IPad will not turn on no matter what I try

I have an older iPad first generation, which I bought used a little while ago, and it has always worked fine up until today. I had just used it yesterday, battery was nearly full when I put it away on my desk, then when I picked it back up off my desk to use it today it was dead. The thing is completely unresponsive no matter what I do to it. I have tried plugging it into the wall charger, plugging it into the computer, using the on/off button and menu button simultaneously to hard start it, and I tried plugging it into iTunes with the menu button held down to do the restore thing...nothing. It's all of a sudden completely dead. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions on what to do next?

Take it to your local Apple retailer.

Doesn't sound good...
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

IMac shut down and will not turn on no matter what I try...help!

I am hoping that someone can help me. I have a 20", 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac that was purchased late 2007. A few days ago, it shut down on it's own during normal computer use and it won't turn back on since.
I have searched through the boards and most people recommend resetting the SMC, SMU and pulling out/placing back in the memory. I have tried all of those as well as using a brand new power cord but none have worked. I have also seen recommendations to reset the PRAM but since the computer has to be on to do that, unfortunately, I can't try it.
Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

Hi and welcome.....
I have also seen recommendations to reset the PRAM but since the computer has to be on to do that
Not sure where you found that information but that is not the case. The Mac must be shut down in order to reset the PRAM. Follow the instructions here...

If resetting the PRAM didn't help, try here...

Screen does nothing. D: I have tried removing the battery.Hard resetTaking out the battery but leaving in the AC adapter Please help, I do everything on this laptop. I have a TouchSmart (HP) Notebook - 15-r137wmHere is a screenshot

Hi , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP TouchSmart Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset.
When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
Here is a link to computer won't start for Windows 8. Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

Ipod will not turn on no matter what. Please relpy? Urgent

Hi,
My ipod mini is not turning in. I cannot reset it because whenever I press the menu button, nothing happens. I have tried charging it yet it's not working. I has not been dropped or damaged.

Did you let it charge for a while? That symbol is telling you the battery needs to be charged.

My iPod nano will not turn on no matter what I do.

I tried holding the play button to turn it on. I tried charging it for a couple of hours. I tried resetting it. I tried plugging it into my computer. None of this made it turn on or even make a flicker of light. What should i do?

The iPod will need to be serviced, to determine the exact fault and repair it (if possible). You can get the current 7th gen iPod nano as an Apple-certified refurb for $99 (with a one-year warranty)

so the cost to repair your nano may not be economical. If you are the good at such things, this web site has DIY repair guides

Be sure to rule out the other possibilities. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there (along with your docking cable).

Iphone 4 will not turn on no matter what!

This happened friday. I was playing a game. Locked my phone 5 min later went to check it and it wouldnt turn on!!! I did the lock/home key for 3 min. I charged it all night last night. I had it connected to the computer thinking itunes would somehow recognize it after an hour. It was connected to the computer for 16 hours. It doesnt even show that its charging. Nothing i mean nothing comes up. Not the silver apple not the lightning bolt not even itunes shows it. I took it to at&t and they couldnt fix it i went to apple and they said they couldnt find anything wrong with it. It just refuses to turn on. I need that data on that phone. Does anyone have something they tried that works. I know "if apple says they cant fix it well ur screwed" well ive taken things to apple that they couldn't fix yet i could by doing something odd. My iphone 3gs home button and lock button and touch screen wouldnt work. Apple couldnt fix it. Yet i could by charging it taking out the sim holding lock/home and having someone call me at the same time. So i trust this more than apple. Does anyone have an idea or something that worked for them?

Attempt to hardware restart (Hold the hoe button and the sleep/wake button at the same time until you receive the Apple logo) the device again while connected to the wall charger. If this still does not resolve the issue attempt to leave it connected for at least 20 minutes and attempt the hardware restart again. If the issue continues you device may need repair and you should take it to an Apple Retail Store or contact AppleCare at 1-800-692-7753. Hope this helps.

Ipad will not turn on no matter what I do. It remains off.

Hi kdb,
Try holding down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them for 10-20 seconds. See if the Silver Apple appears. If it does, release the buttons and allow the iPad to reboot. Once it reboots, the Home screen will display.
Cheers,

My IPad will not turn on, despite charging all night and all day. The Apple pops up then goes away. What is wrong and how can I fix it?

My 1st generation iPad will not turn off and I have performed the suggested fix. What's next?

My iPad will not turn off. I have done the off/sleep key home button procedure.

Just to be perfectly clear, when you reset the iPad by hod,ing down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen, that is a way of resetting the system and restrating the device. If you want to shut down, you still have to hold down on the power button until the slider appears and then slide to the right to shut the iPad off.
IS this what you are doing and if so what happens when you try to shut down? Describe what happens in detail.

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.
Let it start up completely and then you can shut down if you want to do so.

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. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Ipad will not turn on or do anything. I have the new Ipad.Whats wrong?

Ipad will not turn on. I have the new Ipad. Whats wrong? Its only about 2 months old.

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? 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.
