I would keep it on the charger for a while, like over night. Then I
would press and hold both the home and power button at the time. Hold
it until you thought you held it way too long, but don't let go. Hold
both even longer until something happens.
Thanks,

Last week, all of a sudden, it does not recognize anything plugged in to it's charge/data port. In other words, it does not take a charge, or interface to a PC any longer. It's almost like the connector on the iPad quit working. I have confirmed the cable that I was using is good, and there has been no physical damage to the iPad. I have performed a complete reset on the unit with no change. Something interesting is it will take a "trickle charge", even though it never shows it's charging. For instance, if it is left plugged in over night, the battery percentage will raise about 10%.
