iPad Not Charging? Here's The Real Fix! 

My wife's iPad wouldn't charge, took it to Apple Store. The tech looked at it for about 15 seconds in right front of us and said we need to buy a new one. Completely useless.

Looking at all these comments I'm thinkin apple is scamming and making faulty product smh

Who came to the comments to see if it realy works | | v

IT WORKED!!!! My iPad (brand new and owned only a few months) wouldn’t charge so my husband and I bought a new charger set. It still didn’t charge. I did the hard reset just like the video said and viola! My iPad is charging now and I have extra cords. 😊

Wtf am I meant to do if my iPad is dead?!?!?!

It’s not that. I CANT CHARGE DOESN’T SHOW THUNDER BOLT IF I TURN THIS IPAD ONZ OH NO ITS 4% GOODBYE :( SORRY I CANT CHARGE Edit : AFTER ONE YEAR... IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN :/ Edit : hey guys my iPad has finally learned its lesson to never repetitively do this again :smile:

It's super hard for my iPad to charge, takes like 50 attempts.

yep yep yep yep...and yep! the charger, yep charger, charger yep and the cable, software yep, yep...and yep!

Thanks guys 😊… you two just help me because I was really worried that my iPad Pro M2 suddenly stop charging and won’t charge in with any charger. But as you say first solution to hard reset, I do the same and after that my iPad is now charging again 👍…. Thank you 🙏😊 Love from 🇮🇳……

As soon as I went on this video my iPad started charging and now I’m scared to move it 😅

My iPad will say not charging, sometimes it will charge, and sometimes a message will pop up saying “This Accessory May Not Be Supported” . This is me using my actual charger that came with my iPad. I used my cousins and it charges fine. Does this mean it’s my charger? Because it’s not torn on the cable and it’s clean. I even took apart a piece of the brick of the charger and it’s clean.

When you try to soft reset but the battery is already dead.

This is weird but when my iPad says not charging and I leave it for ten minutes it’s at like 10% battery

Holding down the power button for 1-2 minutes finally worked for me. Thanks!

My iPad just started charging when I clicked into this video lmao

when my ipad gets to 60-70% it just stop charging and says “not charging”

The problem is that my charger worked just fine before updating to iOS 12. Another charger works, but this charger stopped working. No damage, no hardware issues. iOS 12 sucks, basically.

Apple keeps making these products that just keep going backwards as far as functionality and reliability.

First time I did it I got a gray screen and a clicking sound like someone was taking a picture. I followed your instructions got the apple log nothing, while I was doing research it start back up. thanks again.

I know its an old video but thankyou for sorting my new problem out.

You know i wish everything in life is supposed to work like how they usually work and not fail

Ah, I see the problem; Apple! Don't buy Apple. Problem solved.

When people say "could be lint" I roll my eyes; today, I happily stand corrected! It was Lint in the charging port! Thanks guys

i love you guys so much i stressed out cause the repairs were alot, but now my ipad can charge, thank you!

It shows the charging icon but it still goes down in battery :(

That did not work. All I see is the battery indicator and only lower bottom on image is red.😕

Hey guys, thank you so much. You saved my wife some $400 to $600. I will add something to your advice. When you press both buttons to restart it, do it several times. I did this for 4 days off and on, I didn't give up. On the 4th or maybe 5th day, it totally shocked me, there it was all charged and ready to go. Thank you again and remember, don't give up!!

Oh my gosh! Thank you! I almost cried because I use my iPad to pay my bills. Lint, who knew??

Guys, none of your tips worked on my ipad but you guys are great - good video and delivery - thank you for your help!

who elses ran down and won't charge again so it wont turn on-?

I’M ON 7% RN AAAAAA NUUUUUU GOODBYE PEOPLE THESE ARE MY FINAL MOMENTS ON MY IPAD

I was having a panic attack because my iPad wasn’t charging and my parents would literally destroy me if it broke but gues what THE CHARER BLOCK WAS NOT IN SMH (im 10 so that gives reason to my parents being mad)

My iPad says its charging even though it isn’t connected to a charger. Then it drains so easily.

You just saved me £600 on a new iPad, thanks. Was convinced the battery had finally died completely. The steps are logical, no mention of hairdryers!

Mine is one one percent and then I’ll plug it in and it won’t charge. No “not charging” message, no nothing. It’s like I never plugged it in. I tried different chargers, different sockets, everything. I have no clue what to do

You guys saved me. I really appreciate it. Very simple, objective and useful explanation.

4% goodbye iPad Edit 3% hard resented did nothing

See, I can be on my iPad while it’s charging, and it won’t even charge it will just go down (I’ve never had this problem until last night) and when it died, I plugged it up and left it off, and after AN HOUR AND A HALF it was only at about 20 percent

You got yourself a new subscriber. Thank you so much for the first helpful tip, which helped me solve my problem!

