is not going to reset your iPad. The model that you have has a particular way to get it to “restart”.
- Quickly Press and release Volume Up
- Quickly press and release Volume Down
- Press and hold Siri/Wake button until you see the Apple Logo on the screen
If you get a slider that shows up to slide to power off, ignore this slider and just continue to hold the Siri/Wake button until you see the Apple Logo. You’ll see the screen turn off and then a few moments later the logo will appear. Once you see the logo, you can release the Siri/Wake button and allow the iPad to continue to boot as normal.
Once this process is complete, you have successfully restarted your iPad. It can take a few tries to get the rhythm correct, but once you get it and hold the power button and see it either show the slider or go blank, you know you got it and just continue to hold the button until you see the logo.
