I was using my ipad then it just went black and wont do anything? What do I do?

I was using my IPad 2 to check email.  I set it down for dinner and when I came back to it it was black and now wont do anything.  What do I do?

Try a reset first
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Hi Rebeccarichmond,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone does not turn on, these steps can help:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • My iPhone 5s froze while I was using an app then the screen went white and it shut off, it won't com back on... Help please

    iPhone 5s won't turn on is it killed?

    I've had the same thing happen to me when an app starts to lag, shutting it off will burn it on the screen, not allowing you to enter your passcode for the Iphone. It is frustrating but do as @kb1951 said. It worked for me.

    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)

  • So I clicked a email that contained a 2 hour lecture on it, and then my screen went black and wont turn on or even connect to my Itunes. What could be wrong?

    It was about 30MB, it was loading and then I turned off the screen. A few minutes later I tried turning it back on and it stayed black. I tried connecting it to my Macbook Pro and it says that its receiving a wrong response. What could be wrong?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iphone 5s screen just went black and wont turn back on

    I cracked my screen about a month ago and just today the screen started changing colors and then went completely black. I have it plugged in now and it just keeps vibrating but the screen wont come on.. I've tried to hold down the home button and power button but nothing is working.

    You will need to get it serviced.

  • My iPad was working perfectly fine and then it just turned off and wont turn back on. it had around 60% battery what do i do?

    i need some help. my iPad was working perfectly fine about 20mins ago and then it just turned off and wont turn back on. its was at about 60% when it stoped working so i have ruled out the fact that its dead. ive tryed turning it back on but it wont please help.

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up
    EDIT - sorry TeeKnows. I was too slow on the draw. My apologies.

    my iphone 4s was working fine then it just turned off and wont turn back on but my home button dosent work what do i do?

    Apart from the battery being dead (make sure by plugging into a power source for 15 minutes), hold the sleep/wake button and home button together for 10 - 20 seconds or until the apple logo appears.

  • I was charging my iPad2 and when reaching 90% it just went black and can't be started again. Anyone that have had this problem and know what to do?

    I was charging my iPad2 and when reaching 90% it just went black and can't be started again. Anyone that have had this problem and know what to do?

    I have had this problem several times. The iPad comes off charging with a black screen and only a hard reset works to get it back.  Then you have to go to settings to be sure nothing changed there.   
    I have had serveral hard resets and three restore operations and the problem recurs.  I am not sure if it is the iPad2 or an app that is causing the problem.   So far I can live with it as is.

  • My iPad just went black and will not start. It has not been dropped, nor has it been wet. What do I need to do?

    My iPad just went black and will not start. It has not been dropped, nor has it been wet. I am very careful with it. What do I do now?

    Plug it into an electrical outlet let it sit a few minutes. Then try performing a hard reset, by holding the home button and the lock buttons at the same time until an apple logo appears.

    If it never worked after the screen replacement then it would appear that you have a hardware problem either caused by the repair or the problem that lead to the screen replacement.

  • My Mac just went black and the battery no longer work properly.

    My Mac just went black and when it rebooted the battery seems to now work. The battery icon in the tob bar is gone and the button on the side to show battery percentage no longer works. The charger light doesn't work either. Why? How to fix? Is it a software or hardware problem?

    Did you try any of the reset steps, etc. outlined in some of these forums or pretty much do nothing until it started working again? Also, do you have an iPhone 4 as Sam The AMAZING does?
    (I'm desperately grasping straws to figure out whether or not I've exasperated all options and my iPhone is lost forever...)
    Thanks, L
