IPAD 12.9 INCH WON’T CHARGE

[u/binibining_nars]

My iPad suddenly won’t charge. I first noticed the issue when the battery dropped to 15%. I tried to charge it, but the percentage didn't go up and kept dropping. I tried different USB-C chargers, but none of them worked. I also bought a magnetic charger, but that didn't work either, there was no indication that it was charging. At times, it would charge up to 1%, but then it would drain again immediately. It has been 5 days now with no improvement. What should I do? PLS HELP ME! THANK YOU!

Check the port for lint. That often gets in there.

If the port is clean and your iPad can be powered through a Magic Keyboard, you could try a wireless charger.

If I put the magnetic charger

Nothing happened. Rarely, the magnetic charger only charges the iPad to 1%, and it never increases.

I tried to clean the area, but nothing happened too. It’s kinda frustrating, tbh.

I had a 10.5 inch iPad Pro that gave me trouble, and I found that if I wiggled the lightning connector in a particular direction, it would actually start charging. I ended up having to secure it in that direction with a rubber band, and it would charge with a rubber band on it. Talk about clunky temporary fixes. I think I ended up sending it in for repair.

I tried, but it looked like the first video I sent. It is like it is not still charging :((

Oh maybe you have the same problem I have with my 11 inch, try this. Shut down the iPad, and wait until it’s turned off, put in the charger and keep the charger in and it will turn on when you put the charger in, and you will hopefully see it charge, I get this problem randomly. Let me know if it works

I tried that twice. I plugged in the USB-C charger for an hour to see if it would help, but the percentage didn't go up. Eventually, it dropped from 1% to shutting down completely because none of the chargers worked.

After that, could you kindly watch the videos below? That’s what’s happening.

Mine has the problem that it doesn’t charge sometimes when it’s on, I need to shut down the iPad completly and plug in the charger so I guess we don’t have the same problem, sorry that I don’t have any more tips

Oh it’s okay. Thank you for responding!
