ipad not working

[jb190281]

I was on my ipad and it just switched itself off! battery was, I think, about 60% so that's not it - I've plugged it in to charge now, just in case!
I just can't get it back on, any ideas?

hi i had this happen on several occasions i was lucky they just replaced it at pc world (within 28 days of purchase) you could always go to an apple store genius bar they are often a good place to resolve issues

on several occasions? does it work for a while then happen again? It's not within 28 days so it'd have to be Apple for me

Was the iPad very hot? They've been known to turn off/shut down when overheating...

[jb190281]

no I don't think it was snags

If you have any problems you need to take it back to the place you bought it from.

[jb190281]

it was a gift

[ummmm]

You can still take it back. Just ask where they got it from...

just been on the phone to Apple support, they did this, that and the other, and the ipad is restoring as we speak. bit worrying that it sounds like a common problem
