iPad 2 rebooting

    Warranty is out in two weeks so I may take it back to the shop where I got it.

    For the past couple of weeks my iPad keeps rebooting out of the blue. Battery is fine, it may reboot 3 or 4 times straight after another and then be fine for a day or 2 and then reboots again. I have it Jailbroken so I wiped it and restored it w/o Jailbreak with minimum apps but the same thing happens.

    It's the 16GB Wifi White model. I've googled the problem and it's does happen to quite a few people. Any other suggestions? Should I just take it back to the shop before the warranty runs out?

    Thanks

    It may have been a silly question really as the warranty is up too soon to try any suggestions. I could re-download 5.1.1 firmware and restore again but the window of the warranty is too soon.

    Thanks for the reply dodzy

    Ring Apple. It'll be sorted out much more quickly if you go to them directly.

    Yep just did it. They will send out a box so you can send it back. One part of the email concerned me though

    I've had the iPad Jailbroken but it is restored now. Is there any way they will know it's been JB ?

    Also the quoted text above says your device may become inoperable when they update it. Is that there to scare people off that have JB or is it possible?

    Anythings possible. You have restored it now, they won't know.
