iPad Won't Turn Back On After Powering Off
On 25 August I was having minor troubles with the speed of my iPad on the web. Websites were loading slowly when I was trying to do research for my writing, with some having only halfway loaded according to the blue strip in the searchbar. When I usually have troubles like this, I refresh the page and it gets going again. This time, it didn't. I then opted to switch it off properly in an attempt to quicken the iPad's pace by holding down the power button and swiping right on the screen. I give it 20 seconds before trying to turn it on again by the power button. Nothing happens. I try this a few times before attempting a forced restart using both the power and home buttons. No signs of life still. The iPad itself had a decent amount of charge left before it devolved into its deep, dreary slumber, 68% or so. I suspect there has been hardware failure, but if so, an extremely rare case of it. Since, as far as I know, iPads don't just conk out like that. Guidance would be much appreciated from anybody with the expertise to know what has transpired here.
iPad, iPadOS 17
