how to fix a permanent bricked ipad

So i did this thing were you set the time and date to January 1st 1970 and i didn't know it would brick my ipad. I tried to factory reset it and its not working. It keeps saying that my ipad timed out after it extracts the software and tries to download the new update to factory reset it. Now it wont go past the turning on screen and it has a bar at the bottom of the symbol that isn't loading anything. I don't have money to replace it. And i need it for school.

iPad Mini, iOS 9.2.1

Hi

Make sure your PC is running the latest itunes 12.3.2 on your PC

Turn your iPad OFF

Connect lead to USB on your PC

Press & hold power button on iPad DONT let go

Connect lead to iPad keep power button pressed down until

Pc sees ipad then wait for restore you may need to do this a few times

Before it works.

If you still have problems make an appointment at apple store .

Take proof of purchase .

Cheers

Brian
