hi my ipad is not starting up please help me

Here are two ideas. First just try plugging it in. That helps to jumpstart the iPad. Another thing you can try if that doesn't work is hold down the power button and the home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds and that will force your iPad to turn on.

Try this - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
