My iPad does not respond - Please help, urgent

[Equinox]

I was playing a game of soduku, when all of a suddenthe ipad froze. No matter what I press or tap, nothing gives.

According to the manual and what I gathered from other websites:

1. Press the home button and hold: No reponse
2. Press the ON button and hold: No response
3. Press them both together and hold: No response

I tried to let the battery drain, hoping it would turn off, but didnt help.

Now I need help from real Apple gurus.

Thanks in advance

Hold a little longer.

Do number 3 and hold for about 10+ sec until the apple icon comes up, then release. Wait, it may take a while to come up. Also if you have run the battery down, charge it for about 10 - 15 min first.

I have charged the ipad overnight, so far it did not come up.

Can someone please suggest a solution.

Thanks in advance.

btw. Brenn and Poco, I like your sense of humor

They might have a great sense of humor, but they weren't kidding!

Seriously....

Hold down the Home button then hold down the Sleep/Wake button until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen. This can take 10-15 seconds so be patient.

If this does not work, it may be time to restore your iPad... seriously!

I know! I was thinking, where were they funny.



Did it work?

Thanks all for your input.

Apparently when I had on the charger, it wasnt getting charged, the next morning I realised that and got it charged, it came back up as strong as a horse.

My next question is: What caused it to freeze, is it possible the game I downloaded? I deleted the game immediately after that.
