What’s up, guys! I’m Via from AppGeeker and welcome to this brand-new video on what
to do when your iPad won’t turn on. This video will be helpful for iPad, iPad
mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro that has a black screen and won’t turn on or respond to touch.
And we’re starting alright now.
When it comes to why your iPad stuck on a black screen which is not responding and not
turning on, the causes can stem from crashed software,
black screen of death, drained battery, faulty charging accessories, broken screen or other
hardware issues. So, let’s eliminate these startup issues
one by one. The crashed software is common to happen, causing your iPad suddenly to turn
off and not to power back on. So, the very first step to fix an iPad that
won’t turn on is to hard reset your unresponsive iPad. The steps are varied depends on your
iPad models.
To hard reset an iPad with Home button, hold down the Home button and Top button at the
same time. After around 10 to 25 seconds, the Apple logo
will appear and you can let go of the buttons. Just wait for your iPad to restart and turn
on completely. To hard reset an iPad without Home button,
press the Volume up button, the Volume down button,
then the Side button and keep holding it until your device shows Apple logo.
When iPad finishes reboot, it will be up and running again.
Some users complain that iPad not turning on issue occurs again after hard reset.
In that case, you may want to use a tool to dive deeper into your iPad system to remove
the root of the not booting up issue. The good news is that iOS System Recovery
tool can help you do the task without affecting your personal data.
It’s also a reliable option to fix iPad black screen of death problem.
To get the software, go to Appgeeker.com, find iOS System Recovery tool, then download
and install the program on your PC or Mac. Open the software on your computer and in
the starting window, click More tools. Then, go ahead to click iOS System Recovery.
Next, hit the Start button. Now, use a USB cable to attach your iPad to
the computer. When the apple tablet gets detected, choose
Standard Mode and hit Confirm button. Here, you can see a list of iOS firmware.
Just highlight the latest version and hit Next button to download the firmware.
This may take around 15 minutes to finish, so wait patiently.
OK, now the download is complete. Click the Fix Now button and you're done!
If it’s not gonna help you, you may need to DFU restore your iPad. We’ve put a link
in the description below to tell you how to do that.
As this will delete everything from your iPad, before doing the restore,
you can keep watching to see if the hardware is to blame for that you can’t turn on iPad.
Alright, speaking of the hardware problems, a drained or dead battery is a common reason
of why your iPad gets stuck on a black screen and refuses to start up.
The fix here is to charge your iPad to turn it back on.
Attach your iPad into an Apple charger and lightning cable
then connect it to the working wall power outlet. Let it charge for 30 minutes or longer
time then do a force restart to see if it can turn
on.
In the meanwhile, check if the charger and the USB cable are in good condition.
If not, switch to a different known good charger and lightning cable.
Then, use a soft brush to clean the charging port on the bottom of your iPad.
If one of them goes wrong, your iPad won’t get enough power to boot up.
Once done inspecting the charging accessories and the lightning port, connect your iPad
to wall power again using the working charger and cable.
It’s the same here. Charge it for 30 minutes or longer and then hard reset your iPad while
keeping it plugged into the power. After that, your iPad should be working again.
If the screen is still not turning on, but you can still hear some noise from the tablet,
probably the display is broken. To test it out, connect your iPad to the iTunes
or Finder. If your tablet does show up in the window
of iTunes or Finder, I’m sorry to say that the display may be not working now
and you’ll need to bring it to Apple Store to repair.
To avoid losing any important data, you’d better to perform a backup of your iPad in
iTunes or Finder first.
