Really sorry to be a bother. I had checked the responses from the community earlier and had found that I could reset which is what you have asked me to do. Unfortunately it didn't work. The truth is that I was charging my ipad and slept off. When I woke up, I saw the apple logo on the screen and upon shutting down and powering, the same apple logo comes on. I tried pressing the home button and the power button by the side like you suggested. The apple logo comes on after about 5 seconds and remains on screen until I shut it down. When its shut down and I put in the charger, the same apple logo comes on. What do I do?
