Hey,

You need to give us a bit more details to get good help.

When did this issue happen (following a repair/drop/liquid spill/left charging all night, etc.)?

Was the iPad ever repaired before?

Do you use a cheap/copy charger?

If you to try turn it on, do you see something on the screen? If yes, what?

Let us know if you see:

1/ Nothing => plug in a known good charging cable and charger, now do you see anything?

2/ An empty battery with charging cable => plug in a known good charging cable and charger, what happens?

There are a number of things that can cause this. It could be a bad battery, or one that's not charged due to a bad charging port or charging cable, or a bad LCD, or a bad logic board, or a software issue.

The first thing to do is to plug it into your computer and open iTunes. See if iTunes recognizes it. If it recognizes it but the screen doesn't turn on it's likely a bad LCD.

If it doesn't recognize it try a different USB cable. If it still doesn't recognize it try a DFU restore (google how to DFU and you'll find the steps to do this). If you've never done a DFU restore before you'll need to follow the steps closely and you'll probably have to try repeatedly to get it to work as it's very time-sensitive so if you wait 15 seconds instead of 10 it won't work.

If iTunes recognizes it when it's in DFU mode (and says "iTunes has found a device in recovery mode") then try to restore it. If it finishes the restore without error it should restart and the screen should come back on. If it gives an error post the error code and we may be able to determine the cause. In my experience most of the time it's due to a problem with the logic board, usually the PMIC, which is a very difficult repair. Occasionally it can be caused by a bad charging port or battery.
