Update iOS 9 bricks ipad 2

First of all, I would like to point out the ridiculousness of the problems created by this update, I'm sure that many others have already pointed out.

Then, the context: my mom owns an iPad 2. Recently the apps refused to work because the latest version of iOS has not been installed. She was operating on v5.blah.blah.blah which I will admit is very old and sad, but regardless, I tried the update only to receive an "unknown error (9). The iPad is now brick. iTunes has wanted to do a factory restore to solve the problem, so restoration was begun only to again receive an another "unknown error (9). Now, the iPad is stuck on one of the two screens. 1. an Apple gray with a crack of the lower left diagonal moving upward to the right. 2. the classic connect to iTunes screen. iPad will not allow me into recovery (in the iPad itself, no iTunes) mode or using the key combination to do a forced factory reset. It acts as if it will work and then the screen flashes all colors of the artifact (lines) through the screen for like 200ms and then it turns off. If I connect to iTunes and try to do an update or a recovery/reset to factory default, I get the same 'unknown error (9). I've exhausted all the options, maybe not visited all the forums, but enough to see that I have a unique experience (surprisingly) with iOS 9. Pretty disappointing to have a quality premium instead of an iPad Clipboard.

Any ideas or suggestions, I'll take. Just please read the whole story... I don't want stupid responses ' is it plugged? "," is it lit? "," have you tried to plug into iTunes and do an etc...? I've tried another 3 times today do a factory reset on the side of device and iTunes and an update directly. Next step is to go to an apple store and get help, which will probably result in the typical "nevermind, buy a new" response. T_T

Your last option is the best. Is it to be repaired. It may have reached the end of its service life.

See you soon

Pete
