I can't charge my iPad. I've used different cables and different charge venues. Any ideas?

I can't charge my iPad and can't see what operating system it is because there isn't enough battery to get to the settings, etc. I've tried different cables, wall plug, computer. Nothing is working.

Inspect the charging port area for dirt/debris/fluff build-up that may be preventing a good connection and use a wooden toothpick, soft clean toothbrush, or a can of compressed air to clean it. Also look for bent or broken pins. Try another cable and/or charger block (be sure to always use a genuine Apple certified brand) in a known good outlet. If you're using a USB port, they don't have enough power to charge an iPad so go back to a wall outlet. If all these fail, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have the device evaluated.
