Have you experimented with various Lightning cables? I faced a peculiar problem a few years ago with a 7th generation iPad that couldn't finish a restore using a USB-C to Lightning cable, only a USB (non-c) to Lightning connection worked.
I need to repeat myself several times. That's why I'm here, since I couldn't locate it before.
Many options lack the features I need (full restoration, not just recovery mode), seem overly risky to test, or are too old to work with.
In fact, swapping the battery could be a viable solution to think about. If the device is "beyond dead," it might still face issues even when plugged in. Without a functional battery, it can freeze, malfunction, and possibly fail to restore altogether. If you prefer not to proceed that way, attempting to jailbreak it using checkra1n might be worth trying. This tool is quite effective at bringing iPhones, iPads, and iPads back from recovery mode.
