I forgot to turn off my bluetooth keyboard.

Yesterday I forgot to turn off the keyboard and now my iPad mini won't work. Thinking it had just drained the battery I plugged it in overnight. It reacted to being plugged in with the usual sound but nothing happens when the buttons are pushed. Have I damaged it beyond repair?

Leaving the keyboard on won't cause damage. Just try turning it off and on again. If that doesn't help:


Once it is fully re-charged, consult the manual for how to reset the keyboard and re-pair it to the iPad.
