By 'properly' you mean ?
Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds,, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Is there ny charge in th battery? Also, Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!
Could be a couple of things:
1. Are you pressing the right button. The on/off button is the one on the top if you hold the iPad in portrait. It is also the sleep/wake button.
2. You have to press in and hold this button to turn the iPad on.
3. Is it charged up? If the battery runs out, you cannot turn it back on until it has charged up to at least 5%.
4. You could try a 'hard reset'. This involves pressing and holding both the home button (the one on the front of the device below the screen if held in portrait) and the sleep/wake button (described in 1. Above) until the apple logo appears on the screen. This does not delete all the music, videos, contacts, settings etc. on the device, it is just like rebooting a pc.
Let me know if any of those fixes work.
