My iPad won’t charge or turn on. I’m using the same charging cable as when I bought it and have cleaned the charging port. It doesn’t want to do anything when I hold the home and lock button. Anyone got any suggestions?
iPad, iOS 10
Here’s what to do If your iPad won't charge
is possible that your USB has small tear that you can’t see. This happened once to me. I switched to different USB and this worked.
the reason your iPad won’t turn on - is probably in need of charge and has gone to 0% battery.

You didn't mention you tried different charger. Try plugging it into a different outlet. Give a few minutes then check if is charging.
Is the screen still black? If so, see what to do If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen
Just wanted to check. Good that you tried different outlets.
You're using iOS 10, right? This is iPad a 4th gen?
When was last time you used it?
Also when you held the home and lock button: Did you hold long enough? Sometimes it can take a little long, 30-40 seconds.
At this point, if your iPad still won’t power on or charge, take your iPad, charging cable, and charging adapter to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for evaluation. You can also contact Apple Support and see if they have any ideas.
Thanks for the help, but it’s been charging for over 3 hours and I have already tried a different charger.
Thank you. I have tried a different charger. Also what to do if iPad won’t turn on or screen is black. Any other suggestions would be gratefully received.
Yes I know you tried different charger. I suggest to you to plug into a different wall outlet.
Yeo. Done that too. Have been all over the house!
