Can't really be a relation as had no backups whatsoever ;-)
Apple shop said it is too old to fix - they don't have spares.

If it were a PC, etc, I'd just remove the HD or SSD, stick it in a caddy,
and read it with another PC. But haven't a clue about ianythings.

It's going to be sent here so I can look at it - but would be nice to hear
from anyone who knows these things well.


First thing to try is putting it on a known working charger and lead. Leads
fail not that infrequently, chargers less often but do die sometimes.

There may well be back-ups but theyll be in the iCloud. If your relation
buys a new iPad or iPhone contacts, messages, photos etc should all be
accessible (assuming they had iCloud backup activated).
