Got a new ipad 3 and it has frozen. The screen is stuck but Siri still works.
I've tried the 10 second reset.
Any ideas?
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work, connect to itunes and restore.
No that didn't work. Charged it back to full and it sorted it for a while then it started typing on its own and froze again.
I decided to reset the iPad but the same happened again.
Only lasts about five minutes before it starts typing on its own and freezing.
That sounds like a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store for evaluation.
