a fate worse than...

[Jon B]

Hullo people,

I come in my hour of need, my partners iPad II is acting up. O_o

Here is the behaviour it is exhibiting:

- sleep/suspend button now seems to switch the iPad off completely

- to re-active iPad requires holding down 'home' key and 'sleep/suspend'  (AKA a reset?)

- most other operations appear to be working once iPad is restarted

- except for one thing, no sound comes out of speaker/headphones (nothing from apps, video, or keyboard sounds. nada.)

Things tried:

- multiple resets

- latest software update from Apple (5.1.1)

- checked 'side switch' settings.

- checked 'mute' is off.

No joy so far.  Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Jon.
