if ipad is exposed to direct sunlight and switch off
I left my ipad in direct sun light in the car only to find is turned off and it can not turn on
iPad Air, iPadOS 16
Question marked as
Electronics shouldn’t be exposed to very high temperatures, such as direct sun in a closed environment like a car; the temperature can soar. While the iPad will shut-down to protect its electronics, it can do little to protect the Li-ion from potentially permanent damage.
If your iPhone or iPad gets too hot or too cold - Apple Support
If your iPad is unresponsive, connect your iPad to its Power Adapter and allow the iPad to charge for at least an hour - closely monitoring the iPad. If the iPad becomes hot, or you notice anything untoward, disconnect from the Power Adapter.
Assuming that no obvious signs of issues were noted during charging, 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:
- Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
- Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
- Press and hold the top button.
- 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. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
