Completely dead iPad, not in itunes
Got an iPad in for a client, she smashed the digitizer a while ago and muddled on for a bit, but she said it wasnt coming on all the time and she was having to do hard resets to switch it on until eventually it just stopped coming on.
I have it today and have tried hard resets, DFU mode, itunes doesn't see it. It shows up as an unknown device in device manager in win7, but nothing in xp. Nothing flashes on screen, nothing happens at all.
I opened it and took the logic board connectors off the batteries, left it off for half an hour to see if that would do anything & nope, nothing.
I cannot think of anything else to try at all. I dont really want to start ordering random parts at this stage, but I wondered if it could be the power button, but that wouldnt affect it showing up in itunes etc.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!
Could it be the battery perhaps? Can someone help me test that with a multimeter at all?

OK, i just got the very low battery image come up, and now it wont come back. It was when it was plugged in to the pc .... so screen, backlight and power button are ok.

It also appeared as an apple mobile device (dfu mode) for a couple of seconds in device manager. I am starting to think battery ...

After replacing the dock connector and removing the battery and still not getting anything, I think it must be the logic board and the client was not willing to pay for a new one. So case closed, albeit unsatisfactorily.
