What happens when you try to slide it ? Does the actual slider get a box around it, and if you then double-tap the slider does it then slide across and go to the next screen ? If so then you have VoiceOver on, so try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off - if is does then go into Settings > General > Accessibility and change what Triple-Click Home is set to. If a triple-click doesn't turn it off then see this page for instructions on how to turn it off either directly on your iPad or when connected to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

I dont know what else that you could possibly try if recovery mode isn't working.


You could try restoring on another computer, and you have a backup on your computer you can always restore from the backup once the iPad is up and running again. Sometimes you have to try recovery mode a few times before you can get it to work.


I assume that you have quit iTunes and rebooted the computer as well before you tried to restore the iPad.
