iPad Why isn’t my iPad turning on?

[eshoquert]

My iPad was dropped down a flight of stairs and fell on the carpet. My touchscreen is relatively that damaged, probably a few thin cracks through. My iPad bezel, however, is completely destroyed and the screen is coming off the body. Any way I can turn it on?

Jaysus I think you need a screen replacement at this point!

Is it charged?

If your LCD is damaged, then it might be on and you wouldn't know. Try some things which would normally generate sound like activating Siri, or plug some headphones in and press the button to start playing music. When you plug it into your Mac, does it show up?

It was fully charged when I dropped it, so yes.

I’ll try connect my headphones to it as I was listening to some music when it happened. Maybe if I press the resume button on the headphones it might start

you likely will not see the true condition of the LCD panel, until you can power it on, and see the screen lit up (assuming it will work at all). With the screen loose like that, you can expect to damage some of the fragile ribbon cables.
