If your iPad won't respond to anything, if you are in the U.S. call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Try a System Reset:

Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.


A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.


Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.

Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

now it's totally off and won't respond to anything.

Once it's off it won't respond to anything. Doesn't mean the unit is bad. Could be a bad charger or even a bad AC outlet. Contact Apple. They can try a new charger with it. If that works then your charger is bad and they'll give you a new one. If the charger isn't bad then the battery might have some issues. Either way warranty should cover it.
