I’m not sure if this means you are using what was shipped with this iPad, or maybe are using what was used with a previous iPad or iPhone.
If the cable and charger that ships with the iPad is not working, then either the cable has failed, maybe debris*, or the iPad socket has failed. The cable is cheaper, and replacing that is the usual test. If a different cable also fails, then the iPad itself probably needs a repair. If so, use the Get Support link in the upper right of this webpage, and discuss your options and alternatives with Apple.
*If the cable you are using is USB-C and not Lightning, unplug it at both ends, and look for debris in the end of the USB-C cable, too.
In general…
Apple uses two connectors with iPad, Lightning, and USB-C.
The following have USB-C:
- iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation or later)
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation or later)
- iPad Air (4th generation or later)
- iPad mini (6th generation)
Other and older gear uses Lightning.
This cable has a Lightning connector, and a USB-C connector: About the Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable - Apple Support
If you’re using another charger and another cable, Apple ships the appropriate charger and cable with each iPad. Does that other charger and cable fit and work here?
