I will try to be brief. Been given an iPad by a family member did full reset and did so another couple of times because I had problems with signing in with my Apple ID (see below). All of a sudden, the charger won't work in it. When I plug it in the battery icon doesn't show it is charging...

Thanks, so if I did that I should be okay? I know Apple products aren't as susceptible to malware as Windows and Android but I was wondering if that could be a problem with the public network?
