Camera Connection Kit not supported by iPad 2, any ideas?

Hello! I got an iPad 2 (WiFi + GSM) and a genuine Apple Camera Connection Kit.

When I connect the adapter to the iPad it says "This accessory is not supported by iPad".

The message appears when I connect the CCK by itself, with no SD or USB device connected, and the same happens connecting it with some device installed.

Simply ignoring this error message doesn't solve the problem, it doesn't work after ignore this message.

iPad port is not damaged, works properly charging and connecting it to my computer.

I have no covers or any kind of protector.

Both adaptors of the CCK had been tested on others iPads 2 and the CCK works OK.

My iPad iOS is 6.1.3, I tryed restoring it fully from iTunes and it doesn't solve the problem.

iPad battery charge is always full and it has a lot of free disk space.

I tryed with generics 5in1, 2in1 and others CCK and no one works on my iPad (they work on my friends iPad).

Any ideas?

Have you tried to reset your ipad when you have the issue? Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Beyond that, the only thing I can think of is that there may be issues with the port on your iPad.

You look like you've ruled out issues with the CCK since it works on other devices. But none of them work on yours, which suggests that the pin(s) that handle data communication have been compromised in some way.

I tryed reseting and didn't work.

I thought about pins, but I don't think CCK uses pins that aren't used in other data transfers when I connect it to a computer. I mean if other data transfers works, why not this? I don't think CCK uses "special" pins.

Thanks for your time trying to help with this.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I've already tryed restoring it, and in the only one Apple Store from my country seems to don't know too much more about this issue, but a technician told me it doesn't seems to be a hard problem.

I think I will have to simply sell it and buy a new iPad.

Thanks all.
