My one month old iPad mini overheated and won't turn on.

to troubleshoot it not turning on:

- try resetting it while connected to power (hold top button and home button for at least 15 seconds)

- try restoring it with a computer with itunes.

otherwise, you are completely welcome to take it into an Apple store, but since it was purchased in a different country, they may not be able to repair or replace it. You are well within your warranty though, so If you wanted to check out what options you have, you might need to check with the Saudi AppleCare - http://www.apple.com/sa/support/

Let the ipad cool down for a while then try rebooting it by holding the home and sleep button together until an Apple logo appears. If this does not work get it swapped out at your local apple retail store.

Here lies the problem, your warranty is good for the country in which your device was purchased. Unfortunately, you can't just take a iPad into a store in the Phillipines and expect it to be covered under the warranty because that just won't happen since it was purchased in Saudi Arabia.

Two weeks ago I had the same problem with my less than 2 month old mini. When I mentioned it to my son whom I had bought a mini for he told me it also happened to him twice! Mine makes three times! Still under warranty my sons Ipad mini was on charger durning the night. In the morning it was very hot and would not start again. No way to start it after trying all tricks. It was fried, literally. He took it into Apple store they replaced it gave him 3 months more warranty and 4 months later the EXACT same thing happened to the new mini. When He brought it back to Apple they say there is "NOTHING" they can do about it now, it's out of warranty. This is clearly a design or manufacturing flaw. This is NOT a one off, three times for my family and you can find many links with the same issue.

Now what should I do with my 2 month old mini under warranty? Of course it can be replaced but is that a solution? I will end up just like my son and others who have had this problem.

Any good suggestions?
