Bonus tips: how to back up ipad data to the computer before ipad fix
No matter you want to restore or repair your iPad to fix the iPad not charging on PC issue, you need to make a backup at the very beginning if you don’t want any data loss. Here, we recommend the most reliable and iOS data transfer tool — EaseUS MobiMover to you to export all your iPad data to the computer in one-click.
Step 1. Connect your iPad to your computer with a USB cable. Launch EaseUS MobiMover on your computer, and select the «Phone to PC» mode, which helps you export iPad data to the computer. Move your mouse to the right pane and click «Next» to start.
Step 2. MobiMover allows you to transfer all the iPad data to the computer at one time at a fast speed. You can also select Contact, Messages, Note, Photo, Video, or Audio individually. You can change the default destination for exported files on your computer.
Step 3. Wait for a while to let the transfer process finish. Please don’t disconnect the iPad while transferring. When the process finishes, you can check the items on your computer.
Don’t use cables that aren’t mfi-certified!
As a quick aside, I’d like to warn about the dangers of using Lightning cables that aren’t MFi-certified. These are the types of cheap cables you’ll typically find at your local convenience store or gas station. These cables generally aren’t MFi-certified, which means they haven’t conformed to Apple’s standards of a high-quality Lightning cable.
Since these cables are lower quality, they can sometimes overheat and damage the internal components of your iPad. You’ll know if a cable is damaged or not MFi-certified when your iPhone, iPad, or iPod says “This Accessory May Not Be Supported” after you plug it in.
In short, always use MFi-certified cables when charging your iPad!
Hard reset your ipad
The first thing to try when your iPad is not charging is a hard reset. It’s possible that your iPad’s software has completely crashed, turning the display black and leaving your iPad unresponsive. If this is the case for your iPad, a hard reset would temporarily fix the software crash.
How do i clean out an ipad charging port?
We always recommend using an anti-static brush to clean out the charging port of an iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Cleaning your iPad with a device that can conduct electricity could damage the internal components of your iPad. Anti-static brushes don’t conduct electricity, which is why we recommend them!
Most people don’t have an anti-static brush lying around, but a brand new toothbrush makes an excellent substitution. Gently brush out what’s inside the port, then try charging your iPad again. You may be surprised by how much debris comes out!
Make sure your ipad is within standard operating temperatures
iPads are designed to operate between 32–95º Fahrenheit. When your iPad is too hot or too cold, it may stop functioning normally. Among other things, your iPad’s display may become black, and charging can slow or stop completely.
Put your iPad in a cool environment to bring it back to standard operating temperatures. Avoid putting your iPad directly in the sun. When your iPad is back within standard operating temperatures, try charging it again. Check out our other article for more tips if your iPad is getting hot.
Perform a dfu restore
If you’ve made it this far, you’ve ruled out the possibility of a minor software crash, an issue with your charger or charging cable, and a dirty or clogged charging port. We still have one last trick up our sleeve: the DFU restore.
A DFU restore erases all the code on your iPad and restores it to factory defaults. Ultimately, a DFU restore can fix a very deep software problem, which could be the reason why your iPad is not charging.
Repairing your ipad
Unfortunately, not every iPad that won’t charge can be fixed with a series of software troubleshooting steps. Sometimes you have to get your iPad repaired.
One of the most common reasons why an iPad experiences charging problems is because it was recently exposed to water or another liquid. That liquid can permanently damage the connectors inside your iPad’s charging port, making it impossible to charge.
If you have to get your iPad repaired, we recommend doing so through Apple. Apple provides support in-person, online, and through the mail. Make sure to schedule an appointment if you plan to go into your local Apple Store. Without an appointment, you could spend a lot of time standing around!
Taking charge
Your iPad is charging again! Next time your iPad won’t charge, you’ll know exactly how to fix the problem. Don’t forget to share this article on social media, or leave us a comment down below to let us know the reason why your iPad was not charging.
What if my ipad won’t charge past 1%?
If your iPad is not charging past 1%, you may be using a charger that’s just too weak. Make sure you’re using the wall charger that came with your iPad. If you’re already using the charger your iPad came with, follow the step-by-step guide below to diagnose and fix the problem!
Why is my ipad not charging?
When an iPad won’t charge, there’s a problem with one of the four parts that work together to charge your iPad. Those four components are:
- Your iPad’s software (iPadOS).
- Your iPad charger.
- Your Lightning cable.
- Your iPad’s charging port.
This article will help you identify exactly which component is causing your iPad’s charging problem and show you how to fix it for good!
