Hi, before doing that, I would check to see if the device is properly going into standby. The bug effects iPhones and iPod touches so, why not iPads? Leave your device locked for about 2 minutes then press the up or down volume. If you hear the little popping noise VO makes when volume keys are pressed, your device isn't going into standby properly. The first thing I would do is plug your iPad to you computer and just do a sync with iTunes, and just leave it there until the device is fully charged again. Believe it or not, this often does the trick. If that doesn't work, do a soft reset by pressing the power button 5 times. If that doesn't work, hold down the power and home button for about 10 seconds. You device will restart. Lastly, do a factory restore. If all of the above fails, then take the device to an Apple store.
