Best of Luck to You!

How old is this iPad?

A little hard to help/advise you when you provide little to NO useful information about your iPad.

Here are my questions to you.

Can you, please, confirm what year and model iPad do you have/own?

The “A” model number can be found on the aluminium back of your iPad, in very small print, right under the larger bold print “iPad” on the back of the iPad.

What iOS/iPadOS version is this iPad, currently, running?

What is the rated, internal data storage space/capacity of your iPad model and how much of this free, internal data storage capacity is left inside of your iPad model?

All of that additional info can be found in the Settings app, General settings panel, About.

Also, have you tried other known good power/charging cables and other known good power/charging adapter blocks?

Either of these can fail at any time for any reason.

Please try to make an attempt to answer all questions asked.

Thank You.

When you try to start it, do you see the red section of the battery image flash three times and the screen goes blank?

It means it’s not receiving power to charge.

How long did you wait when you tried to charge it? A major drain could a take a few extra minutes. Especially, if all you are seeing is the battery logo.

If you have the OS up, you can check apps and see if something is putting a major drain on the battery. If you see the red section of the battery image flash three times and then the screen goes black, it means that the iPad is not receiving power to charge.

I have lost my USB port after an upgrade to IOS15. I have seen others report issues as well.

As Michael has mentioned, more info is needed.

Did you try a new cable as well?

A trick you can try. I upgraded to IOS15 and lost my USB port. I found for one thing; it would not charge with an apple cable and an apple charger. I did have an outlet with a USB port and plugged it in. It charged?!?! If you have one of those; you can give it a try.

There is the Genius Bar. Be prepared to hear “buy a new one” as they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with mine. It’s a Pro and only a couple years old. I am planning to take it to a “break/fix” guy and see if it has really failed versus apple did something. Their diagnostics showed everything was fine.

If the trick mentioned works, it’s not a permanent solution. Apple will tell you it’s not a good idea. I happen to have a Smart Keyboard and it has a charge plug and it works….

Try another known good power/charging cable, if you have one.

Like I stated, cables can fail, also.
