Black screen with a flicker and won't turn on

My daughters ipad screen is black and will flicker a bit of another black screen. I've tried to plug it into our computer to do a reset but she has a pass code on it so iTunes will not open it. I've tried "find my iphone" but it shows the device is offline. Im not sure what to try next??

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


Frozen or unresponsive iPad

Resolve these most common issues:

• Display remains black or blank

• Touch screen not responding

• Application unexpectedly closes or freezes
