Sep 11, 2012 9:22 PM in response to Ham297by sytrader,Ditto - Thank You Ham297. My iPad suddenly stopped like Daisy's and I was heartbroken, being a recent Apple convert across the board, and I've taken such good care of it. Your sugestion worked perfectly! Thanks!

Sep 16, 2012 1:30 PM in response to jodukes ipadby sytrader,Hi jodukes
I can feel your pain! Make sure you are holding down the home button and the on/off button at the top for 10+ seconds. If you stilll have no luck I can only suggest what I was going to do before happening across this forum and that is call the Apple support line, and see what they can suggest.
Good luck!

Sep 16, 2012 4:14 PM in response to Dasiyby jodukes ipad,Nothing worked. Had to do a complete restore. I really hated to do that since I had done one just last week. It is really a bummer to lose all your stuff. Thanks to all of you that tried to help. jodukes

Jan 29, 2013 11:29 PM in response to Polgera77by renee275,Well I hate to sound like a broken record, but the same thing suddenly happened to my beloved iPad tonight and I also panicked. WTH was I going to do now??
As everyone else who found this page I Googled 'why did my iPad go black' and magically I was led to this page. What a HUGE relief to find out the simultaneously pressing the Home & Off/On button (30 or so seconds for me) might just do the trick....and YIPPEE it did.
Dang I love my iPad and suddenly felt cold sweats when I pictured my life without it!
Thank you....Thank you for posting this and all of your anonymous help. I'd bake you a cake if I knew your address!

Jan 31, 2013 8:31 AM in response to Dasiyby DukeUpdate,Thanks once again.
I want to reply to keep this page fresh when people google "apple ipad stopped working" like I did.
I have no idea why it stopped working, but pressing and holding the two buttons for 10 seconds worked like a charm.

Feb 19, 2013 7:48 AM in response to Dasiyby Tom_Mo,Didn't work for me! I got my iPad Mini about a week ago.
Was listening to some music on spotify and plugged it into my laptop to do something with iTunes, then it just made a fuzzy sound and died and can't get it back on.
sad sad times
