The Mini Ipad does not respond at all. It worked perfectly until the home button was unresponsive. Then, the home screen became like a “glitch” when I turned it back on after I turned it off to do work outside. I can’t press the pass code or anything to get in. Every time I turned on the home screen, it then “glitches” and fades to black. Somehow, the home button was working again but only for the power reset. I then hold both the power buttons to reset it but it then made it worse. I turned it back on, the Apple Logo appears, and then it fades away like a “glitch” to a black screen. I even tried doing it with a charger on as well.
What happens when you do a soft reset (hold home button & power simultaneously)? If that doesn’t reset it, can you connect to a Mac & restore it?
