My iPad wont turn on? but apple logo appears

Yesterday my ipad died, I placed it on charge and a few hours later i noticed it still hadnt turned on so i used another 3 different chords. The ipad has been charging for more than 24 hours and over night. Around every 10-20 seconds the apple logo appears as if it's about to turn on but then the screen goes back to the black screen and sometimes the charging symbol appears. I've tried to reboot it many times by holding down the lock and home button and the apple logo appears but nothing else happens. if i unplug the ipad it shows the symbol of it needing to be charged so i know that the chords are working. i've had my ipad for over a year and nothing like this has happened before. someone please help me? ta x

iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular (MM)

I FOUND A SOLUTION!!!

I know this question is sort of old but I found a solution. This seemed to help me so hopefully it can help you. While your iPad/iPhone/iPod is looping get a charger ready. The Apple logo should appear and then it will automatically turn off. A spinny thing appears showing that it is turning off. While that thing is spinning plug in your charger. This way when you plug in your charger it doesnt turn back on but is still charging. After a few hourss turn your device back on and you can enjoy your iDevice. 😀

Try connecting to your computer and restoring from iTunes

I'm having the same problem 😟 My iPad keeps rebooting itself at 1% battery and subsequently turns straight off again. Rodney's suggestion didn't work and neither did WildChild7778's suggestion. I can't get it into recovery mode either!

WWhen it gets to the lock screen, press &hold the power button and then slide to power off when it appears. Leave it for 3_4 hours and turn it back on. Works for me!

At a point while reading your post i felt it was just one of those elaborate smokes- no magic spells. i read to see if anyone said it worked and alas! just one chap. i followed your instruction and noticed the low battery picture came back more quickly until it gave way to the apple logo. after a whole 48hrs without my ipad, it eventually came alive and i was able to restore. I am from Nigeria and this has saved me a lot of money. oh! i also had to join the forum just to type my reply.

Thank you so so sooooooooooooo much for this extremely helpful information. I have been trying to get it fixed for half a year in vain. Apple couldn't even help me, and I was so upset that I wasted money on a product that I had barely used (started having problems 4 months after I bought it) but thanks to you it is charging again, and hasn't for half a year.

Thank You So Much.

Sincerely Tatiana

I Have since been to an apple repairer who did a diagnostic and told me there was nothing I could do to fix this 😟....

I have the same issue, quite annoying. It started out of the blue....so, if anyone has a different idea / process other then those hightlighted before, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks a lot...

I just fixed mine with the plug it in with the spinning wheel fix. The key is to plug it in then while it starts to power on, unplug it, then when it starts to shut down again as soon as the wheel starts spinning plug it back in. Left mine for 3 hours and it's working fine. So glad I found this.... was thinking I just earned a 700$ paper weight.
