Hi all,
I have an iPad4 that has suddenly decided not to charge anymore. I know the charger is working/good as it charges my iPhone (and I have multiple chargers)
I have restored the iPad and have also changed the charging port but it will still not charge.
Odd things to note are the following:-
1. I have a picture of a red empty battery, with a lightning sign and cable but when I plug in the lightning lead, the picture of the lightning sign and the cable disappears. However, it does not charge the iPad. This means it detects that I have plugged in the cable but does not charge.
2. I can restore my device with a USB cable connected to iTunes, so the cable seems to be good
3. once I restored my iPad, the charge wen tup to 12% and I re-set up my iPad. I though it was fixed but it slowly counted down from 12% despite me trying 3 different cables and chargers (note that the lightning/charging icon appeared initially but after about 2 mins, went off and would not come back on.
4. A brand new charging port did not make any difference
5. When the iPad was working at 12% it behaved normally, with the exception of not charging.
6. I have left the charger in overnight but still get the empty red battery icon in the morning
Do you think it may be worth changing the internal batteries ?
It is well out of warranty and not sure what Apple would do to help ?
Is there anything else I can try ?
Any advice appreciated
Cheers
TK
