A 7th gen 10.2" ipad crapped out a while ago and I just tossed in a drawer. I probably took it to an Apple store a while ago - I’ve only ever had hardware problems with ipads, so those were the only reasons I visited the genius bar (my Macs and iphones have all long outlasted them). Not remembering what happened to it, I recently tried recharging (no problem) and rebooting which took me to an “update or restore required” screen. After downloading and following instructions, it returned to the same screen. Assuming there is no hope for it, is there any reason to keep it? Do you do anything interesting with your defunct ipads?
