Hope it helps

So, even thought you haven't time, ask a friend to help and bring the iPad at an Apple Store.

It's an electronic device. Anything can go wrong with just by being an electronic device and it has nothing to do with who made it.

It is still under warranty so you will have to find time to visit the Apple store. You will walk out with a replacemnt device that works. That's what Apple does. That's what makes them great.

dude call AppleCare Technical Support, if its in warranty the heat is a safty risk they will replace it. if its not in warranty, you can get the iPad mini replaced for the Out of Warranty for £216

I feel you man, this is the 2nd time I've had this problem, replaced it already and it lasted only a day and a half. My battery on the ipad mini is low, so I charge it up, come back a couple hours later and NOTHING, it won't turn on, I hold the both buttons to do the reset and NOTHING. I've tried everything and even the tech support try it. Will have to get my 3rd replacement tomorrow, this *****.

I Have had mine ipad mini for 3 months....it got really , really hot.😕..I put it to bed that night the next morning

she was dead and refused to come on. I sent it back to apple, they are sending a replacement.😐

I had my Ipad mini replaced about 2 weeks ago because it would not turn on. The second one appeared fine for two weeks until I charged it today, and now I have the same problem. Looks like my second replacement will have to be requested. I'm wondering if it could be a problem with the power adapter itself since that was not replaced. Anyone?

I've owned Apple products for many years, and this is the first problem I've ever had.

suebms...I had the replacement for one day...the next morning HOT and would not come on. It was shipped back to Apple the next day. I think my problem may have been that I was using the IPad 10 w charger and the ipad mini can only take the 5w 1v charger...the charger was over charging and burne it out. I started back using inly the 5v charger and have had the 3rd one for a week now with no problem. The website and other forum said that the 10w charger was compatible with the ipad mini ,it would charge it faster,etc. I think it also overcharged and killed my ipad mini......I went back to using the 5w 1v power charger..I hope this helps..😍

Thanks for your response. I have been using the 5 w charger however.

Seems very odd.

This issue is very simple to resolve.

If the iPad is too hot it will not be able to be charged.

If your ipad is inacase take it out f case to see just how hot it really is.

Steps:

Unplug ipad from charger

So you must lower the brightness all the way down.

Close all apps.

And for about 25min or so just let it cool down.Every 5min or so touch the back of your ipad to see if it is getting less hot.

After ipad has cooled down:

Then plug in charger to an outlet.

Then plug in charger into ipad.

Exactly the same....6 weeks old ipad mini. Now will not power on. happened immediately after charging. Device was hot after the charge.

Obviously a common design fault.

Any news from aplle on this???

I have the same problem, the sad part is its not fixed yet. I already sent my ipad mini to the iFix store here in the Philippines, and I didnt recieve any news from them yet if my ipad is gonna get fixed or not. They just told me that apple is going to email me a job order and wait. But its been 4 days now but I havent got any email from them. My ipad mini is 7months old and it was a gift so i dont have a proof of purchase, so the people in the iFix store here is not sure if its still under warranty. How will i get proof that my ipad is still under warranty? Thanks

Has anyone heard of any fixes from Apple on this thus far? I JUST got mine last week as a gift from the boyfriend and it was completely fine as of bedtime last night. When I awoke.... nothing but a very warm Ipad Mini. Have done all of the "fixes" as everyone has mentioned to no avail. It worries me that there have been so many issues reported here and other sites about this same issue of overheating. I have had several Itouches in the past but this is my first Ipad. I have never had to contact customer service before on an Apple product until now. It did not help ease my worry when I had an Apple rep that was not the friendliest in the universe so am not sure if I should send it in or just drive and have it looked at with someone face to face.

Based on everyone's interaction with Apple Customer service... is it better to drive the 2.5 hours to the closest Apple store or should I just go ahead and mail it in? What have been your experiences?
