When your iPad dies in the middle of a critical email, what do you do? Perhaps you're browsing the web when you notice your iPad isn't charging. In any case, having to interrupt what you're doing because of this all-too-common issue is a hassle. The good news is that a solution exists. In reality, depending on the cause of your iPad's charging issue, there are many possible solutions. Check it out to see how to repair an iPad that won't charge:

Why is my iPad not charging?

The issue is most likely due to a problem with one or more of the following components if your iPad isn't charging:

• The iPad’s software
• The iPad’s power adapter
• The iPad’s lightning cable
• The iPad’s charging port

Problems with Software

It's possible that your iPad's charging issue is caused by software. Restarting your iPad can help in this situation.
To restart an iPad with Face ID, follow these steps:

• Click and release the Volume Up button easily.
• Click and release the Volume Down button easily.
• Keep the Top button down before the iPad reboots.

To restart an iPad with the Home button, press and hold the Home button, as well as the Side or Top button, for at least 10 seconds, or until the Apple logo appears.
Plug your iPad in for at least half an hour after restarting it to see if it charges.

Problems with Your iPad Power Adapter

To see if your iPad's power adapter is the problem, try plugging it into different power sources. Attempt to connect the cable to the wall charger or adapter that came with your iPad first. If that doesn't work, try plugging it into a device, using each of the USB ports on the computer. It's best not to use your iPad when it's charging because it won't carry a charge or charge properly. If your iPad charges with some chargers but not with others, the issue is most likely with your iPad charger or power adapter, not with the iPad itself.

Problems with the Lightning Cable

An old or worn-out Lightning cable is a common cause of iPad charging issues. Take a look at the Lightning cable that came with your iPad. Is the Lightning cable or connector frayed or discolored in some way? If this is the case, a new cable might be required.
Some concerns with Lightning cables cannot be readily apparent. Even if your cable appears to be in perfect shape, try charging your iPad with a different cable to rule out any bugs or issues with your first cable. Ensure that the cable is securely connected to the iPad and the power adapter. It's likely that your iPad would give you a warning that it's not charging.
If you're looking for a new Lightning cable, make sure it's MFi-certified, which stands for "Made for iPad, iPhone, and iPod." Apple has licensed and deemed MFi-certified lightning cables and other accessories safe to use with Apple devices.

Problems with Your Charging Port

Over time, dust and debris will accumulate in your iPad's charging port, preventing it from charging properly. If your iPad isn't charging, search the charging port on the bottom of the unit for debris and clean it out. After that, attach your charging cable to your computer. You'd be shocked how often a clogged or dirty port is the root of the issue!
An anti-static brush, which can be bought online, is the safest way to clean your iPad's charging port. Anti-static brushes don't emit electric charges, which may cause harm to the inside of your iPad when cleaning it.

If you've read this far and still haven't found a workaround for your non-charging iPad, it's time to seek professional help. It's likely that the charging port is too disgusting for you to clean. Perhaps your iPad isn't charging because of water damage or an internal issue caused by a fall or other damage.
