Ipad2 constantly seeking reactivation??
Jan 3, 2017 at 6:56am Edited
started up from scratch OK this morning. So the problem occurs either after going energy-save mode for a couple of hours OR going into energy-save mode while being connected to a charging cable.
so far, problem appears corrected, and I can again access emails and FaceTime. Still don't understand why it occurred. There was no update that suddenly caused coding confusion...

Any advice welcome!
My previously reliable iPad 2 has greeted me on the past two morning with the perplexing message: Trying to reactivate. Cannot reach activation server.
I've had this iPad for about 3 years, inherited from my sister who'd had it new for a couple of years. It's always been reliable except for one small problem last Easter when I accidentally locked myself out of it. iOS is 9.3.something (won't update later). Stacks of memory left, although I use it lots I don't keep masses of critical or confidential stuff on it.
Yesterday the Apple Store folks helped restore the factory settings and we restored a backup, then replaced some other apps, tried to get my gmail etc. It won't let me get into FaceTime (I get a similar activation message). Anyway, when I went to bed it was mostly working but when I woke up this morning, it was dead again.
Does anyone know what's going on?? The Apple folks all claim to never have seen or heard of this before.
(I have searched for this problem, and solutions, so I know the Apple folks are telling porkies, but I'm hoping you've got better suggestions or explanations.)
