Why Is My Ipad Not Charging Even Though Its Plugged In. If the iPad doesnt charge through the electrical outlet you may have a problem with the cable or the adapter. One of the most common reasons why an iPad experiences charging problems is because it was recently exposed to water or another liquid.
Remove any debris from the charging port on the bottom of your device then firmly plug your charging cable into your device. Because it appears to be doing so its almost certainly a software bug thats causing it to sporadically impact charging when its not supposed to. That liquid can permanently damage the connectors inside your iPads Lightning port making it impossible to charge.
Wait an hour while the battery charges then turn on the iPad.
If you see the lightning bolt on the battery meter you know the cable is working. Even if the iPad turns on it may be low on power so leave it charging for as long as possible or until the battery is fully charged. If its loose light movement or just sitting over time could cause it to power off. Remove any debris from the charging port on the bottom of your iPad then firmly plug your charging cable into your iPad.