After pressing 4/5 times home & power button together it finally worked and turned my iPad on. I was thinking about getting a new one as it’s so difficult to get repaired iPads or apple products you guys just saved me some of Euros .. thanks and bug shoutout for your channel.

My ipad will only partially charge. Ive tried different cables and other things and it have the charging symbol for a sew seconds before going away.

After hard reset my iPad Booted with Android Logo. Why?

I don’t understand, when I use the charge I use, it doesn’t charge, when I use other charges, it works. Like bruh, and my iPad is really new

This don’t help😅 I’ve got a different prop// it says it’s charging but it’s not what do I do?

thanks guys! my ipad wouldn’t charge but it would show the low battery screen. did the restart tgingy and 2 minutes after the apple logo shown!!!

Thank you! I was starting to freak out when my iPad was on 3 percent, I immediately ran to my laptop and plugged it in Didnt work I then did the software thing and I heard it work! I unplugged it from my laptop as it died and now it’s charging tysm!

For some reason my iPad will be charging then it just stops. I go to bed with it charging and I wake up and it’s at like 1% Like wth

I charging it but the lightning logo is not showing up

Thank you so much I rested my iPad it took a few minutes but it was very good.

Thank you! Lint? My naval gazing pays off with your advice

For me it only charges when it’s dead it stops charging once it turns on so it’s only at like 1%😭😢

Thank you very very very much Guys! The hard reset worked but I had to add a twist to it... So I did the reset and nothing BAH junebug. So I did it again after waiting for at least 5 minutes, I think that the waiting part is very important as it never worked the first couple tries but after watching, and now waiting on the 3rd attempt it worked! I believe the recent update has something to do with it. Anyhoo my young son is a happy boy now, thanks guys!

I’ve had mine for 5 years and that happens everyday but I’m getting a new one soon and it won’t charge when it’s on.

Thank you doing a hard reset fixed my iPad Pro and it started charging again , charges fine now great advice thank you

thank you so much. my ipad has bein not working, but thanks to you it WORKS!!!!!!!😄😄😄😄😄😄

My iPad won’t charge, so I bought a new charger now it charges enough to turn it on and have it at 1% but once it’s there it won’t keep charging. 😖

My iPad Pro 10.5 started with the "charging -- yeah, not really" bug last night. Doing the hard reset holding home and power buttons for 20-30 seconds as shown in the video fixed it -- nice! I couldn't even find the correct procedure on Apple's support site, but this RU-vid video got me up and running again!

My iPad will charge then it will not charge I tryed multiple cables and outlets and it’s clean and has a glass screen protector this started yesterday and it charges 6% a day

Hey, so my iPad does not charge by the charger given by apple, however if I charge it with another cord and plug then it works perfectly, what’s the problem?

Thank you guys for all your hints. I’m a 70 year old retired doctor. My first Apple was the ‘83-‘84 version which is still pristine in its Mac bag with all the cables and drives that came with it. Next year I began upgrading my Mac every 1-2 years and I’ve held on the them as well. Used to be one of the few around who would take them into my office to use them. That’s the backstory. Still have all of these classic old Apple laptops as they were, but I’ll be ripped if I can stay up with the new stuff. You guys make entertaining and fun. Thanks again.

My iPad: don’t even try bro

0:54: yep. Then charger. Yep. The car. Yep.... TOO MANY YEEEEEPPPPPPSSSSSS!!!

How will I fix it if I only have 1percent left?

My problem is when my iPad won’t charge in my room outlet I have a charger plug with 2 USB ports where the plugs go and when I plug it in it won’t charge but with my phone it does but with my iPad it doesn’t I even hard restart it or force reset but I haven’t checked if it was dirty.

My ipad wont charge and its been like that for 3 months, I had a lot of good things on their including messages from my friends who moved ;(, Ive tried using other chargers and bought new ones, no charger works for me

0:35 I need help I did this 15 times IT’S GOING TO 5%

Hard reset did the trick! Thanks for this. iPad 2 still going strong ;)

My 2019 iPads charging port is damaged. It’s only 1 month old and my mom won’t fix it. Crying rn. :(

What should I do when the iPad is dead and it isn’t charging. It says it is by the battery symbol you see when it’s dead but I’ve waited for 15 minutes and it’s clearly not charging. Do I need a new iPad? Or a new charger? Can you help me?

Is this happening to anyone else? Next to the battery button when you plug your iPad in, it says “not charging”. ):

Great video! 1 minute into this video and I figured out the nightmare I was going through! I just had to do a hard reset. My iPad wouldn’t charge, it would stay at 1% then shutoff everyday for about a week until I saw this video! Thanks guys for uploading this info! Apple store really don’t want to help you fix anything..there way of fixing a problem is buy telling you, you need to buy a new one 😅

The charging symbol comes up but then it just wont charge!

