If your iPad screen is black or has frozen, doesn't respond when you touch it or becomes stuck when you turn it on, find out what to do.

Follow the steps for your device.


On your iPad without a Home button:


  1. Press and quickly release the volume button closest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button furthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button until the device begins to restart.

  4. If your iPad doesn't turn on, follow these steps to check your hardware and charge your device. You may need to charge for up to an hour.
  5. If your iPad still doesn't turn on, contact Apple Support.


On your iPad with a Home button:

  1. Press and hold both the Home button and the top button until you see the Apple logo.
