My iPad Won’t Charge!: Why It’s Happening and How to Fix It

Are you having trouble charging your Ipad and are not sure what to do?

Ipads have become essential for some of us, whether it be using them whilst traveling or entertainment for the kids. But like a lot of devices, when they don’t charge it’s frustrating and can cause a big headache.

But don’t worry, if your Ipad won’t charge there are things you can do to fix it without having to travel to the Apple store.

In this article, we’re going to share some tips on how you can get your Ipad to charge again. Hopefully one of these will work for you and you can get back to using it asap.

Read on for more information.

Try The Simple Off-On trick

For years the off-on method has been the first thing most people try when an appliance doesn’t work. It’s the easiest and simplest thing to try and a lot of the time it works.

In fact, most tech companies will ask you to do it before trying anything else.

By turning the Ipad off, waiting a minute, and then switching it back on again, it reboots the internal computer. Sometimes appliances just stop working and a simple restart fixes it.

Try this and see whether it starts charging again.

Check The Charger For Damage

You may think the problem is the Ipad itself but it could in fact be the charger. Chargers can suffer a lot of wear and tear especially if you travel with it.

Check the cable for exposed wires or any damage. If any wires are exposed, you should throw it away and purchase a new one. If you can’t see any obvious damage, try a different charger. The problem may be on the inside and not visible.

Finally, you should check the USB port for any damage or incase anything has become lodged in it. Try blowing on it as well because dust can sometimes get inside and affect it from working.

Check The Ipad Charging Port

Just like the USB port, things can become stuck in the charging port such as grit and dust.

Get a flashlight and have a look inside to see if anything foreign is in there. If there is, you can try to get it out with a toothpick. But be gentle and make sure you don’t cause any damage. Try blowing on it as well to remove any unwanted dust.
