iPad Air 5th gen not responding to hard reset procedure

When I do the usual up-down-power procedure on my iPad Air 5th gen, only Siri comes out instead of the apple icon. What’s another way of doing a hard reset?

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; do not release the button until...
  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.
