IPad mini won't turn on

I have an iPad mini that was working yesterday, but when I tried to use it this morning, nothing happens. It was plugged in to charge last and this morning, it won't turn on. I tried plugging it in to a power source, a Mac mini, and a Win7 laptop and nothing comes it, it won't mount in iTunes at all. I tried allthe cables with my iPad(4th gen), and the cables work fine. I tried a reset by holding down the home and power buttons for 10 seconds and nothing. I can't tell if the battery is completely dead or maybe the backscreen doesn't work anymore. I don't know what else to try, or else I'll take it to the local authorized apple specialist since its still under warranty.

This in Apple's kb article that describes the steps to take if your iDevice does not respond or will not turn on.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Support - Apple
The very last part of the article will be what applies in your situation - the part that talks about restoring the iOS software. Have a look and then give that a try. If that fails, head off to your Apple Specialist and ask them to take a look.

  • My ipad mini won't turn on - what can I do?

    Charged my ipad mini overnight and it wont turn on now.  What can I do?

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • TS3274 My iPad mini won't turn on please help

    Please help

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • Brand new iPad mini won't turn on

    I just got a brand new iPad mini not even 24 hours ago. I've taken absolute perfect care of it and its been working fine, but I was just listening to music on it with the charger plugged in, and all of a sudden it just blacks out. I've tried everything including pressing the on/off and home buttons at the same time but nothing works. Please help!!!!!!!!

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

  • Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared.  That doesn't work anymore.  How do you turn off the apps wit

    Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared.  That doesn't work anymore.  How do you turn off the apps with ios7

    Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past.  With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app

  • My iPad mini won't charge at all. I got it for Chrisrmas and it is still in brand new condition and it was fine but now it won't charge at all! It used to charge in an exact position but now it has stopped altogether...Help!!

    My iPad mini won't charge at all. I got it for Christmas off my dad and it is still in brand new condition. Until the other day it has been working fine but until yesterday or the day before my charger went all funny. In order to charge my iPad mini you had to put the charger in an exact place and if someone so much as touched it it would stop charging because it wasn't in its exact position. But today I tried to charge it again and I tried getting it in the same spot as yesterday but it is not working at all. I have only ever charged my iPad mini in the wall but I have seen posts about people charging it in the USB in an computer. So I thought I would also try that but that hasn't worked either and now my iPad mini won't charge in a plug or USB and I live really far away from an apple store and I can't get a new charger also because I live far away from the store. So what shall I do?

    When and where was the iPad/charger purchased? It's covered by a 1-year warranty.
    The problem may be the USB cable.

  • IPad Mini Won't Sync With Mac Mini (ios 8.1 OSX 10.6.8)

    Problem : IPad Mini connects to iTunes OK, can be seen in iTunes and I can select which movies to sync to it etc.  When I hit the "apply" button after making a change (ie deleting or adding a movie) the sync lasts just a second then the "sync" button remains greyed out, and I can't make them sync.

  • HT204387 My iphone4 and my iPad mini won't connect via blue tooth just continues to search

    My iphone4 and my iPad mini won't connect via blue tooth just continues to search

    What are you trying to do?
    The Bluetooth is meant for earplug, headset, keyboard, car hands-free set, and speakers.
    You need a 3rd party app to do BT file transfer or other functions between iDevices.

  • My home button stopped working and now iPad mini will not turn.

    My home button stopped working a few weeks ago, and now my iPad mini will not turn on. I can't restart the iPad, and it will not pop up in iTunes. What can I do?

    Make an appointment with the nearest apple store and they will be able to replace it or give you directions otherwise. Hope this helps

  • My brand new iPad mini won't rotate I have done factory reset still not working. If I lock and unlock on landscape or portrait it remains in that mode. Any ideas pretty sure I've tried everything suggested.

    My brand new iPad mini won't rotate done factory reset still not working. If I lock and unlock on landscape or portrait it remains in that mode. Any ideas pretty sure I've tried everything suggested such as off/on, reset, reboot, double checked lock off. It did work and I changed wallpaper and stopped motion, not sure if this related

    Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. Your iPad will reboot on its own. You will have to enter all of the device settings again, but no data will be lost.
    I eould not spend a whole lot more time trying to fix this, if the device is really brand new. I would take it back to where you bought it, bring the box, the charger, the cable and your receipt and if they can't get it fixed, return it and get another one.

  • My iPad mini won't update my apps.  I have closed all open apps, done multiple resets but I show 24 updates and when I hit the update, the screen is blank.

    My iPad mini won't update my apps.  I have closed all open apps and done multiple resets.  I hit update and the screen is blank, even though the bubble shows 14 to update.

    If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

  • My iPad mini won't download the 7.0.4 security update...keeps saying I'm not connected to the Internet. How do I fix this?

    My iPad mini won't download the 7.0.4 security update. It just keeps telling me I'm not connected to the Internet. It's doing this to my gf's Ipad 2 as well. How do I fix it?

    "7.0.4"?  The current version of iOS is 7.0.6.  Version 7.0.4 can no longer be downloaded or installed.

  • Mini won't turn unless plugged into computer/charger always shows charging

    My mini won'y turn on unless hooked to an auxiliary power source. Then it shows charging, never charged. Changing the battery made no difference. It works in a car when attached to the charger/fm broadcast unit. Anybody???

    fyi - I put this question in the using forumn.

  • 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.
