Apple doesn't explicitly list error #75 - however, this error is understood to be associated with an unrecoverable hardware failure. As for error #9, you’ll find troubleshooting guidance here:

If you see error 9, 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If you continue to experience difficulties, you might be well advised to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. 


Alternatively, if you have access to another Apple device, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to provide assistance:

Thank you the information. I'm not able to power the unit on at all.


If while connected to its Power Adapter the iPad won't now power-on at all, your best option will be to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to assess your iPad. Here you will be in the best possible place to explore your available options:
