Hopeful someone can help. We bought a used Ipad 1 for our elderly Mom. She only uses it to play solitaire and thats it. So, received ipad-great condition, looked 9/10 cosmetically. The ebay 45 day seller protection has passed (by only 5 days). Anyway, this ipad is now a black screen, won't turn on, charge, nothing. I connected it to itunes and it promted me with Itunes has detected your ipad is in recovery mode. You must restore this ipad before it can be used with itunes. I click OK, and restore/update. It then extracts software and begins to restore ipad. Problem is, after leaving it connected to my PC overnight it still readsPreparing ipad software for restore..... In other words, just a continuous loop with no results. Resetting iPad does nothing, screen still unresponsive/black. Is there anything else I can try before just tossing it in the trash? It's not worth taking it to Apple.
