I have tried to post a question, but it down not appear in the list. what am I doing wrong?

I cannot reset my iPad. I can't turn it off either.
I can't sync it with my computer because the iPad has a passcode.
I tried a reset holding down the stop button and homie button until the apple logo
appears. It appears and stays on for about 4 minutes That is replaced with the
spinning dot. In about 5 or 6 minutes, that goes off too.
It is running iOS 7. something.
help!
thanks

Yes. You did state that and I missed it. My apologies.
You you could try erasing the device using Find My iPhone, and then try to restore, but if the power button isn't working .... and it's a hardware problem .... you would still be in a bit of a sticky situation.
IF you just connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, does iTunes see the iPad? If it does, can you click on Restore in the Summary Tab?
