Re: Possible to revive older iPad?

At this point, I think your only hope is to go through the reinitialization steps and try to reload the OS. If that fails, the unit is toast.

The passcode panel never shows up on the iPad, just the Apple logo with a frozen circular activity icon, so there's no way I can unlock it, nor would it likely stay up long enough to do anything with it in iTunes because after a minute or so the iPad reboots itself. In this state is there a way to reset it?
