Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

For the second time my new iPad Pro 14 has bricked.

I bought an iPad Pro 14 two months ago. Day two it bricked. I sent it to Apple support who promptly replaced it. That replacement just bricked again.

I'm not a heavy users, I'm retired and it never leaves the house.

What happened is that I noted the charge was low so I plugged in the USB-c cable and let it charge overnight. In the morning it simply will do nothing. Attempting to reset, still nothing. WTF??

Is this a common problem or a known issue?


iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Wi-Fi

No, this isn’t a common problem - at least, not that has been reported here.


If your iPad is unresponsive, connect your iPad to its Power Adapter and allow the iPad to charge undisturbed format least an hour. Then, while still connected to external power, try a forced-restart:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

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.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.




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.


If you continue to experience difficulties, you will need to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support.
