    iPad Why isn’t my iPad turning on?

    My iPad was dropped down a flight of stairs and fell on the carpet. My touchscreen is relatively that damaged, probably a few thin cracks through. My iPad bezel, however, is completely destroyed and the screen is coming off the body. Any way I can turn it on?

    Screenshots attached. The MLK quote is awesome, (and very relevant for many reasons) but the book link seems to be broken as the book isn't available and I can't find in when I search in the iBook store. Anyone else ?
