Burn smell

My iPad Air is smelling weird. It smells like smoke or a burning electrical fire. Every time it was on the charger it got really hot. Does anyone know what to do?

As described, your description suggests that your iPad battery has a fault or has been seriously damaged. Do not attempt to charge your iPad under any circumstances.


As a precaution, until you are able to take your iPad to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP), place your iPad someplace cool and dry - away from any flammable materials.
