How to fix an iPad that doesn’t turn on?

Suppose your iPad doesn’t turn on and keeps getting stuck on the Apple logo during start-up or software update. In that case, this issue is pretty common in iPad and even iPhones. There are specific ways you can try and fix it yourself.

Force Restart your iPad

Force Restart is a hard reset of your device which recalibrates your iPad. Hard reset is a helpful trick that solves many software issues and glitches on the iPad. Press and at the same time hold the home button and the power buttons together until the screen on your iPad turns off, and the Apple logo comes back up.

Another way to Force Restart is to press and quickly release the volume up button, then repeat the same press and quick release with the volume down button. After that, you’ll need to hold down the power button until the Apple logo shows up.

Check the Cables

Using unauthorized cables to charge could be the reason your iPad is facing this issue. You’ll need to use proper cables that are certified MFI to charge your iPad. If you use a computer to charge the iPad, you’ll also need to check the USB port to provide a stable connection to charge your iPad. 

Try DFU Mode to Restore your iPad

You can check how to activate the DFU mode for the specific model of your iPad or iPhone. You can use the Face ID Method or the Touch ID method to enter the DFU mode. The DFU mode (Device Firmware Upgrade) fixes complex issues on iPad and iPhones. It lets the iPad restore from any state. So, this step is a must to fix the issue.

These steps should help you get your iPad running back to normal. However, if the issue isn’t solved, it might be time to take a different route to fix your iPad, the hardware route. If your iPad isn’t starting due to a hardware malfunction, it requires a technician to fix the issue. So, take your iPad to any trusted repair centre to get it fixed.
