Q: Battery icon, no lightning bolt, not charging

For the last few hours, my iPad has had a black screen with a battery icon showing 4 red vertical lines.  There is no lightning bolt on the screen.  However, if I remove the plug, a lightning bolt and charger symbol appears - so the iPad knows when it's disconnected.  I've tried two different Apple chargers, two different outlets, and also the USB port on the back of my Mac.  I've done the Home/Sleep button thing about 10 times, to no avail.  It might even be worse now because the screen seems to flash between the white Apple logo, to a black screen, to the screen with the battery symbol and back to a black screen.  Every so often, my lock screen will pop up for a milisecond.  I've examined the connection at the bottom and I do not see any bent pins, lint or debris.  Nothing like this has happened to it before.

 

Any ideas?  I would really appreciate any help.  I've read through so many threads here, but haven't really seen anything quite like what's happening.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.2, iPad 3, Mac OS X 10.7.5
