If the iPad is a case? If so, remove the iPad from the case - as the case may be physically interfering with the button.


Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad. If repair is required, you’ll be in the best possible place to explore your available options:
