iPad 7 stuck Apple logo blinking

I left my ipad 7 on YouTube or Instagram for 30mins, then i found that it has been blinking apple log in white monitor and blank monitor forever now…I did restoring actions by pressing a home button & a top button (I also tried holding volume buttons), but it keeps going back blinking/switching the same blinking. It showed once “support.apple.com/iPad/restore” and a picture of “a laptop and a charger”. I have my iPhone12, but computer to connect…. What can I do?

iPad, iOS 9

Given your description, your iPad must be restored.


These support pages outline the available methods to restore an iPad - either from a backup, or to Factory Settings:

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup – Apple Support

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support

Restore all content to iPad from a backup - Apple Support


You’ll need access to either a Windows PC (with iTunes for Windows installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS).

Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support

Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support


Use of a PC or Mac computer is unavoidable. If you don’t have access to a suitable computer of your own, that of a helpful friend or family member will suffice. Alternatively, the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be delighted to assist.
