iPad Not Turning On? Here’s a Step-by-Step Guide
(Kushwaha Telecom Pvt. Ltd. — Apple service centre, Delhi NCR)
If your iPad suddenly stops turning on, don’t panic. It’s one of the most common issues faced by Apple users. Whether your screen stays black, doesn’t charge, or seems completely dead, there’s always a reason behind it, and in most cases, it can be fixed.
At Kushwaha Telecom Pvt. Ltd., we specialize in iPad repair services in Delhi NCR, including battery replacement, logic board repair, water damage treatment, and charging issues. But before you visit a repair centre, try these simple steps to bring your iPad back to life.
First Things To Try: Quick Checks You Can Do Now
Start with the simplest fixes. They often work and save time.
Charge the iPad for at least 30 minutes. Use a known-good Lightning or USB-C cable and a reliable wall adapter. Some iPads show a blank screen for several minutes if the battery is fully drained.
Force restart the iPad.
For iPads with Face ID or without a Home button: Press and quickly release Volume Up → press and quickly release Volume Down → press and hold the Power button until the Apple logo appears.
For iPads with a Home button: Press and hold Home + Power together until the Apple logo appears.
Check the charging accessories and port. Try a different cable and adapter. Inspect the port for lint or debris; gently clean with a dry, soft brush. Don’t insert metal objects.
Try a computer connection. Connect the iPad to a Mac or PC with iTunes (or Finder on macOS Catalina and later). If the computer recognizes the iPad, you may be prompted to update or restore iOS – more on that below.
If Your iPad is Detected by a Computer
When your iPad is recognized, you can try software fixes that don’t erase data first.
Update iPadOS: If offered, choose Update (not Restore). Updating refreshes the system without deleting personal files.
Restore only if necessary: If the update fails or the iPad remains unresponsive, restore the device. Restoring erases data; only proceed if you have a backup or after consulting a technician.
Common Causes and What They Mean
Understanding the likely cause helps decide whether a DIY fix is enough or if you need a repair centre.
Completely drained battery: Usually fixed with a reliable charger and some patience.
Software crash / firmware issue: Force restart or update via computer often resolves this.
Faulty charger, cable, or adapter: Replace the accessory to rule this out.
Dirty or damaged charging port: Debris can prevent charging; physical damage needs professional repair.
Battery failure or swollen battery: If the iPad charges very slowly or not at all, battery replacement may be required. A swollen battery is a safety risk – stop using the device and bring it in.
Water damage: Liquids can short components. Immediate power-off and professional cleaning are needed.
Logic board / hardware failure: If none of the above work, an internal component could be faulty and may require component-level repair.
Safe DIY Checklist (What to do and What to Avoid)
Do:
Use Apple-certified or high-quality cables and adapters.
Try a different power outlet and cable.
Force restart before trying advanced steps.
Connect to a computer and attempt an update first.
Don’t:
Insert metal objects into the charging port.
Open the iPad yourself (this risks further damage and voids warranties).
Use unknown or cheap chargers that can damage the battery or port.
Attempt soldering or logic board repairs unless you’re a trained technician.

FAQs - Quick answers
My iPad hows a black screen - is it dead?
Not necessarily. A black screen can result from a drained battery, software crash, or display failure. Try the charge and force restart steps first.
How long should I charge a fully dead iPad before it shows signs of life?
Charge for at least 30 minutes on a reliable charger; some deeply discharged batteries need longer (up to an hour) to show a charging indicator.
Will updating or restoring via a computer delete my data?
Updating preserves data; restoring erases the device and reinstalls iPadOS. Always try Update first and restore only when necessary or after a backup.
Can a swollen battery be fixed at home?
No. Swollen batteries are hazardous. Stop using the iPad and bring it to a professional for safe replacement.
Do you provide warranty on repairs?
Yes, Kushwaha Telecom offers a warranty on parts and labor for covered repairs. We’ll provide details specific to your service.
