Q: Orginal Ipad won't turn on no matter what I do.

I've literally tried most every generic reset or recovery method, so please don't tell me to hold down my home button and power button simultaneously. I've tried this method many times and it doesn't work for my particular case.

Any advise that I could do to fix it? Maybe a program I could run on it?

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

Make sure that battery is enough to start your iPad. If any reset does not help, take a look these Apple Support articles:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

Battery maybe dead.
Take it to an Apple Store for them to diagnose and test.
A replacement battery will be $99.
Considering its age and iOS limit of iOS 5.1.1.
You might be a lot better off using that $99 toward a new/newer iPad model.
The original iPad is now over 6 years old going on seven years old.
There have been major improvements in iPad/iDevice technology in the last 6 years.

Good Luck!

Spending money on ipad 1 is very old in tech terms .
