It was fine when I turned it off but when I went to use it yesterday, it was just a black screen,as in it wont turn on.Any suggestions on retrieving the contents. Any really free retrieval software out there? The one I tried was free to retrieve it but to save it to computer was almost $70. and it didnt save/retrieve my PDFs.
Suggestions please!

Do you have a computer with which to sync your ipad? I sync mine through Itunes (which can be downloaded free, I believe). It would be interesting to see if your computer can read the ipad that way. I have never heard to special software to retrieve info from a secondary drive and would be very hesitant to go that route. Maybe swing by an Apple store to see if they can help?

This is very weird. My year-old chromebook went completely black this morning and I couldn't get it to respond to anything! After a while, I tried holding the power key for 10 seconds and it came back up. This has never happened to me before. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I might think...................

My iPad mini did this not too long ago. I figured out that if I held down both the power button and the main front button, it did a hard reset and it came back to life. Not sure if it's the same for full-size iPads, but as CanoePam suggests, I'd look online and see and give that a shot. Can't hurt!
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Nothing is worse than when a precious bit of technology becomes a paperweight.

Thanks my friends! I can't believe I tried resetting it yesterday and it didn't work. Thought I would try it again today before I was going to go to the Apple Store. And, WOW! It worked! I am back up and running! Weird things are a happening! LOL!

My I-Pad is acting up this last week. The icons come up and I select one of them. When I attempt to use my finger to select something on that page, it does not work. I am planning to bring it to the Apple store this weekend. My children gave it to me for Christmas last December.
