My iPad Air has just died, I can't get it to start up. I've tried it plugged into the mains but still no joy. Has anyone had this problem before? Does anyone know if they can be repaired?

    This, if it was low on power, it sometimes a good while before the screen comes up with the red battery charging symbol.

    Was going to say, sometimes mine and my sons iPads take a while to turn on if they are completely flat battery wise, sorry,no ideas other than that, good luck.

    Is the charger definitely working? Do you have an iPhone you can test it on?

    I've still got it plugged in , so I will wait and see. I'm sure it had plenty of power left in it before it died. It seems more like it is locked up than having no power.
    I've tried holding the buttons in for quite a time but no joy.

    Can it connect to a laptop? Via iTunes?

    Hold the home screen and power button to reboot?

    Make sure it's an iPad charger not a phone one then keep plugging in and taking out a few times and pressing home button it needs a jump start. That's what my bosses did last week and I got it working.

    Mine did the same and took 24 hours of being on charge to come back to life. Then was fine (until I left it in the car roof and drove off).

    Wipe the end of it? Blow it? The end of the charger and the connector in the iPad I mean.

    Shake it vigorously and bang it against the wall
