iPad Pro updated to 16.2 screen of death

Charging the device yesterday it got to about 70% then charger was intermittetly going on and off. The ipad responded with the screen of death. Now it will not reboot or take a charge using another charger. How do you access iTunes on my iMac to attempt a recovery or do you need a software? Fortunately the iPad backed up yesterday.

iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Wi-Fi

These support pages outline the available methods to restore an iPad - either from a backup, or to Factory Settings:

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup – Apple Support

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support

Restore all content to iPad from a backup - Apple Support


You’ll need access to either a Windows PC (with iTunes for Windows installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of MacOS).

Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support

Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support


Use of a PC or Mac computer is unavoidable. If you don’t have access to a suitable computer of your own, that of a helpful friend or family member will suffice. Alternatively, the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be delighted to assist.
