IPad 1 won't turn on, charge or be recognised by iTunes.

My dad dropped the iPad while he was using it, and has been completely unresponsive since. He claims the iPad landed on his toe then the carpet, and there are no external damages to the iPad, but it's screen is completely black during charging, or when plugged to the computer. It doesn't show up on iTunes either, so I can't reformat it. I've tried holding on to the home button and plugging it into the computer to force the computer to recognise the iPad but nothing works. Is it a lost cause?

You did everything you could. Nothing will fix this other then a repair. something inside the ipad must of became disconnected. Find a company to do the repair.

  • 3rd generation iPod touch won't turn on, charge, or be recognised by itunes

    My 3rd generation ipod touch won't charge or turn on. I keep charging it, but it show the exremely low battery screen. It also flashes the apple logo like it's turning on, but it just stays on that screen or flashes and goes away. It won't connect to itunes. I've tried holding the power button and home button at the same time to get it into recovery mode, but it doesn't work. I don't know what else to do.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPad 1 won't hold a charge for very long and will only fully charge when turned off while plugged in. Will a full reset fix this?

    my iPad 1 won't hold a charge for very long and will only fully charge when turned off while plugged in. Will a full reset fix this?

    maybe but
    most likely no
    if you have many apps running and using data and localization at the same time yes maybe
    but batteries get worse and worse and worse over time until they die a software reset will not change that

  • My ipad 2 won't hold a charge after installing ios 7

    I use the authentic Apple charger and my ipad 2 won't hold a charge after installing ios 7. What is the fix for this miserable wasteful upgrade that made all of our iPads unusable ! I Shut off location, turned off  brightness, shut down and  took off apps.  WHAT NOW for my iPad ?

    Batteries eventually fail, and it sounds like that's happened with your iPad. You'll need to take or send it Apple to get the battery replaced. See:

  • Ipad 3 won't turn on after ios 6 update

    Hi everyone,
    I'm at a loss!  My Ipad 3 was working fine, and while fully charged I updated to ios 6.  Everything worked fine and I was thrilled.  While at work, I turned the Ipad off, and now it won't turn back on.  I've tried resetting, I've tried holding down the power and home buttons (repeatedly, and for long time periods), and I've tried to restore it using my itunes but my computer now doesn't recognize the device when I plug in the USB. but I never see any reaction by the device. No icons on the screen, no apple logo, no nothing... I updated itunes, still the same problem.  So, for the life of me, this fully charged relatively new working fine 64G Gen 3 Ipad just won't turn on.   Any additional ideas before I dare to go in the crowded apple store for assistance?
    Thanks, Hollie

    Try this...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

    My ipad 2 won't hold a charge anymore. I'll charge it up, get it to 100%, unplug it and shortly after wards, it's drained down. What can I do?

  • My ipad screen won't turn one way when I turn/bump my ipad (will do one side but not the other)

    My ipad screen won’t turn one way when I turn/bump my ipad (will do one side but not the other)

    Yes there is a rotation lock setting.
    First try the switch above the volume rocker. If that doesnt work then double click the home button. It should display a multitasking bar at the bottom of the screen. Slide that to the right and it should display a few settings including screen lock. Make sure that it is unchecked.
