Ipad Home button not working #iphone #ipad

So try this:

• Hold the iPad in front of you in landscape mode
• Push the button and keep it held while you gently rotate it to Portrait mode, then release.
• See if you get any response: 1 out of 2 times, 1 out of 3, etc.
• If that works, or even if it doesn’t, lay the iPad gently on a hard, smooth surface, so there is even resistance. (If its in a case, I’d recommend taking it out) Push the button, hold it in a second longer than normal, then gently release.
• This may be totally anecdotal but it “feels” like it started responding when, after I pushed, I kept it pushed for a second, and then gently released.
