My ipad2 suddenly went dead, total blackout!

My ipad2 suddenly went dead today, i knew i still have about 40% battery life left, so shouldn't be the battery problem. I wasn't able to on the ipad back, none of the buttons work, the screen was totally blackout. I tried recharge, no response at all. So i gave up and thought of sending it to Apple service centre tomorrow. But when i flipped open the smart cover 2-3 hours later to check on it, my ipad is alive again, with the normal screen back on. i played a game and after i closed the apps, the screen freezes with the music still running in the background. I press the on/off button together with the home button for a few second to reset and it's back to normal again! What just happen?

  • My iphone 4 suddenly went dead

    My iphone 4 suddenly went dead :((( It just suddenly went dead, even though the battery still full, and I have tried hard reset but it still won't turn on :((((

    Violet I'm sorry to hear that. Do you know if the device has any liquid damage or anything that may have caused it to just die and not come back on? Toggle on and off the vibrate switch on the said and see if the device vibrates? If it does then take it in for troubleshooting purposes at an Apple store.
    Have you tried a hard reset of the device? By holding the home button and top button at the same time for 10-12 seconds until an apple logo pops up then let go of the home button and see if that fixes the issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • From Nabil Houlika Germany. Please help me by answering the following questions. The Time Capsule suddenly went dead. What should I do? Is there a way to put it "ON" again??

    Yesterday the time capsule light went off. All efforts to put it on again failed. All electric connections are in good order and working perfectly. Please help me.

    Hi again,
    I called them this morning. Admits my allergies and sneezing I was able to talk to them.
    They will replace it with basically no questions asked.
    I guess also having a MBP under AppleCare also helped too as the case is registered under that.
    They gave me a few options.
    The could take my credit card number as insurance and send me a new one and them I send them my dead one back, or I could take it into an Apple Store for a replacement there. The problem is that I have data on there that I want to maintain, so they said take it to the Apple Store or an Apple Service provider and they would handle the transfer.
    I don't have an Apple Store in my city, but have a Service Provider that I know that could do the transfer for me, but I kinda want to do it at the Apple Store because maybe then they would give me a new one instead of another w year tombstone.
    So I need to weigh my options.
    I'll let you know further what happens.
    P.S. my serial number was not in the range listed, but that didn't seem to make a difference. I think the key is to be courteous, respectful and friendly.

  • I just bought an iphone 4 and it suddenly went dead. Even after pressing the lock and back button for 30seconds also it did not work!

    Helpp! Phone not working!!!

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo come back again?
    Can you try another USB cable?
    If still no luck, you'll have to get it serviced: Service Answer Center - iPhone

  • My 13" MacBook Pro (purchased in June 2012) just turned off and won't turn back on. I've tried resetting the SMC. Still no luck. The MagSafe 'L' connector is faintly flickering green. The battery was at least 25% when the computer suddenly went dead.

    Any tips on what else I can try before I take it in to Apple?

    I have the exact same problem. how did you fix this?

    when i plug my ipod into my pc at home its fine, but when i plug into someones pc my ipod suddenly went dead, i duno what happen, my ipod just went "blank"
    ive tried to plug into the usb or even using the adaptor, it wont turn on, it just came the apple logo but "on-off-on-off-on-off", when i holding the ipod its like someting keep spinning inside, but i duno whats that
    I tried to reset just like people here said, "press middle button + menu", once again.. nothing happened
    oh one more, i hit lightly too (someones advice), mm nothing happened.
    now im soo desperate, what should i do except take away my ipod to the store? because in here there is no original apple store.
    btw, i lived in Indonesia.

    hey thanks Tbird ure very kind

    this happened yesterday when i tried to plug into different usb in my pc, my ipod looked like this:
    http://img465.imageshack.us/img465/8076/dsc043787ec.jpg
    when i tried to plug to its adaptor it still came out like that, just still like that, nothing happened, but when i plugged into another electricity somewhere in my house, suddenly it came the apple logo, but this time is little weird, it turns on-off (very fast) when i look to the screen closer, i see a vertical line like broken lcd, whaatt again? its getting worse and worse
    yea, it still have warranty.
    but i duno where to take and service my ipod in here?

    btw, thanks for ur advice Tbird i appreciate it

  • Zire 71 just went dead

    Hello, All.
    I've had a Zire 71 for about 4 years, maybe longer. I charge it regularly, but last week it suddenly went dead. I picked it up, and it would not turn on. I plugged it into the charger, and it soon came back, but all of my information was lost. I have what I backed up on the computer, which is about 18 months old. But I cannot access the backup version because I can no longer get the hot sync to work.
    I'll post about the hot sync on another forum. What I want to ask is, does this happen regularly with the Zire 71? It goes dead like this after a few years? Or is it something repairable, like needing a new battery?
    Thanks,
    Anne

  • My daughter's ipod just went dead and will not come back on

    My daughter was listening to her ipod touch (purchased last Fall) when it suddenly went dead.  Any attempts to try and charge it or connect it to itunes has been unsuccessful.  Any ideas what we could do, other than purchase a new one?

    Try different power sources, like a wall adapter or another computer and make sure that the computer is not asleep. Check out the article below for additional troubleshooting options to get it powered back on.

     In order to change the I/O variable data type of my node from single to array of single, I simply press and hold the rest button on WSN-3202 for 7seconds. At the end of it, the radio signal LEDs went off and node went dead. All attempt to bring it back to life proof abortive. What should I do?

    Hi Blessing,
    If you've tried everything to get it working, including a fresh set of batteries or direct power from an adaptor, then you should contact your local NI branch regarding the repair process. The contact information for your branch can be found on http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/nicc.call_me.
