MOST IMPORTANT: I need my Notes!

If you happened to store your notes in iCloud, they are easily available to you.

Simply use any computer's browser to sign on to http://www.icloud.com and your notes will all appear!

Or you could use any iOS device's Notes app to see them (assuming, of course, it is your device signed in with your Apple ID and password).

... yes some Notes are in my icloud

and others are in my AOL (;-) thankfully

but there's still a 3rd group of my Notes only in my iPad ...

Once you get your iPad functioning (either your iPad 2 or a replacement), I strongly suggest you reconsider the above and keep your notes well organized - housed in exactly one place.  If that place turns out not to be iCloud, then be certain they are backed up if they're important to you.

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

You may have to try to enter recovery mode more than once to succeed.
