My ipad got hot out of nowhere and smoke started coming out of the speaker area. All I could smell was this burning smell. I turned the ipad off, put it in front of the ac vent thinking this would stop the heat but it didn't and it continued to overheat. Now I cant turn the ipad back on nor charge it up. I don't have insurance on it and nor do the apple store fix this issue. They only replace them. Can anyone help with this issue?
Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to use or charge the iPad. For safety, keep the iPad dry - and away from any combustible materials or surfaces.
You would be best advised to directly contact Apple Support for safe disposal instructions. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.
You might also take the iPad to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to assist. You do not require an appointment.

That iPad is dead. Replace it.
Placing a burning electronic device where it can receive more air and can circulate combustion products is unwise, as adding oxygen to a fire is bad, and as burning electronics can product noxious and potentially deadly fumes.
No.
The only option is to replace the iPad.

Thanks! I had no clue that was dangerous. I'll keep this in mind if this ever happen again..
