My dad had a old like 5th gen iPad with a home button like at 2:50pm he was using it then all of sudden it went black and won’t turn on anymore I did try to force restart nothing, and my dad like had 500 tabs in safari they should of synce with his new iPad but nothing, and I think I had it turned on the old iPad
Or dose it just take a while
any suggestions, and my Apple Store is 30 minutes away
What exactly did you try to force restart?
Did it maybe run out of battery? Have you plugged it in to charge?
If you hold down the power button for several seconds does it show something in screen, like a battery icon?
While a 5th gen has been discontinued by Apple this should not cause it to simply shut down and not turn back on. So not sure what the comment by sberman was trying to imply.

Leave it plugged in to a wall outlet for a while and see if it comes on. If it still won't, then it's very likely dead, and your only recourse would be to take it into an Apple Store.
The 6th Generation iPad is still considered Vintage (not Obsolete yet) by Apple, so is still serviceable. Might be your only recourse at this point to try to get it to start again if it won't turn on by any other means.

If he had his tab groups saved in iCloud (Settings > [his Apple Account] > iCloud > Safari = “on”), they are retrievable from there. Otherwise, they’re gone.
There are other options - not involving a trip to the Apple Store.

I will clarify. Blark said “… and my Apple Store is 30 minutes away”. My reply meant don’t waste your time considering going there.
The fifth generation iPad, released by Apple in 2017, is now considered obsolete by Apple and therefore Apple has discontinued service for it.
Have tried pressing and holding the power button and waited for it turn on nothing, no low battery symbol on the screen and its plug in and nothing

Again, blark is referring to a fifth generation iPad. It is not serviceable.
It’s a model A2197
It’s actually a 7th gen iPad with a home button
It has been plugged in for like 3 hours now nothing still won’t power on
Seventh generation iPads are still eligible for service.
I have no idea when we will be heading that way since we don’t head that direction any more to are apple store
