iPad screen not responding to touch. Is there another way to restart?

My iPad screen will not respond to touch. I can't sign in and I can't use the slide to power down.

Try a forced restart of your iPad:

  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
