Back up

"Back up: How can I back up a iPad that won’t power on?"

-------

Troubleshoot the iPad's Power:

See if you can get this to power on. Then, perform the backup: How to Back Up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes on your PC - Apple Support

Try what is on these Links:

• If your iPad won't Charge - Apple Support

• If the Screen isn’t Working On your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

• If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't Turn On or is Frozen - Apple Support

If you cannot power-on and unlock your iPad, it’s too late to attempt a backup. The iPad uses an encrypted filesystem; until unlocked with your Passcode, your locally stored data remains encrypted and unreadable.

The only copy of the encryption key is stored in the iPad Secure Enclave (the iPad Security chip). Your Passcode unlocks the Secure Enclave - releasing the encryption keys to the OS. If you can’t unlock the Secure Enclave, all local data remains beyond reach.
