Hi,

My iPad Pro (2021) suddenly just got a black screen when I tried to wake it. I'm on public beta (I think it's on beta 1).
I don't mind scratching the iPad and just reinstall everything, but to be honest I can't even turn it off and on again.

Every time I click power button, the screen flashes, as if it's on, but with just a slight shimmer (still black screen). Clicking power button again, it turns off the screen again. Holding the power button, I tried holding it for half a minute, but nothing seems to be happening.

As there is no home button, I can't hold both power button and home button, which most guides seems to suggest doing when this issue occurs.

Anyone has any suggestion on what to do?
 
Omg I solved it.

In case anyone else gets this problem, I did:
- volume up
- volume down
- press and hold power button for as long as it takes to get the starting apple logo again (usually 10s~)
