I have no problem taking a screen shot on my iPhone. I'm trying to do so on my wife's iPad mini iOS11. However, I've tried 3 times and 3 times I've turned off the thing. I'm pressing, at the same time, the power button (at the top edge, right end of the device) and the home button (bottom, center of white frame).
This isn't a difficult task yet I fail to see what I'm doing wrong?

Try holding the sleep/on/off button first, then quickly tap the Home button.
This is how I do the screenshot procedure on my iPads.
Good Luck!

does her home button work? THat would be the main reason for it to power off instead of taking the screen cap
I don’t know if it’d suffice or not. When you take the screen shot you do a quick up and down on both buttons, like you‘d press a camera shutter. Do you try it that way?
If so, do you have a phone or the like? Bypass the screen shot and take a photo of your screen from another device.
Yes it does. Open an app, press home the app closes and you're back at the icon screen.
If this condition eludes a solution maybe there's another way of achieving my goal. I signed up for a paid Pandora trial. I decided against shortly after. I went to the iTunes link provided by Pandora. Once iTunes loads, a popup appears that does state the trial ends such and such and pay this amount for various paid levels going forward. Absent a cancel confirm that I've yet to receive from Pandora, the popup would suffice in a pinch--hence, the screen shot?

I was holding both buttons until the shot occurred as I do on the phone. Doing as you suggested worked. Thanks!
Screenshot attempt turns off device?
