I actually have the iPad 2 mini. Would this process be the same for it?
Battery dead? Turn it totally off and re-start? Google says:"Learn what to do if your iPad Pro doesn't respond when you press buttons or tap on the screen, and the screen is black," Apple's message reads. "To get back to using your iPad Pro, force restart it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo."Nov 20, 2015
