Hi - I'm a long time jailbreaker, I know my way pretty well around redsn0w and Pwnagetool. However, I've never jailbroken an iPad before, and I'm having an issue. With redsn0w, you are instructed to power down the iPad while it's connected to the computer. The problem is, every time I power down my iPad while it's plugged in, it simply powers back on as soon as it goes off. Same thing if I turn it off, then plug it in - as soon as I get plugs in, it turns itself back on. How do I get it into DFU mode if it won't stay off?

Bell-end op already got it sorted :p, but was going to say that it didn't matter, just dfu like normal.
