Why Won’t My iPad Shut Off?
The problems that can cause an iPad to not be able to shut off fall into two broad categories: software problems and hardware problems.
Software Problems: There are many kind of software problems that can cause this problem (too many to list in a short article, in fact), but the vast majority of these issues have to do with the iPadOS that runs the iPad. In some cases—less common, but they’re still valid—the software problem has to do with a specific app that’s running on your iPad. Hardware Problems: The most common hardware problem that can stop an iPad from turning off is when one of the buttons you used to shut off the iPad is broken. If the Home, Volume, or Side button isn’t registering a press that’s required to turn off the iPad, the tablet won’t be able to shut down. If you have a broken button, skip right to Step 8 in the next section.
