Ipad stuck on apple logo

I’ve had this thing since like 2016-2017 and its worked like a dream. Never had any problems. Always in great condition. Yesterday I was using it like normal, no issues with it. Today I plugged it in because it was getting low and the charge seemed slow. Thought it was weird so I set it down and went and did something else. After about 10 minutes I saw it was starting to boot back up after dying. I left it alone to charge. 6 hours later it was still booting up. It never left the apple logo screen. Kept shutting off then booting up back and forth. I started looking up why it was doing it. Found some answers and tried fixing it. Restarting it by holding the home and power buttons did nothing except now it doesn’t even turn off. Just the apple logo. I tried hooking it up to my computer and restoring it. PC made the sound that it connected but i couldn’t fine the device anywhere. I’ve tried just holding the power button. Nothing. This thing has been perfect for 7-8 years. Then overnight boom its breaking. I don’t have the money to buy another $500 device. I just want mine fixed without losing all my storage on the thing.
