[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1631340, member: 234411"] Well, quite peculiar - first, when you refer to 'hard reset', did you hold down both the ON-OFF & HOME buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appeared, then released the buttons to allow the iPad to reboot? If not, give that maneuver a try. Did your 8.x upgrade go as expected? If not, you may need to 'Restore' the device (there are plenty of google hits on the topic); if that does not help, then putting your iPad into 'Recovery' mode may help (again plenty of hits, such as [URL="http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263"]HERE[/URL]); finally, one of the last options is to put the device into DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode - description [URL="http://www.ipadforums.net/threads/dfu-mode-for-dummies.27489/"]HERE[/URL] - please provide the requested information and post back as you perform each of the steps outlined. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
