Got an iPad in for a client, she smashed the digitizer a while ago and muddled on for a bit, but she said it wasnt coming on all the time and she was having to do hard resets to switch it on until eventually it just stopped coming on.
I have it today and have tried hard resets, DFU mode, itunes doesn't see it. It shows up as an unknown device in device manager in win7, but nothing in xp. Nothing flashes on screen, nothing happens at all.
I opened it and took the logic board connectors off the batteries, left it off for half an hour to see if that would do anything & nope, nothing.
I cannot think of anything else to try at all. I dont really want to start ordering random parts at this stage, but I wondered if it could be the power button, but that wouldnt affect it showing up in itunes etc.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!
