Solution to Black Screen startup on iPad Pro
There are two additional ways to resolve the problem, other than a 2-button reboot:
1. Unplug the Pro immediately (soon) after 100% charge is reached. Operation will be normal.
2. If you have another 12-watt Apple charging puck, use that. Operation will be entirely normal.
Make that 3... Call your Apple dealer and request a replacement charger. It will be cheerfully replaced.
