iPad mini 2 won't get past the apple logo

I have an iPad mini 2 that was my mother in laws and it stopped working right so she bought a new one and gave me this one. The issue started out when you plugged it in to charge. When you plugged it into the wall charger the apple logo would show on the screen and it would beep slow. It would never turn on or do anything else at all, just show the logo and beep. Now it has progressed to just the logo and nothing else at all. When it dies all the way, the battery icon that shows it needs charged will show up, and then the apple logo comes back and just stays. I’ve done the hard reset with the power and home button and it doesn’t do anything. I can’t seem to get it into recovery mode to plug it into my computer to see if iTunes can do anything.
