I am having this exact problem. I pad wont turn on. Plug it in and nothing happens. I have tried different cords, I have tried charging from wall and computer. I tried hold power and home. NOTHING.. and no its not my charger because it charges my other ipad just fine. I tried connecting to iTunes to restore, that didn't work cause iTunes does not recognize devices that aren't powered on, and neither does my computer. COME ON APPLE .. your products just keep getting ******** and ********. 😠

I am having the same issue. I updated to 6.1.2 on my iPad Mini and it started draining the battery very quickly. It was suggested in another thread to try restoring it again, which seemed to help.


I put it on the charger and shut it off to charge up to 100%. When I tried to turn it back on, I got a bright white screen, and it shut off and won't turn back on.


It looks like Apple has bricked a bunch of iPads with their new update.

Yeah, that is how mine acted too, like it was turned off and stayed that way. I do have a Smart Cover on mine and when I opened it up, it was like it was turned off, then when I pushed power, nothing happened. Tried holding just the power button for a few and nothing happened which why I then tried the reset, this worked for me. Not really sure what else you can try other than calling Apple or taking the iPad into an Apple store to the Genius Bar and have them take a look at it and see if they can do anything for you.

I got this problem too.


The screen is totally black. You can see it " black-dim " when you turn it Off & On.

You can ear the email tones when I receive an email.


So it's definitvly working ... just show's a balck screen.



So here's what I did (don't get your hope's up .. I'm still stuck).


1- I tried to put it on recovery mode. It does ... but I can't see the usuall iTunes and connector image, I still get a black screen.


2- Rebooted it from recovery, still black


3- Did a full Restore, still black


Now it's totally empty and still the same black screen.


Any ideas ?
