Q: I have an iPad mini that won't even go into Recovery Mode
iPad mini won't power on. (It belongs to a young lady in my Bible study group so I don't know what OS it has installed.) I've tried all of the advised restore & recovery tips. It will not boot into Recovery Mode at all. I've held down the Sleep/Wake button - nothing happens. I've held down simultaneously the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button - nothing happens. I've held down the Home button while plugging it into the computer to force it into Recovery Mode - nothing happens. I have attempted to charge with 3 different cables (all of which work on other devices), 3 different computers (Vista, Win 7 & MacBook - again all of which work with my iPad 4) several times. It does not register with iTunes when you plug it in, of course. (Again - My iPad 4 does on all computers and works just fine.) I've attempted all of the above with the Hold toggle in both positions just to make sure I was getting it right. The red slider never appears. The Apple logo never appears. A battery indicating a charge is needed never appears. I'm at a loss. And frustrated. Please advise.
