My Ipad was working and had 5% power remaining. I plugged it up and the next morning it would not turn on. The screen is black, no logo, and unresponsive. It wont turn on. I tried the power, home combo, home, itunes combo and just power. It is also not recognized in itunes or by the computer when I plug it up. It has a new battery so that is not the problem. Any suggestions?? Is there a fix for this? Is my data safe? This ipad is like new condition has always been in a case, never dropped, water etc.
How did I miss this question? For iPad mini no power— 1.) It’s not the charge port if there is no visible damage to the port 2.) It’s not the battery—unless you just changed the battery like the OP–bad batteries are a dime a dozen–you’ll need to rule that out. For everyone else, it’s not the battery 3.) Have you opened your mini recently for another repair? If so, it could be a missing filter next to the battery connector—look hard for pry damage near the battery connector. 4.) If none of the above, then it is going to be non-Apple charger damage to the charging ic chip U2. This sucker is used in every lightning port device and is very susceptible to unprotected voltage fluctuations. It can be replaced as a difficult board level repair. I wrote more detail about a lot of this in my Ultimate iPad Mini repair blog: http://www.mendonipadrehab.com/entries/g…
Check inside charging port for lint or something might not be getting full connection just use one of those plastic tooth picks or something not metal to remove if something in there. Happened to my iPhone it was so flat in back didn’t notice it but tried anyway and pulled a lint ball out bam it was fixed
Same problem left iPad for a few days then plug in in to iTunes and downloaded 1.5 GB of software when it Finnish just press power button and the apple logo came up all is well BUT lost all that was on it as i have a backup to a iMac it was not to bad back to normal now
