My iPad mini will not turn on for some reason.

I have my iPad mini, and for some reason it will not turn on. Earlier this morning it was on and working just fine, and then when I got it to get on it and play some games, it was not responding and the screen was just blank. I have no idea why it is doing this, so I would like to have some answers, because in class we need it sometimes, aka algebra. (It is my own personal iPad, not the schools)

iPad Mini, iOS 8.3

What have you tried ?


Assuming that the battery isn't empty (it can take about 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
