iPad Pro Dead iPad

[Apple Mac Daz]

My M4 iPad Pro 13” was left on charge last night, on my ESR 7-1 base, woke up this morning it was still plugged in showing 90% charge
unplugged it and plugged it back in and it failed acknowledge it was plugged in

Did a force restart and on restarting still wouldn’t charge or acknowledge it was plugged in again

Then the iPad powered down and now it won’t power up and no sign of any life

Any ideas take it knackered for some reason

If you can not turn it on, the last option I believe is to restore it with DFU mode.

If you can't update or restore your iPad - Apple Support

You can put your iPad in recovery mode, then restore it using your computer.

support.apple.com

Please do a search on this. As I have never tried it on any iPad.

Easiest to do with Apple Configurator, shows on the screen "DFU" when achieved.
The M4 series iPad Pros are pretty finicky about getting in DFU mode, not to mention the finger dance.
The timing is pretty tight. It may take you 10 - 20 times to get it right.
Do not follow the 10 second recommendation, try several times at 5 - 7 seconds.

Could a Apple Store get it back on

I do have AC+ on the device worse case

Sure, store can certainly help
