Some iPad users have been able to revive their dropped iPad. Turn the iPad over and give it a HARD SLAP on the back. May take several slaps.

If you take it to Apple, you'll get a replacement iPad, so all your files will be gone. Check with some of the 3rd party repair places below. They should be able to repair your iPad with the files intact.

You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.
