[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1836992, member: 234411"] Hello [B]Tmhanser[/B] - welcome to the forum! :) Please provide some additional information: 1) What model Mini do you have and what iOS is installed; 2) When functioning, what problems/issues did you notice before the above occurred; and 3) Most importantly, do you have an iClound and/or iTunes backup (or 3rd party BU, such as iMazing)? If you have a recent BU, then the iPad can be restored on another device. You have tried a number of steps w/o success - I final suggestion is to enter DFU (Device Firmware Update) which might revive the device - instructions [url=https://www.imore.com/how-to-iphone-ipad-dfu-mode]HERE[/url]. Finally, iPads are not easily dissembled, and experience, special tools, etc. are often needed - take a look at the [url=https://www.ifixit.com]iFixit Website[/url] for some of their Mini guides. As a further resort (depending on the age and worth of the machine - don't know?), you can visit an Apple store if nearby or an authorized Apple repair service, such as Best Buy. Dave [/QUOTE]
