iPad Pro Need to Drain my iPad Pro 9.7 Battery to 0%. How?

[Mahler12x]

I have an issue with my iPad Pro 9.7 that whenever you update the OS, it comes back with a black screen. No Apple logo on hard reboot, nothing. You can plug it in to my MacBook and it shows. You can “restore” it and it’ll go through all the motions including the screen coming up during the install process like normal. Problem is, when it’s done, you’re back to a black screen that makes it appear like a brick again.

One day, after mostly giving up on the thing for a few weeks, I plugged it in on a whim. A battery appeared on screen and the SOB took on charge, booted up as new. Thing worked great for weeks, until an OS update ruined it. Got it back, rinse, repeat.

The common theme seemed to be a full battery drain after a wired restore. I did see this turn up in a forum somewhere as being an odd solution.

So, my question is, I’ve got the darn black screen again and I wanted to know if anyone knew of a creative way to drain the battery so I don’t have to wait like a week or two to get this thing working again.

Thanks!

I would just turn the screen brightness up all the way, and set it to not go to sleep, then maybe just keep it somewhere playing YouTube videos on mute for several hours. Should be dead by the end of the day.

Sorry, my post was really longwinded, I know. The issue is that it’s a black screen. The iPad is not bricked, but it looks like it is. I can’t interact with it.

Press the volume up-button.
Press the volume down-button.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake/Power-button for 15-20 seconds.

Repeat this twice and it should force-unplug battery-plug-in-restart itself.
