Check the charging cable
Look for wear, such as kinks or fraying, on the charging cable. Even if you don't see any obvious damage, try using a different cable to make sure that's not the problem.
Check your iPad's charging brick
If the charging cable appears to be working, you may have a problem with the charging brick (also known as the power adapter).

If your iPad isn't working with the supplied brick, try connecting it to a different power source, such as another charging brick or a USB port on your computer.
