Steps to Fix Your iPad Charging Problem
To help you get your iPad working again, we've listed the following solutions for you. Try these steps and see which one works for you:
-
Check the charger, cable and adapter:
- Check the charger, cable, or adapter for any damage, such as kinks, cracks, or exposed wires.
- Test the charger and cable with another Apple device to determine if they are working properly.
- If you see any damage or suspect a defect, try a different charger, cable or adapter.
-
Clean the charging port on your iPad:
- Use a toothpick, cotton swab, soft brush, or air spray to gently remove dust and dirt from the charging port.
-
Check your iPad software:
- Make sure your iPad is up to date with the latest software version.
-
Reset your iPad:
- First, try a soft reset by restarting your iPad.
- If that doesn't help, consider a hard reset, which will restore factory settings (note: back up your data before doing this).
- An alternative way to reset the iPad: press and hold the power button and the home button (or volume down button on newer models) at the same time until the Apple logo appears.

Seek professional help:
- If you are unable to resolve the issue yourself, contact Leapp, another trusted supplier, or an authorized Apple repairer for advice or repair.
Tips for maintaining your iPad and charger
Now that your iPad is charging again, you want to avoid the same problem in the future. Here are some tips to prevent charging issues:
- Back up your iPad regularly to avoid panic when your iPad won't charge.
- Charge your iPad regularly, but avoid overcharging by not leaving it on the charger overnight.
- Only use official Apple charging cables and adapters, or trusted alternatives with MFi certification.
- Gently pull the cable out of your iPad from the connector, without pulling hard.
