Why Does My Ipad Say Not Charging When I Plug It In. Most likely the cause is a broken power adapter. The ports built into most desktops laptops and even powered USB hubs dont generate the 10.
You can consider other different scenarios when the message shows up. Clear out iPads charging port. Make all the reboot Windows jokes you want but sometimes bad bits get stuck and need to be flushed out.
Try cleaning the port.
Actually the difficulty isnt with the iPad but with the USB port. Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. The iPad Pro and Air have USB-C charging now as does everything from the Nintendo Switch to the Oculus Quest. Remove any debris from the charging port on the bottom of your device then firmly plug your charging cable into your device.
