Right now my ipad touch screen is not responding whenever I start any apps (Youtube, Games, Settings etc). It's only fine on the home menu.
I google around and it seems the only solution is to restart my ipad, but problem is my ipad's power button is screwed and will never work no matter how hard I pressed it.

usually when I need to restart my ipad I will just change the font to bold or reset wireless settings, but no since touch screen also not functioning how am I suppose to reboot it? rclxub.gif

It's fully charged now and if I were to wait until it ran out of battery, without the touch screen functioning it's gonna take maybe weeks since I can't play any video music or anything to make the battery drain much faster.

anyone can think of any solution to this? is there any other way to reboot my ipad?
Is it possible to send it to any repair shop to get the power button fixed?
Just FYI it's an Ipad 3.

that's exactly what I did to reboot my ipad before this, problem is now even touch screen not responding, so can't do any of those.
