I am impatient, never held it down long enough. Is it plugged in? How much is it charged? I use 10 foot cords.

I think i’m taking it into my Mac store.

On my older IPad it happens when I get below 20% in power.

but I am able to turn it off. Is it possible to pop the battery?

Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.

If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.

Good luck!!!!

I have a prayer that the network might wake it up.

and it will work everytime.

at the same time.

Simultaneously hold the Home button and the power button for ten or mor seconds until it reboots.

If it is a really new iPad, you have to hold the bottom volume button and the power button for the same amount of time.

The off/on button down and the home button down at the same time

1. SETTINGS
2. GENERAL
3. Scroll all the way down.
4. choose SHUTDOWN and confirm

This worked for me. Once it was recharged, all was good.

on your hands versus the screen is an issue.

Similarly, you might try cleaning your screen with a dry cloth.

The ones which replace phone batteries will probably do as good as an authorized Apple place -- if there is no authorized Apple repair place nearby.

Ask them to open it up. Check for dirt. Then close it.
