Start here >>>Ā If the screen isn't working on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If your iPad is unresponsive, connect your iPad to its Power Adapter and allow the iPad to charge. While still connected to external power, try a forced-restart:


  • On an iPad with a Home button:Ā 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:Ā 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.




Note:Ā Ā If iPad still doesnā€™t turn on, or if it gets stuck during start up, see the Apple Support articleĀ If your iPhone, iPad, or iPodĀ touch wonā€™t turn on or is frozen. Or if your iPad isnā€™t working correctly after you restart it, see theĀ iPad Support website.


If you continue to experience difficulties, you will need to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using theĀ Get SupportĀ link at top-right of this page. Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad:
