Does not work on mine

Don’t push the button for a second, just push Volume up, Volume down and then keep the Power button pressed until the iPad resets.

That’s how it worked for me at least.

Pushing volume up button for 1 second and then pushing volume down button for 1 second are wrong,

should just press them once and release immediately.

Vol Up -> Vol Down -> Power (hold for 5s)

Press and release volume up button

Press and release volume down button

hold down the power button, and on mine, I had to swipe the off logo with my other hand before the apple appeared.

Now the Apple is gone, but it’s not rebooting.

i miss the button at the bottom LOL
