My iPad 1 is stuck at the boot logo. And it does not get recognized by iTunes. What do I do?

I have had this iPad for a long time, it has never done this before. It then suddenly out of nowhere decided to restart and it has been stuck in the bootlogo since. Yes I have tried putting it in DFU mode, but iTunes won't recognize it. What happened, and how can I fix it?

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

Did you try this?


Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.



If that doesn't work, start here.
