iPad 2 home button does not bring me home

How can I bring my iPad to the home screen ? When I press the home button, the screen flashes between the opening display of a Mobile Interactive app 13 times then goes black. The iPad has been fully charged.

I saw this on an iPhone/iPad blog (by googling for it) and it worked easily and instantly.

  • 1. Launch any app that comes pre-installed with your iPhone or iPad.
  • 2. Press and hold the Power (Sleep/Wake) button until the “slide to power off” appears.
  • 3. Release the power button and press and hold the Home button until “slide to power off” goes away.


Forgot to use a preinstalled app, still recalibrated instantly.
