Why won't my iPad Air M2 go into recovery mode? I think it overheated because it turned off by itself and was hot. I let it cool down, then charged it for like 30mins. I tried to restart it, nothing. I let it charge longer, 2+ hrs and still nothing when I tried to restart it. I tried recovery mode with my computer, nothing.
