My iPad 3rd Generation keeps crashing, freezing, overheating, and restarting.
I've had this iPad for 3 years and it's been defective for at least 2. The first problem I've had was the speakers not working after my freshman year (headphones work only for a little bit). The iPad is from my high school, and the insurance only covered my freshman year (I never learned how to get insurance for the next years, I don't think anyone did.).
It's been having a few problems. It overheats then restarts. This is a constant thing. Every time I pick it up to play a game (For example, Clash of Clans) it either randomly shuts down and restarts or it freezes for a few minutes before restarting. It gets very hot within a short amount of time, so, I originally thought it was caused by overheating; but I just tried it out after not touching it all night and sure enough it crashed. I can only use it for about 5 minutes at most before it crashes and restarts, then if I try using it again after restarting it just happens again sooner. I've also had some problems with glitches. It happens rarely, but it's still irritating. I took this picture while it was frozen:
It's currently summer vacation and the iPad is just getting worse. I want it to at least be useful for school, but with all this crashing I can't see how. I can't restore it because it's owned by the school and has the school's profiles on it. If I delete them I could get into a lot of trouble. I'd have to wait until the end of next year when I buy it. I really want to keep this device. It's fully updated, but the problems are still there. If anyone could help that would be great .🙂
