Not charged the iPad: the reasons and ways to eliminate them

Using gadgets around the clock, we often encounter unexpected problems that cause us anxiety and bewilderment. If this happened for the reason, for example, the fall of the device, then the question is clear, but what if the gadget stopped working without visible damage and failures? And, indeed, the situation from the category: "not charged ipad" often overtakes the lucky owners of tablets from Apple. The article gives examples of the most common cases. In addition, the ways to solve such problems are described.

Does not include the iPad: we are looking for the essence

Once your gadget stops responding to the inclusion button, it's worth to find out exactly what the problem is. There may be a software error or a depleted battery.

• If the iPad does not react to the power button in any way (the screen does not turn on, the indicators are not illuminated), then practically with 100% probability it is possible to make a conclusion about internal problems. In such situations it is necessary to find out what could have caused the device to malfunction: if this remains a mystery to you, you can try to return the tablet under warranty, if you dropped it, wet it, or left it to overheat in the sun, then you will be refused in the store or asked to pay money For repair.
• In case of problems with the operating system, the iPad reacts to touch on startup, and sometimes the download reaches the startup screen, reporting an error. Regardless of the specific error, the easiest method to solve the problem is to flip the device.
• Well, the last, quite common reason why the iPad does not turn on, is the problem with the charge of the tablet (the charger). Let us examine it in more detail.

Did not charge an iPad: what to do?

To begin with it is necessary to be convinced, that a problem in charging. If this is the case, then when you turn on the user will see a battery icon with a "lightning" on the display. Why can not I charge the tablet? There can be several reasons: the controller of a charge has failed, the port has broken, the charger itself has ceased to work or power is not enough.

• In the first case, you will not be able to cope on your own, so you should contact the manufacturer's company, the store where the device was purchased, or to the masters who can return the tablet to life.
• Affected by water or fire, the port is not repaired, but you can clean it if it hogs.
• The charger can be replaced, the main thing to clarify what exactly refused: the block or the wire.
• The lack of power is a fairly common problem that occurs in older generations of iPads (3, 4). The fact is that they have massive batteries for ~ 11,500 milliamperes, for charging which requires a higher voltage.

Types of chargers

Let's take a closer look at how to charge an iPad, what cable and block are needed specifically for your device.

Buying a tablet in the store, in the kit you will get a cable and a block, which are ideal for a brand new iPad, but what if at some point they went out of order? Or you did take the tablet from hand and now make desperate independent attempts to choose the right charger.

In fact, everything is much simpler than it seems at first glance. There are two types of Apple tablets: large (12.9 and 9.7 inches) and small (7.9 inches). Just need to take into account the operating conditions of the chargers for each.

Conditions for the operation of charging kits

• Large iPads are equipped with large batteries (more than 10 thousand milliampere / hours), so they often take 6-9 hours to charge. Therefore, do not panic if the gadget is not charged overnight - in this respect, the region is slow, and it is powered by special 12 W power supplies. Moreover, such a tablet will not be charged from a regular computer or laptop, since the power of these devices is not enough. Nevertheless, some modern models of Mac computers can provide enough energy to ten-inch tablets. This problem is present in the car, for example, to charge the tablet from the cigarette lighter, first you need to buy a converter (a device that raises the voltage).
• Small iPads received batteries more modestly (about 7,000 milliamps / hour), so they work without problems with ordinary 10 W blocks, the same as on the iPhone. Despite this, even such crumbs are experiencing problems when connecting to a computer (the energy either does not arrive, or grows very slowly).

Use of non-original chargers

As trivial as it may sound, Chinese cables and blocks mostly have problems. There can be several reasons for the failure: poor-quality assembly of the cord or power supply, difficulty in verifying the certificate (unoriginal charging for the iPad), weak power.

• The wire collected poorly is always a risk. The consumer buys a cat in a poke: the charger can be inactive or will work very little time, fail and damage the gadget itself - it all depends on the price of the wire. Cheap chargers can really be dangerous, both for phones / tablets, and for the health of the consumer, so do not save on purchasing the original or at least a certified analog.
• Consumers who bought non-original devices in the first hours faced with an almost insurmountable nuisance - an inscription on the scoreboard: "This cable is not certified, its work with this iPad is not guaranteed," and with this notification, the charging of the device stops. Why is this happening? The fact is that in connection with the increased accidents and problems due to poor-quality charge Apple tightened the system of checking the originality of those. The latest version of iOS does not allow non-genuine or uncertified cables to work. What to do? There are two options: either buy a suitable charge, or simply turn off your device (the current will flow, and the system will not be able to check the cord).
• The problem can arise both in the case of cable damage, and because of the block. Therefore, if your iPad is not charging from the outlet, you need to carefully check the characteristics and integrity of the charger kit.

Summarizing

If the original charging for the iPad is purchased, all the units are checked and replaced, but your tablet is distressed by both the operating time and the charging time, then it's time to think seriously about replacing the battery. Many users have been using their tablets for many years, exposing them to serious loads, while forgetting that lithium-ion batteries are subject to wear. This, of course, is the worst scenario.

In general, if one day you did not charge an iPad, this is not an excuse to get rid of it - it is quite possible that your case is directly connected to the charger and it will be enough to purchase a new one.
