On occasion, you may run into problems using the Apple iPad. One such problem is the hardware failing to turn on. This is rather significant, as without power, you are unable to perform any desired task on the device.

The good news is that there are a few methods for troubleshooting and correcting the power issue. By following a few simple iPad repairs, can have your iPad back up and running within minutes.

Step One: Rebooting Your iPad
Start off by holding the Sleep/Wake button, located at the top of the hardware for a few moments. Eventually a “Power Down” icon appears on the iPad screen. Swipe your finger across the power down option to turn off the device. Often times, the iPad appears to not be turning on, but in actuality it is just frozen or locked. Restarting the device corrects this issue. Leave the iPad off for a few minutes, and then power it back on. Once it completely boots up, the iPad is ready to go and full functionality returns.

Step Two: Resetting Your iPad
If the above step doesn’t work, you’ll need to reset the iPad. Keep in mind that resetting the device restores the hardware to the factory settings, and then uploads all the saved information back onto the equipment (just make sure you follow the steps properly so you don’t lose any saved data)

To reset: Connect the iPad to the docking computer and load iTunes. Select the equipment under “My Devices,” then click “Reset” in the middle of the iTunes screen. The hardware then begins to reset. Do not disconnect the equipment from the computer as this may corrupt the hardware. At the top of the iTunes program window, it displays how much longer the rest should take. Once complete, a prompt appears at the top of the screen, notifying you of the completed process and that you are free to disconnect the equipment from the docking computer.

The above are two possible steps that may help if your iPad won’t turn on. If you are still having problems, you may want to seek the services of a qualified iPad repair service provider.
