Battery charging is tooooo slow

My iPad is showing a new behavior when connected to be charged.
It all started when I used it till the battery crashed to zero.
When I try to charge it normally as I always do, the following symptoms showed
1- the charging icon does not display the charging logo
2- the charging audio notification is not played
3- the charging in progress black battery logo with the red stripe is not displayed anymore
4- the charging speed has become extremely slow, it is 1% per hour!!
can anyone advise what happened and how can I go back to the usual charging behavior?

Thanks Ahmad

I did exactly that; it turned out to be fruitful.
An IT corner repair shop took it off me after assuring me that similar cases came by and they managed them successfully, I left them the unit, one day later, BINGO, they called me to collect my iPad.
They warned me initially that there might be some scratches on the outer metal frame but nothing visible is seen.
They say the fault was in the connector piece, you know the socket where the flat plug goes into, that was the problem, they say it had been replaced.
Charges little less than $ 100.
All is safe now and we're back as good as new.
Thank you for the support.
