Check the Temperature
Another item to check on the iPad is how hot the device is. Sometimes leaving the device charging, or leaving it in the sun for too long, can cause it to overheat. If you see a message like the one below remove the device from the charger, or away from the heat source, and let it cool down.
It is important to let the iPad fully cool so that the device does not become any more damaged. Once the device cools down enough this message will go away, and you can then try turning the iPad back on.

Charge the iPad
Another obvious area to check is if the iPad has a good full charge. Use the official iPad charger and cable to make sure that the battery is charging correctly and, after an hour or so, check to see if the device will turn back on. By allowing it up to an hour this will give the iPad a chance to get a good charge, if in fact that is the problem behind it not turning on.

Head to an Apple Store
If all else fails go to the Apple Store to have them help fix your iPad. If there is no physical or water damage to the iPad you can sometimes get a replacement or the iPad fixed for a somewhat reasonable price. While this will solve your issue use this as a last call, as it will be the most expensive option. Also check your warranty if you have one with Apple care, Square Trade or with your wireless carrier to help resolve the problem.
