IPad Mini Got Hot While Charging = DOA?

Hello community,
I have browsed for a few days now and using this as a last resort before I have to go through the hassle of shipping my device in because I have no Apple store near me.
Problem: I was charging my iPad (using the cable and wall charger that came with it) and when I went back to get it the iPad was EXTREMELY hot. You couldn't hold it for a long period of time and even the desk underneath it was warm. It refused to come on after that. I have tried the sleep/wake + home for up to 2 minutes, I even looked online and tried placing it in DFU mode because even when I plug it into the computer it will not recognize it so I have no way of restoring it. I figured I would try here just in case someone has another idea before I go through this process I greatly dread.
Thank you in advance for any help!
iPad Mini 16gb WiFi running iOS 7.0.6

Before sending it back you should contact the Apple help desk. They can help you analyze the problem. When they decide that there is a repair needed, then the send a postcariier, which will take the Ipad at your home. I live in the Netherlands, it is organised in this way here. Apple gives 3 months free advise and information by telephone and helps you to get your warranty.

  • Ipad mini became hot when charging and now will not come on. All usual resets have been tried

    Mini ipad became hot while charging and will not come on.  Normal resets have been tried.

    I am assuming that you let the device cool down completely before you tried powering up. I don't know what more you might want to try...recharge, restore...the usual troubleshooting steps. Once again, assuming that the device has completely cooled down, I would let the device charge all night, try resetting one more time and if that fails, try restoring the iOS.
    If that fails, make an appointment at an Apple Store and let an Apple Genius evaluate the damage.

  • IPad plug gets hot while charging

    I have the 5 watt charger I have noticed it gets hot while charging is this normal I just upgraded to ios7 please let me know if this is normal?

    Definitely not typical, bot probably normal. iOs7 uses more power than former versions, thanks to the continual use of Bluetooth, Backtround App Refresh, and Airdrop. Disable these functions, and post with your results.

  • My daughter's ipod touch got hot while charging and will no longer turn on.

    My daugther's ipod touch got hot and will no longer turn on.  Is there a solution to this problem or is the ipod fried?

    I'm not sure if it's fried or not, but try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously for about 15 seconds or so. Hopefully you will see the Apple logo.

  • Ipad mini got stolen

    hi, my ipad mini got stolen,i tried to log onto my icloud but it doesnt list my device is there anyway to locate it,or was it wiped out and no hope of recovering

    No. Sorry.
    If your device did not appear in your listed devices on iCloud, this means the location software was never enabled and there is no way to track it. If your device appeared, but was listed as not online, read Niel's link. The following applies:
    If your device is not online or you did not enable Find My iPhone on your device
    You can use Find My iPhone while your device is offline -- it queues up commands and executes them when the device comes back online. In the meantime, you still can take the actions below to protect your data if your device appears to be offline when it is out of your possession.
    Change your iCloud passwordIf you are unable to locate or recover your device, it's strongly recommended that you change your iCloud password as a measure to ensure that no one else can delete or make changes to your iCloud data on your missing device.

  • Extremely hot while charging

    The problem which i encounter with my iphone 4 is extremely hot while charging, surfing, even playing games. Is it happen to other iphones or just only mine?

    I noticed this the second! I plugged2 of my sealed units in to the ac charger. And noticed these units batterys were not what they should have been.
    They would also get very hot with normal use. I would use the web for 5 mins with my dad and mines and only mine would be hot to the touch.
    This was with two different units. It seems some just get hotter faster and easyer. My current one dosnt

  • IPOD gets super hot while charging, won't turn off

    My daughter's IPOD was getting super hot while charging. VERY hot. It wouldn't let us disconnect it. We finally HAD to, it was so hot. It now won't shut off - has the battery with the ! sign on the display.
    Any ideas on how to fix this, or is this toast? thanks.

    I hope they will help - we've had it almost 90 days already - I don't know how long they are willing to help. I literally have a blister on my finger - it got that hot.

  • Is it normal for my charger adapter to get hot while charging.

    IIs it normal for my charger to get hot while charging.  Very hot

    Hot/ Very Hot are very relative.
    Its normal for it to get hot while charging, but if its really unconfortably hot to touch even briefly then there might be an issue.

  • Is it safe to charge an iPad mini with a 2amp charger?

    Is it safe for me to charge my iPad mini with a 2amp charger.

    I charge my iPad mini and iphone off 2a chargers. In Australia, you cannot buy USB wall chargers less than 12w (iphones, ipad minis, and ipods use 5w). I have experienced no dramas, and neither have any of the customers ive sold 12W chargers too. I say its absolutely fine, but if you wish not to, you can charge it via usb to the computer. Hope this helps!

    That image on the iPad screen is telling you what to do. Connect the iPad to your computer and use iTunes to restore the iOS software. You said it yourself, something went wrong. So now you have to restore the device.
    The instructions for restoring the iOS are in this kb article - the article from which you posted your question.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Make sure that you read all the way to the end under "Additional Information" where it talks about using recovery mode. You just might need to use that in order to restore.

    hello, my ipad mini doent work i charged it till the next day and it didn't work i charged it again till the next day and it didn't work what should i do i didn't use my ipad for three days please i need help????

    Didn't work in what way.  Are you unable to start it up?  Does it start but then freezes?  Does the screen stay black when you turn it on?
    Try this - press the home and power buttons and keep pressing them until the apple logo appears.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    why do my ipad mini never get fully charged? the most is only up to 92percent

    This seems to be a problem with a few Mini users. Just unplug the charger and then replug. It should then charge to 100%.