I can't get my iPad Pro(purchased in March, 2019) to charge. I've tried different power outlets, my charging cord is like brand new right out of the box. The cable isn't damaged, bent, or even a bit dirty. The newer iPads have a C port for charging, etc. I've blown into all the openings on each end of the cord and AC adaptor and also used a soft toothbrush to clean it out. All openings look empty with no damage that I can see. I'm not able to plug a C into my laptop, and I only have the one charging cord that came with the iPad. Unfortunately, both ends of these new cords have a C connection which then plugs into the AC adaptor brick that then plugs into the wall. I don't have a dongle that converts a C to USB to try on my laptop or with another brick. My software is updated to version 13.4.1. I tried a hard reset holding the power and one of the volume buttons. I powered it off and back on and still nothing. The iPad doesn't show sign or make sound like anything's plugged into it. Other suggestions?? I'm now at 1% charge.

I have no lint, And I know it’s iPad. Because i charge my Phone with the same charger. I reset it and it hadn’t worked.

By guys, unfortunately this did not work for me. My parents to don’t have enough money to fix my iPad or buy a new one. So, this is the last comment from this iPad you will ever see. I am on 15% right now and this was my first ever device. Bye iPad. 2017 - 2021 Edit: It was the charger XD

My problem is that I charge it and while I charge it I play with it,but now....I charge it and instead of charging it takes the battery away plz someone help if this has happened to u and respond how u fixed it

Thank you very much! Cannot express my gratitude! I thought that the iPad was done for but I tried your method and it worked like a charm. Thank you Very very very very very Much.

It’s my charger. I’ve tried plugging in different cables and my charger won’t charge. I even tried different chargers. Ima reset my iPad

My 2024 heroes!!!! Thank you thank you and thank you sooooooo much!!!!!!

I did the reset, dfu, check my port and is fine. Looking at my cable color is really muddy and it’s not really white. I thinking is my charger. P.S: my ipad will charge but every hour it will stop charging (not charging) and is really wiggly.

Thanks this was really helpful! I already thought that the charger or the ipad itself was somehow damaged... Luckily a simple reset solved the issue!

GREAT INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO!!! Really well done. Kudos to these two guys

I cant charge if i just leave there but for some reason i need to bend a lighting cable to charge but for some reason it work ok but it for some reason i did the same but it wouldn’t charge no yay

Hello, I have a iPad that would not charge. It will not charged when it’s on. So I power it off and it charges perfectly. But recently when I power of the Apple logo would turn it back on. I have cleaned out the lint for the cord and the charging port. Do you know how to solve this?

Guys help my ipad still won't charge. My ipad only charge when its off and it's so slow to charge. this happen when my ipad drained and after that it wont chrage when its on. I hope u guys can help me with this problem if ur having the same problem we need the real way to fix this problem

My iPad says it’s charging but the battery keeps going down or it just stays in one number

I’ve tried everything but it loooks like I’m gonna need a repair and I’m at 4%... goodbye cruel world my rein has come to an end

THANK YOU!!!! THE FIRST METHOD WORKED FOR ME!!!

Bro I have a issue that i think you guys can solve it .Thr issue is I can't see my charging symbol while the screen is on and it charges when it switched off. I am not able to solve this problem, if you could it would help me a lot

what happens when i get the numbers that unlock my screen …? 🥺 nothing is working suddenly on my iPad, as soon as i bought a new phone. It’s not synched, either, the phone, so that’s different. It regents the software update.

My I-pad is saying it's charging and goes to the Apple screen, and then it makes the charging sound and opens up to my log in screen for a few seconds before showing the battery screen. Then it does it over and over. Even when I log in it switches right back. Can anybody help me with this? If so, thank you!!

This is bad my iPad is not charging even if I use another Apple charger!

This thing really giving me ads while I'm on 1%!!!

See,The thing is When my ipad dies it will charge but when it turns on,It wont work, Ive tried my moms my dads i got a new one i tried it in the car it didnt work, But everyh bodys else in my family there deivce chargers perfectly fine,what do i do

They said "hold it for longer than you think then keep holding it" and I thought yeah right and I finally saw my ipad turn on

Awesome advice! Just left the dapple Headquarters to buy a charging cord. They tried 4 different cords and told me that iPad Pro was not working, would cost $600 to replace the charging board. I said no thank you, came home dejected but decided to look up if anyone else has this problem. Came across your video, I did roll my eyes on the toothbrush trick but decided to try it! And guess what?? It worked!! Thank you so much and I’m definitely subscribing to you guys video!!! Love it!!

Wow, it really help me. Mine works with the toothbrush one. Thanks for this video

thank you so much i try and is work now just clean and put the charger and wait and is gonna work

My iPad won’t charge and I plugged it in like 70 times and nothing happened.

Thanks Guys, problem solved. I thought my ipad was broken. Never in a million years would I have thought that just by cleaning the charging socket would make my ipad charge again. Thanks again. Great video, very helpful indeed.
