Why won't my ipad mini 2 turn on?

When I got home, my iPad Mini wasn’t plugged in to charge, so I charged it for hours assuming it’ll turn on. I’ve tried turning it on, soft resetting, even hard resetting, yet I didn’t see the apple logo; the screen remained complete back. I even tried resetting and turning it on in itunes, yet it didnt connect to itunes, have the apple logo, and the screen remained complete black. My iPad mini 2 is cracked, but slightly in the corner. And in addition, it is currently charging, and it feels warm.

If it was bumped to the point to crack the digitizer the hit might as well have shorted something inside, either a connector, button cable or a component on the logic board. The fact it feels warm doesn’t necessarily mean it’s charging, shorts allow current to flow where it shouldn’t and create heat. I would avoid keeping it charging since that apparently doesn’t work. If you feel like getting in a DIY project, you could try open it and check all connecting parts to the logic board are firmly in place and there are no signs of burnt anywhere. Besides that, we get into logic board troubleshooting and that requires knowledge and tools. Here you can find all replacement guides you can use as a reference if you decide to try yourself, but I’d warn you iPads repair is not a stroll.
