Abroad and my beloved iPad 3 died, screen went black, tried everything, pushing all buttons, putting on charger, nothing!!
I still had about 52% charge left.
Panic!!
Went into a PC Speciialist Shop, lucky to find one here in Crete, they simply did a 'restart. ie holding down the on/off button and at the same time, the Home button.
iPad immediately came back to life.
Greast, marvellous.
My question - why did it die in the first place? Is my iPad damaged in some way? Does it harm the iPad to do this restart?
Many thanks.
PS
I had never, in fact, heard of 'restart' perhaps I should have known this.
