Anita's Ipad is unwell. I know it's in there - It goes boing when I connect the charger. I can just faintly see an apple logo at switch on. Via usb I can see there is data (14G) in there, but when I open the only available folder - DCIM - it says it's empty. I guess it's because its locked via passcode. I know the code - but I can't see the screen to enter it! Backlight failed maybe? There are photos on there I'd like to save (not backed up to cloud). It's a 16GB Model A1395. It's a few years old now, so were probably going to replace it, but the pics would be good.

Sudden spontaneous recovery. Tried a hard reset for the tenth time and it woke up! screen seems ok. Unlocked and all files backed up - plus cloud was enabled - so panic over.
