Help, IPAD Air 2 apps locked than screen went blank.

Was unable to access any of the apps on my IPAD 2 after using for a few minutes this afternoon. Tried turning it off to see if that would fix the problem but now the screen is blank. I've tried holding down the sleep/on button for a minute. Screen came back for 2 seconds and than went blank. Tried charging and hitting home and the sleep/on button with no success. Any suggestions on how I might fix this? Product is barely 2 months old and has been very gently used.
