So I haven't used my iPad 5th Gen for a couple years but I wanted to give it to my son for him to use however whenever I have it plugged in it does a continuous loop of the apple logo showing then dissapearing. I have tried a hard reset and also tried the DFU but it reaches a point where it says that it is waiting for the iPad but nothing happens. If anyone has had the same issues and found a way to fix it please let me know.
