My mini ipad told me I didnt have enough storage, but I failed to buy more.  Now it is black screened.  Siri talks, but cant get it opened back up for me.  How can I get it to work again?

My IPad mini has the least amount of storage and I was getting messages that I was running out of space.  My grandchildren were playing games on it and it locked up.  Now I cant get it opened to buy storage on ICloud.  Siri talks and I get a tone when an email comes in, but beyond that the screen is black.  What can I do to make it useable again? 

Hi mcarey,
Purchasing iCloud storage will not help you. You are out of memory on the physical device itself. You can try a reset (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). If the Apple appears, the reset is successful, and your Home screen will display shortly.
Don't waste your money purchasing additional iCloud storage. It won't help you.
Instead, go to Settings>General>Usage, and under the Storage section at the top, see what is taking up so much memory. If you need to delete some Apps, click on the App in this screen and it will take you to a screen that will allow you to delete it. Then you can just click the back arrow at the top to return to the Usage screen and select additional Apps to delete.
If your photos are taking up a lot of room, then import them to the Mac or PC you sync with. Once you have verified they have successfully imported, you can then safely delete them from the device.
If your Mail or Messages is taking up a lot of memory, delete any mail or messages that contain videos. They take up a ton of room.
That's about all you can do to get your memory consumption down. Check that screen and manage what you have on your device.
Best of luck,
GB
