I’ve only had my iPad mini for a few months, and I’m already having issues with charging. Some days it just will not charge. Beyond frustrated.

Why the **** won’t this thing charge? Outlet is working and I’m using the charger that came with the device. Frustrating…..

iPad mini 5, iPadOS 14

If you are having difficulties with charging your iPad, consider that the problem may be with the Power Adapter, cable, or iPad. These support pages should help with troubleshooting:


Charge and monitor the iPad battery - Apple Support

If your iPad won't charge – Apple Support


Troubleshooting generally requires substitution of the Power Adapter and cable for another known-good item.


You might be well advised to have your iPad, Power Adapter and cable tested at your local Apple Store:

Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple
