When your iPad Pro refuses to turn on, it can be a frustrating situation. You might have already tried a hard reset, but what if that didn't work? Don't worry, there are a few things you can try to bring your beloved device back to life.
First things first, let's make sure that your iPad Pro is actually charged. Connect it to a power source using the original charging cable and adapter, and let it charge for at least 30 minutes. Sometimes, an iPad Pro that appears dead just needs a good old-fashioned charge.
If your iPad Pro still doesn't respond after charging, it might be time to force restart it. This is different from a normal restart and can help in situations where the device is unresponsive. To force restart an iPad Pro, quickly press and release the Volume Up button, then quickly press and release the Volume Down button, and finally press and hold the Power button until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
If the force restart doesn't do the trick and your iPad Pro is still as unresponsive as a sleepy cat, we can try putting it in Recovery Mode. This can help when the software on the device is causing the issue. To enter Recovery Mode, connect your iPad Pro to a computer with iTunes open. Press and release the Volume Up button, then press and release the Volume Down button, and finally press and hold the Power button until the device enters Recovery Mode and prompts you to restore or update.
In some cases, a software glitch might be causing your iPad Pro not to turn on. If you managed to get into Recovery Mode but restoring didn't solve the issue, you can try putting your device in DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. This mode allows for a deeper restore of the device's firmware. The steps to enter DFU mode are a bit different depending on the iPad Pro model, so make sure to look up the specific instructions for your device.
If all these troubleshooting steps fail to revive your iPad Pro, it might be time to seek assistance from an authorized service provider or Apple Store. They have the expertise and tools needed to diagnose and fix hardware issues that might be causing the problem.
Remember, technology can sometimes be quirky, but there's usually a solution to every problem. Stay patient and give these troubleshooting steps a try. With a bit of luck and persistence, your iPad Pro might just spring back to life and be ready for more adventures in the digital world.
