Why Does Ipad Say Not Charging When Plugged In. In some cases where the iPad has a marginal current supply the iPad will say Not Charging when the screen is on but when the screen goes dark it actually is charging. What should you do if your iPad wont charge.
It wont charge while the screen is on but it will charge. Its best to use the USB power adapter that came with your iPad. Once the debris is removed firmly plug the charging cable into the IPad.
If you plug it in with the 10W wall adapter it ships.
When I plug the iPad in to charge it actually says Not Charging where it would show a lightning bolt signifying that it is charging. In general iPad needs 10-Wat USB port while some USB 20 ports just provide 500 mA of power. The problem is the iPad shows the red empty battery with the lightning cable at the bottom. Then plug the cable into one of these power sources.
