iPad will not turn on

HI,

Connect it to an wall outlet to make sure the battery is charging.

Or, connect to your computer and see if that helps.

Try resetting the iPad. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Weird - this happened to me today as well for no obvious reason

This just happened to me too.... Wrote a note in evernote, played a couple of screens of angry birds, put it down, came back three hours later and nothing. Fix worked, but why would it do this?

I tried both suggestions, two buttons together, and just the sleep/wake, but it does not power on. The screen stays dark.

My iPad worked fine last time I used it. I have not used it in several months. It has been stored in a safe place. I have plugged it into the wall outlet, and also to my mac, using cables that I know work.

Ay suggestions?

Same thing happened to me, and the fix worked. I had about 30% charge when the iPad would not turn on again after working fine. The reset trick worked fine. I've had an iPod Touch (1G), iPhone (2G), iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and this iPad, and I've never had to do this to any of them.

I'm having the same problem, did you found a solution?

The posts above yours in this thread contain different fixes which have worked for most. Please take the time to read before posting, and consider using the Search function to find answers before tacking on another question.

Thank you so much. It works holding the sleep/wake and home for 10 seconds saved the day.

Thanks so much...gave me a freakin heart attack for a moment...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!
same here,almost had a heart attack

YES , WHY DID THIS HAPPEN??

I had the same problem, and almost had a heart attack as well, the "fix" worked on mine too, WHAT makes it do that, my ipod touch does that too.....can't this be fixed for good??? We pay A LOT of money for this stuff, should not have flaws such as that!!

FF, Mine did the same thing. battery level was at 24%, went dark and had to do this reset for the first time since I bought it (first week it came out). It must be a bug when the level gets low.....
