Look at the iPad’s Charging Block Take a moment to check out your charging block to see if there is any damage to it and to ensure it is receiving power. To do this, you may need to try to connect another cable to it and see if it powers the device when that cable is plugged in. If you continue to have issues with determining whether the charging block works, attempt to charge your device via a computer or another block – if it works, then the issue was the original block. Inspect the Charging Cable If your charging block is in good working order, the next thing you want to do is inspect your charging cable. Look for any signs that there is damage. You should check the cord both visually and by touch. If you are not sure if your cable is the problem, try using the cable with another device or use another cable with your device to see if this solves the issue. Restart Your iPad An issue with the software on your iPad could be what is causing the problem you are experiencing with the charging. Simply restarting your device may solve the problem for you. When that does not work, a full reset may be required. It is important to note that this will erase the data on your device, so you should back it up first.
