iPad 3 won't wake up

Last nite I used my iPad 3, put it to sleep and went to bed.  This morning it wouldn't wake up.  Put it on the charger, but still didn't come on - no indication that it is charging on either of the Apple chargers I use.  Left it on one then the other for hours.  Also tested the chargers with other devices.  Have cycled the wake/sleep button, to no avail.  This unit has been treated well - no drops or liquids.  Kinda obvious to suspect the battery.  Is there a way to test it? Reset it? Other ideas?

Hello.

Please try clicking on both the Power Button and the Home Button at the same time.

Do not let go of any of those buttons, and keep clicking them for a while.

Good luck!

The Hard Reset didn't bring up any display, so I plugged it in, as suggested.  Immediately and briefly, the battery icon with a thin red bar comes up. At least now I know it's charging. I'm hoping I don't need to go to step 3.
Thanks for the help!
