When connected to charger and turned on Apple logo displays for a short time then black screen, but back light still on. If I hold power button the back light will turn off then after a few second apple logo shows again for a short time then black screen.

Tried restoring using itunes but got error 4013.


It will not turn on if the ipad is not plugged in the wall.

In the video after the apple logo disappear, it may look like the screen is off, but its not actually completely off, I can notice that the backlight is on. After holding the power button the backlight turns off then after a while apple logo shows again as shows in the video.

See >>> If your iOS or iPadOS device restarts or displays the Apple logo or a spinning gear unexpectedly - Apple Support


If your iPad is unresponsive, connect your iPad to its Power Adapter and allow the iPad to charge. 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:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. 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.
