What To Do When Your Ipad Air Wont Charge. Second hand-dry your iPad as best you can with a soft microfiber towel. If it shows little to no charge it means something drained your battery.
If your iPhone or iPad wont charge one of the first and easiest things to try is a forced restart. Plug in your device and let it charge for up to one hour. Sometimes youll need to hold both buttons for as long as 20 30 seconds.
Let your iPad charge for another half hour.
To charge your first generation Apple Pencil remove the cap from the end of the Pencil revealing the Lightning connector. If the iPad doesnt boot up after a few seconds the battery is probably drained. If your iPad Pro is charging you only see the red battery. If it still wont charge keep everything the same but this time use a spare charging cable or borrow one from a friend.
