iPad 9th gen won't charge with official USB-C cable

I have a genuine apple usb-c to lighting cable but it won’t charge my iPad 9th generation.

I am also using a genuine 20 watt power brick alongside with it.


Both the power brick and the cable are in mint condition.


iPad, iPadOS 26

Two things to try- does the cable charge other devices, but not your iPad? And can you charge your iPad with other USB-C cables, or does it not charge with any cable? That should at least give you an idea of with which item the problem lies.


If the faulty item is new, you can return it within 14 days for a full refund. Even if it isn't, you can claim service under warranty within a year of purchase.
