iPad not charging

Bridgegal — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 16:10:23 GMT

Last night I plugged in my iPad to charge overnight. It was at 32%. This morning it was at 32%. So, I got another charger. After an hour, it's gone from 32% to 34%. This is with the iPad completely off.

Any ideas? Suggestions? TIA!

@Bridgegal : No suggestions but I know it can be frustrating.

Hi, @Bridgegal!

Just a few quick thoughts...

1 -- If you used a different cable, but the same adapter, try a different adapter.

2 -- Also, if you're using an extension cord or power strip, try a different one or plug directly into the electrical wall outlet.

3 -- Additionally, sometimes rebooting/rstarting the iPad will help prompt it to start charging more efficiently.

I'm sure others here will have some good ideas to add. I'm sorry you're having this problem -- very frustrating.

Fingers crossed you'll find a good and quick solution!

Take care.😊

That was happening to both my daughter Iphone and husband Ipad. Got new cables and then it charged.

I just posted a similiar issue about 3 wks ago and it's probably "buried" by now but I went to Best Buy bought a complete new charger and it works perfectly. Mine would not charge either.

I did however have them check mine since it's close to 3 years old which is the average "life" of a unit and my came in at over 70% which is a good thing.. Battery was checked.

Internet search was the first thing I did. My air pods are plugged in to the same extension cord and they charge fine. A lamp is plugged in to the outlet and it's working. I ran errands for several hours and when I got home it was charged to 77%. Now at 89. I don't know why it didn't charge any over night.

Thanks. I'm right by BB so I'll get a new one tomorrow.

I have had this happen also. My suggestion is to hold the Power button and Home button down at the same time for a few seconds to do a hard restart. That worked for me. My iPad was able to charge as usual after that. Good luck.

Use a bent paperclip or "in-between teeth brusher" to clean out the port on the iPad; in the past, when I've had issues with charging it has been because of lint accumulating within the port.

Good luck!
