Hey 3lilja,
We'll be happy to help out with your unresponsive iPad. You mentioned holding all 3 buttons, however there's a specific order in which you'd need to do so in order to force a restart:
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
3. Press and hold the top button.
4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.
This is outlined in more detail here: Force restart iPad - Apple Support
We hope this helps out.
Take care!
