Ipad won't start?

Using my Ipad since July without issue. Was using this morning, and worked like a charm. I know it had over 70% of battery. This afternoon there is noting I can do to start it, and it has been on my desk in the office? Completely dead, and not ringing in email arrivals? Any ideas?

This morning my ipad won't start. No response at all. Have tried all the tricks mentioned on this site (various combination of holding the buttons for a long time), but no response.

Connected to the usual PC with itunes, and I can see and hear a reaction from the PC, but I get the message "Device driver not successfully installed".
Pressing the buttons while connected to the PC obviously makes some kind of reaction (connect/disconnect sound from the PC), but still the ipad will not wake up.

Have charged it for hours.

Any suggestions?
🙂

I have expirienced same problem,

i ran "update all" in appstore, after an hour i wanted to see if its done and ipad didnt turn it on. I tried hard reset several times but nothing happened.

I googled around and figure out that the solution should be restoring to default settings. I went in recovery mode, itunes successfully detected ipad, i hit restore and i get 1611 error.

Till then my ipad keeps restarting. I followed http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 on 2 different OS (osx&win7) with no difference.

what should i do? did i brick my ipad?
