Ipad on and off apple logo when charging. My screen is black when it isn’t charging.


There is this black screen in my ipad. when i connect it to the charger, it shows on and off apple logo. Apple logo appears for 5 seconds then back to black screen then it appears every after 8 seconds. The cycle goes on. When i try to force restart, nothing happens. When not connected to charger, complete black screen. Please tell me what to do. Thank you. I tried updating it with itunes and even tried to recovery but it says error. What can i do? I also tried charging it for over an hour but it is still a black screen when I unplug it from the charger. I’m trying dfu mode because I don’t care for the data on the iPad. iTunes isn’t showing me if it’s actually downloading the software. I haven’t used this iPad in a long time and it’s been dead for a while.

iPad (5th generation)

As described, your iPad battery may have reached the end of its usable life. If the battery has failed, the iPad will not successfully boot to a running state - even when connected to its Power Adapter:

iPad Repair & Service - Apple Support


These support pages should help with troubleshooting battery and charging issues:

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. Most models of iPad require a Power Adapter rated at 12W or greater to reliably charge. 5W Power Adapters intended for older models of iPhone are inadequate to charge an iPad; if the iPad charges at all, charging will be very slow.


Be aware that many computer USB ports cannot source sufficient power to charge an iPad. Unless explicitly designed for charging connected devices, computer USB ports are typically limited to 0.5-1A @5V (i.e., 2.5-5.0W).


If you continue to experience difficulties when using an appropriate Power Adapter of 12W or greater, you might be best advised to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively, if you have access to another Apple device, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad, Power Adapter and cable(s):
