What do I do when my iPad won't turn on? I charged it for a couple of hours; I tried holding down the power button; holding the power and home button; clicking volume up and volume down quickly and then holding the power button; nothing worked. Any suggestions? It's fairly new -- I purchased it new just over a year ago but the warranty has expired.
iPad Pro (6th generation)
If your iPad is unresponsive, connect your iPad to its Power Adapter and allow the iPad to charge undisturbed for at least an hour - or preferably overnight. 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:
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:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad:

I’ve done what the apple help info says- holding the buttons- and yet nothing happens. It’s been on charge too.
Honestly, I would just like some help but I’m guessing I’d have to pay for any real change.

I placed my iPad on my bed which has a heated mattress and covered it up with bed sheet. Left it for couple of hours to warm it nicely. Now any time I run out of my battery and if IPad shuts off, this is the only way it will start again. Before this I tried all the suggestions in different discussion groups, none of them worked but someone suggested to warm up the IPad and thank God it started again. God bless the person who suggested this trick.

Tried for 10 days to restart mine. Magically, after a ride to Best Buy to see the Geek Squad, it was on. I left the store without talking to anyone. It just needed a ride.
