Troubleshooting

iPad Air won't turn on.

Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable.

Restart your iPad Air and your Wi-Fi router. Check if other devices on the network are experiencing similar issues. Ensure you are within range of your Wi-Fi router. Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network to rule out network-specific problems. Update your iPadOS to the latest version.

Ensure your Apple Pencil Pro is charged and properly paired via Bluetooth. Make sure your iPad Air's Bluetooth is turned on. Try re-pairing the Apple Pencil Pro by going to `Settings > Bluetooth`, tapping the 'i' icon next to your Pencil, and selecting 'Forget This Device', then re-pair it. Check for iPadOS updates.
