will not power up

[greg1955]

grand son playing a game on the ipad 1st generation. and goes to power the ipad up , and just blinks the screen that the last game he was playing. you can only see the screen for 1 second. did a reset. push the power button and home button at the same time and nothing happens. No apple logo or no home screen. any chance could it be a bad power button? Any response would be helpful. Thanks

What happens when you connect the iPad to iTunes on your computer?
