Ipad is a truly great device and my iPad2 is now my son’s best friend. He spends quite some time of the day surfing through mostly Youtube on this device.
Everything was going on smooth with my iPad2 when suddenly yesterday it stopped charging. And when I say it is not charging, I am saying it is “not charging” at all. So when I put in the charger with the iPad switched on, iPad would not charge. And then when I shutdown the iPad and put on the charger, the iPad would restart on its own.
The battery was at around 30% when I tried to put it on charging and encountered the problem.
Many people would think it to be the typical problem where, and strangely enough, a “Not Charging” notification would be shown beside the battery symbol while you put the iPad on charging. But even though it would show “Not Charging”, the iPad would actually be charging. No, this is not that same issue.
I tried searching couple of options over internet. When I first got this solution in the meantime the iPad battery was decreasing and was around 10%. A similar but different approach worked for me. Here is what I did:
STEP 1:
Remove the charge and switch of the iPad by pressing the sleep button for few seconds.

STEP 1:
Remove the charge and switch of the iPad by pressing the sleep button for few seconds.
STEP 2:
After the shutdown of the iPad has completed, put on the charger once again. The device is now expected to restart.
STEP 3:
Just when the Apple logo appears on the screen, hold the Sleep and Home buttons for few seconds to force reboot the device.
Again the device would try to start on its own. As soon the Apple logo would appear, hard reboot the iPad in a similar fashion. Do this for few times. I did this for some 15 times.
STEP 4:
After repeating the above step for quite a few times, let the iPad come up.
STEP 5:
When iPad has started and you can see the home screen, remove the charger
STEP 6:
Hold the Sleep button of the iPad for few seconds to again manually stop the iPad. When you have done this, after few seconds the home screen will go. The screen will be blank; but not yet completely switched off.
At this point, very quickly, put the charge back. After you have put back the charges, a small loading symbol appears before the screen goes completely dark.
STEP 7:
Now the iPad would no longer start up again even though it is put on charging.
STEP 8:
Keep the iPad plugged in this state for the desired time to charge it up.
If in between if you would need to start the iPad for some reason or just to check if it is at all charging, then you can repeat Step 6 above to put the device back on charging once again.
I hope this same approach would resolve your problem as well. Please do let me know if you found any other alternative approach.
