Need to see if this 16GB model A1219 iPad (2010) still works. It has been charged, but I am unable to get the screen to open so I can connect it to my MAC to boot it up. iPad has been in storage for several years, unused.
Held down 'Home' button
Held down both the 'Start' and 'Home' buttons at same time
While charging, the Apple does flash on and off on the screen
As described, if the iPad has been stored unused and uncharged for an extended period, the battery may be completely dead.
Connect your iPad to its Power Adapter and allow the iPad to charge, undisturbed, for 24hrs. 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, the battery is almost certainly beyond recovery.
You would be best advised to 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 - and you will be able to explore your available options:
