Note: If you don't have another cable handy to try, or a voltmeter to test the cable, try the "tongue buzz test": hold the end of the cable which connects to the device to your tongue & feel for the "buzz" (with the adapter plugged in). Similar to the 9v battery-test-buzz, but 45% weaker. No buzz = bad cable. If your cable is ok make sure you try a "forced restart": pressing both the home & power/reset buttons at the same time for 5-10 seconds. Good luck!
Thank you. My first gen touch was stuck on the red battery and lightning bolt. I touched the cord to my tongue as you suggested, nothing. Then I kind of licked the end of the cord, must have cleaned it, started to tingle, plugged it in, and the touch started up and I'm back in business, thank you!
Hi my lightening bolt still on using a friends charger so why won't my apple ipad still charge?
For me it says it's working and charging but i've been waiting for an hour now and it hasn't even lit up to 1% yet...
MaverickTheNoob1112 same...
MaverickTheNoob1112 Hi I used a folded a piece of white paper in half and put the male connector between it and rub it until there is no more black residue! It does not damage the gold connectors. Also clean the female the same just fold it about 8 times into a point! Great for getting out lint and polishing contacts! Also will not do any damage.
Same im starting too get pissed
tea I have the easy way lmao 🤣 put ur iPad on the heater and it really works subscribe me please if it works for u 11-10-19

Thanks for sparing me the cost of a new iPad. I got a new Anker charging cable and wall plug from Amazon and have had no more problems.
Thank u sooooo much!!! I watched your video Friday I just got my iPad mini & it was not charging blinking but I just got that charger you was talking about on Amazon it's working!!!
Thank you. It helped alot.
I really hope you're right! I have a gen.6 ipod touch. I've had it about 3 months and haven't gotten used to it yet, so either today or tomorrow I'm taking it to best buy and have them check this cable to see why I open it, in the center of the screen is the itunes icon and below is a picture similar to what you show of a charger to indicate it needs charging. I'm not a kid, I'm nearly 60, but we are spending a couple of weeks with our son and his family which includes a 4 year old and a 1 year old. I thought my cables were always fine, but I went through different chargers and still no power, just the same icons. I will let you know.
You know how with old gaming systems you blow into the game itself to get the dust out?
Yeah I did that with the charging hole and it’s now working fine
Very informative video. Thank you.
Thank you! I am not an apple user but just recently got an apple product and didn't know why it did not charge. Very helpful
Righteous!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
thank you
I tried the cable and the charger from my IPhone and it works there, but not with the IPad 4, it does the same as the one you are showing . The cable is damage so I'm not sure what to do. I read somewhere that the IPad does not charge the same with an old IPhone cable. I think my first option would be to buy a new cable, which would you recommend? for an IPad 4. I think this should be my first option before I send it for service. Do you think this might be my problem? I think I can get it at Best Buy or Walmart. Thank you for your video, I spend most of my day searching for this info. Great video and excellent presentation.
Hi mimejormusica. And thank you for the feedback! Are they both lightning-cable -compatible devices? If so, the only difference should be the amperage rating. They should charge interchangeably, albeit at differing rates. If you are definitely getting a new charger, make sure you get one that is power-rated for your iPad. So, you want like a minimum of 12 watts and up to 30 watts. The devices wont take more current than they need and can accept. The standard iPhone charger I think is in the 5 watt range, and will take a long time to charge the iPad. My charger is still the stock iPad one, which is 12watts, but I got that ruggedized Anker cable as insurance against my kids :P
Thank you for your response. I shut off the IPad as you explained on your video but nothing happened, the same battery with the red 1%, this time no lightning bolt, I did it again this morning the same, just left it with the old cable plug in.This afternoon I went to Best Buy and got the new certify charger but when I went to switch them, to my surprise it was charging at 36%! I couldn't believe it, now is almost done. Than you so much maybe I push it harder and/or longer, but it was worth it. I live in Panama City Fl and there is no Apple service I would have to drive to Pensacola the nearest place. Thank you so much, keep your great videos
Right on, right on... It could be a loose connection where the cable goes into the connector, like what I experienced on this one. You will have to just monitor it & hopefully it continues to work. When my cable went out, we sometimes observed that it was not charging, but next time it would charge fine, and then not, and so on until one day it just went kaput! Good luck! PS - PC is awesome... Living in SoCal now & miss those sugar-sand beaches & warm water!
Spring is here and all the spring breakers with it. Time to get the garden in shape. I don't live close to the beach but the bay, my sister does, so I can visit when I want some sun and the long nice walks.
mimejormusica your bug 12
20 bug reset your ipads
My iPad won't charge even with brand new cables I had to suspend my iPad mini in the air hanging from its cable and then it would charge but now it wow charge even from that any ideas on what I can do?
thanks for help
OMG ur the best it totally worked!!! Tysm
what ,com you find that pls hlep me to that to
Where did you buy the wire the red wire the think you for helping me to fecs my iPad think
Its on Amazon here: geni.us/DKse So far, this cable is still holding up very well despite my 5-year-old's destructive tendencies :)
Earlier there was a little zap tingy on the screen but whrn i cleaned it it wasnt there anymore help
That could be a good thing. If you cleaned the connector and the "zap" symbol went away when you plugged it in - it may now be getting the charge. But if it charges a while & still doesn't boot, you should try a a "forced restart": pressing both the home & power/reset buttons at the same time for 5-10 seconds.
A view issues with the iPhone that won't charge. It could be a battery issue, having no charge, try a different cable, did you drop your phone or damage the inside of the connector, water damage, or is it that you tried to fix it yourself and damaged the phone itself?
Not sure I understand your question. Or maybe it was more rhetorical? This particular case was explained at the end of the video. The cable was stretched out to where the internal connections of the cable were broken. Nothing readily visible to the eye, but if you look very closely you can see how much it was stretched.
what net that you show
For me it was the cable. so i bent the cable and its charging now..Thank you
Every single video tells me the same exact thing - I know all the basic easy fixes. However, I do appreciate the fact that you actually tested with a meter. Unfortunately I have a dead black screen 1st gen 12” iPad Pro and at this point I will most likely have to disassemble and replace battery. But it’s literally the last component so you have to remove EVERYTHING. But my fear is that the battery is not the issue.
According to apple it will be $500 - without any real preliminary testing. After further inspection of the charging port, it looks like pin 2 from the right may have shorted. I obviously can’t put my meter into the port, but... it might just be a shadow!!! Extremely frustrating and it’s even worse that every video says “the REAL way to fix a dead iPad” - and it’s the same basic steps.
Thank you for actually diving into the issue from a technical perspective rather than reading steps online and making a 10 min video about basic solutions that every apple user should already know.
Thank YOU for the thoughtful feedback. For your issue, its not the focus of this video, but I presume you have tried the "forced restart" thing by now. The only way I would spend 5 hundo to try & repair it is if I had critical data locked in, and even then I would try to find a reputable 3rd party data recovery person for less. Just get a new(er) one for that much. But I'm surprised they didn't offer to just look at it for free. Might still be worth going in just to see if you get any useful feedback from someone. Maybe go very early or some other time when its slow & they are bored. If you think the port may have shorts, and you felt it was important to find our for sure, you could sacrifice a lightning cable, stick it in there & split out the wires to test for shorts. Good luck!
It was actually free for me so I’m not really concerned about it - I already have 2 MacBook Pros that I rebuilt but I’ve always wanted to own an iPad Pro, simply for the pencil. My father got the device as a gift when it first came out and the issue happened when it was just out if warranty.
And if you’re wondering, trade-in value at the apple store was a whopping $0. But hey, they’ll go soo far out of their way to recycle it for me. AKA refurbish and sell for $500.
They took my iPad Air 2 for $160 a few months ago - but they just assume the consumer is dumb! Even if they couldn’t repair the iPad Pro the parts alone would be nearly $500 (if there’s no serious internal damage) plus it has the 12” screen.
I love Apple products, especially around 2008-2012ish - so so sooo easy to upgrade/replace components - but the way they operate, as it relates to customer service and pricing, will be their demise.
@@zfreshh Heh.. funny you should mention... I actually have 2 2011 MBPs going.. using a 15" one right now. I think there is still a lot of Steve Jobs in the designs of that era. But Apple actually broke the Nvidia interface for these laptops with their OS "upgrades" in recent years, so now I have to use the CPU for graphics or the OS will crash. Kinda tells the whole story right there. I don't think Steve Jobs woulda let the SW fly out the door without proper testing including regression on older devices. My thoughts are similar - they still make good stuff, but they have lost their overall vision mojo in a number of ways.
I have to apply pressure to my charger to charge my iPad do u know how can I stop it?
I found my iPad Mini in my room and it had 6% on it and then it died shortly after, then I tried plugging it in and it says it's not charging. I have tried cleaning both the charging port and the charging cable and nothing works. I also tried using various different chargers and that didn't work either. Any suggestions? (The screen works and it still shows that it's not charging.)
NIKKI G same 😭
Me too what work for you
Michelle Richardson I went to the apple store and they said it would cost more to fix the charging port than to get a new iPad since it was such an old generation so I bought a refurbished new iPad for $200
can someone help! my iPad is not plugged in yet the white thing is not showing up..when i plug t in it doesn't show up which is normal but it doesnt charge :(
Looool wtfff i thought my ipas was broken but it was completely fine so when there is not a lightning thing its charging right?
You should fix my problem:
When I charge, it charges.
When I charge again, it doesn’t charge.
it. charges. twice.
i like it
My iPad is in the same situation . I wish you had shown how anchor charges an iPad . Its it an advt.
What if the battery logo does not show up and it also does not want to charge plsss help meee
Hey man really loved this video , I had just bought a mint condition I pad from a buy and sell site. The guy was super nice and I bought a 32 gb gold 2017 I pad off him for around 300$, when I took it home it was at 74% charge and the battery life was incredible. But when it came down to about 30% I decided I’d charge it. So I take the charger out plug it in and find out that it doesn’t even charge at all. I have this I pad supposedly under Apple care for a year. I’m starting to wonder weather it is the I pad that’s broken or malfunctioning or the charger itself. To further things I have a charger for my I phone 6 which has the same USB port but the only difference is that the I pad’s adapter charger has that portable pins that pop out and you can put em right in the socket compared to the I phone charger device only have a simple pin. Anyways. I plugged the I phone6’s charger in the I pad and the charging worked but it was super duper slow. I recognized that I pad’s charger are much more powerful compared to i phones chargers in terms of voltage differences so they charge accordingly. At this point I am still kind of confused on weather I need a new charger or a new I pad
Well since you got it to the charging state, your iPad would seem to be ok. In this video, I didn't get into the power supply adapters ("chargers") much, but its important to understand the combination of the charger and the cable represent 2 possible points of failure. In your case, it sounds like you may have had a bad cable. If the original cable & charger are one combined unit, then you probably need both. If there is a USB socket on your charger, then perhaps just a new cable would do you. The chargers all work at the same volts, its the current supplying capacity that varies & more current (and therefore watts) will mean faster charges (up to a point). 12w-30w is the iPad charger range.
My iPod 5 is not charging and my home button is jammed so I cannot forgo with a “forced restart”. Occasionally it will charge and turn on but then it will die being unable to charge again. My charger is fine and works on my iPhone, and my iPod recognizes the charger being inserted. The problem is that when the charger is inserted, the battery doesn’t fill at all. Please help me
HI Iggy. If your home button is stuck, you should be able to just hold the other button on the top to try the forced restart. If nothing happens there & you are sure your cable & charger are good, then check to make sure the lightning cable port on the iPod is clean. If that checks out, you can try to plug it into a computer with iTunes & do a Restore. But I think the stuck home button is a problem... I actually had one get partially stuck (had to press it really hard). Try this: dip a cotton swap into alcohol, then push the home button in as far as you can without breaking it & run that swap all the way around it several times - then release the button & press & release over & over to get the alcohol to penetrate. Then let it dry & see what you got - if that doesn't get it going, you may need to try the first few steps of a screen replacement procedure to get it it to free it up.
Thank you. The problem with my iPad is that it won't turn on. I tried charging it but the charge sign does not appear but apple logo kept on appearing, on and off. What could be the problem? Please help. Thank you.
I assume you tried the:"forced restart": pressing both the home & power/reset buttons at the same time for 5-10 seconds? If so & no dice, it could be a boot failure. In this case, you may need to do a restore using iTunes or alternate methods.
My charger works on my iPhone 6s and doesn’t work with the iPad. Tried cleaning it with a cotton swab and then a clean old toothbrush. Not functioning
so i’m trying to charge my ipod 5th generation, when i plug in the charger to my iphone 6 it charges perfectly but when i plug it into the ipod it shows the screen you’re referring to. i don’t know what’s wrong with the ipod but it won’t charge
It sounds like you have eliminated the charger and cable. I would say next to check the port on the ipod... it could have dust or fuzz or even be oxidized. If its clean, try rubbing the port with a q-tip with alcohol or vinegar. Also make sure you tried the "forced restart" thing.
okay so it’s charging but it keeps unchanging like if i move it slightly
@@jeweleighann Yeah corrosion in the port prolly, since the same cable doesn't do it with your other Apple device. Best thing is to get some electrical contact cleaner & spray it on a qtip or pipe cleaner & rub it in & out a bunch. Vinegar is like poor man's contact cleaner. Don't use too much of either because you don't want it seeping into the device. You could use an eraser if you could get to the contacts, but I doubt you can without disassembly. Also try unplugging the adapter, and wetting the contacts on the cable with some cleaner & plugging it in & out a bunch, wiping it clean periodically. Maybe a couple dozen times. It should shine up the contacts eventually.
When i was at home playing with my moms Ipad I Rage so i always Smack It Then I Charged It And It Didnt Work So I Watch This And It Actually Worked
Haha dumbass
It charges when I completely turn off the device, and turn it back on.
Equilia same but when i open it it doesnt work :(
Blossom Cotton same
Bought new apple cable. Plugged in an apple macbook. Cleaned the port. Still not charging.. never had a problem charging then i put in a drawer and stopped using it a couple months and now it wont work
kd, have you already tried a "forced restart": pressing both the home & power/reset buttons at the same time for 5-10 seconds? If your problem is NOT caused by a bad cable, then this MAY work. If you have the same symptom as what I showed in he video, try sticking the end of the cable to your tongue & checking for the 5v bzzzt. If you feel the buzz on your tongue, its not the cable / adapter. If you don't feel it - try a different cable / adapter.
need the net pls hlep me
My iPad lost the ability to charge a while ago, it won't charge. I'm trying to figure out how to factory reset it without having to turn it on or charge it. Can you help me?
I think it needs some power to do pretty much anything. You can try the iTunes method, in case its getting some power, but not displaying any indications.
Hey dude my iPad is broken when I charged it it's fine but the problem is my battery is only 2 percent!!! It won't go up! Help me man!
Does it turn on? If it turns on and charges only to 2%, I would guess you are having some hardware failure like the battery or the charging control circuit. In that situation you'd need to take to it an Apple geek and see what they can offer you. Or you could try a third party repair guy if you can find one. But I'd still want to first try a different charge adapter and/or cable if you have them or have a friend with them- since its such an easy test.
@@grokshop ok thanks for the advice I will try to repair my iPad. 😣
We are the same
I watch tones and tones of vids and non of them work yet
first my phone switched off then my iPhone 5s not turn on m just plugged charged in phone then my phone battery logo gone m try to reboot but my phone is not turn on plz help me sir
Hi Rajender. If you have no battery logo showing, it could still be the same issue. If your battery is completely drained, it would not be able to produce enough energy to power the screen. Have you tried another lightning cable? If that doesn't work, try the "forced restart" as described on the Apple help page: "On an iPhone 6s and earlier, iPad, or iPod touch: Press and hold both the Home and the Top (or Side) buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo." It is also possible that you have had an internal device failure.
The Grok Shop sorry i try it but not working
I tried cleaning my charger but when I plug it in my iPad my iPad stills says not charging :(
same!
Same here!
@@teijariilovestoplayroblox7743 that was my problem it turned out it wasnt the port it was the hardware i had to get a new one i had insurance so i didnt have to pay but PLEASE backup your ipad monthly r every 2 weeks or you could lose everything like me :(
Mines not working for my iPad Air
Turns out my charger was dirty only on pin five XD
Um, Lets see where do I start. Basically, it occurred yesterday, I went camping for like 2 days and forgot to bring my Ipod with me. The day I came back from camping, I found my ipod and it wasn't on charge, so I started charging it. After that, a few minutes after I see the low battery thing pop up on my screen and my charger always works, ya know? after a few times, it still wouldn't charge and I tried to power it on, but it wouldn't work. What should I do?, and I tried all this guy told me, but it still wouldn't work, HALP MEHHH, its DA only thing i have as an actual device, and I cant give up on it now..
Alina, have you already tried a "forced restart": pressing both the home & power/reset buttons at the same time for 5-10 seconds? If your problem is NOT caused by a bad cable, then this MAY work. If you have the same symptom as what I showed in he video, try sticking the end of the cable to your tongue & checking for the 5v bzzzt.

There's one thing I have to say to you...
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH
Omg I actually tried what you replied to me and it worked..
Thank you so so so much
Your a life saver!!!
how did you fix it tell me its happening to me in 2019 october 2nd
Hello thank you for the video but I have a problem I'm ten years old and my parents already bought Me like 3 iPad mini4 chargers and i told my parents that It would not work and soo I'm rlly disappointed I also have a pink iPad charger but it also does not work and my iPad is dead is there anything I can do ??😭
Hi Edith... the mini 4 I beleive comes with a 10watt 2.1amp USB power adapter (charger) & USB to lightining cable adapter. Chances are that the power adapter is ok. So, if you have already tried different cables AND made sure you connector jack are clean & free of debris, you can try the press & hold of both the home & power/lock buttons. I have seen this trick work, but the display was blank and not showing the image of the battery & lightning connector like shown in this video. If that doesn't work, take it to an Apple store if you can. Don't give up!
The Grok Shop thank you I will try to take it to the Apple store thanks again
Edith Maldonad same I’ve had my iPad Air for 3 years and now it’s not chargering
So lightning bolt means its not charging and No lightning bolt means it is?
Yeah... makes total sense, right?
my battery from the screen is blinking what does that mean?
According to this: discussions.apple.com/thread/5741038 the blinking battery symptom could be just a poor connection. They advise cleaning the port & cable contacts to test that possibility. Worth a shot.
The Grok Shop Hey thanks for the reply I just found out it was the device that was broken thanks anyways!
Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Well OK it's likely helpful to others to know your outcome. So, thanks for following up on it!
I went looking at all these videos and the problem was it wasn't pluged in right,omg im dumb af.
its my iPad having problem charging!!!!!!!!!!!!! my lighting cable and is just doing fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK that's great that you have isolated your issue to your iPad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately, this video is primarily targeted at the hard-to-detect cable failure. For cases where you are certain your cable is fine, check out some other videos for more ideas there. Pressing the Home & Reset/Power buttons simultaneously has bailed me out of that situation before, so make sure you have tried that, as well as verifying your cable port on the iPad is clean. Good luck!
@@grokshop I love this response xD
خوينا هذيه وش الي يقول
its not the charger problem it charges my sister phone ! but mine is somehow not charging
My iPad will charge but when it’s on and 1% it stops charging
Well guess what. My iPad won't even show a battery logo
pls hlep
*FiRsT tRiLlIoN dOlLaR cOmPaNy*
Omg omg omg this worked this is the way it worked for me:
So, I was soooooooo worried that my iPad was broken at first but I was like, “hmm maybe if I take a look at the thing at the end of the charging cable where you plug it in you device” and I took a look and I saw dryed up slime pieces on the little plug and omg I was relaxed when I found out that my iPad wasn’t broken it just had dryed up slime pieces on it. I hope this helped PLEASE look carefully at you cable,the little plug in piece, and your device plug in thing. Bye!

Hi RJ.. its called "Nightrise" by Jens East. There's an iTunes link in the desc now too if u use that ecosystem. Cheers! :O)
The Grok Shop thanks!
sorry I don't have one
Bad,apple charging cable. BAD charging cable!.
My iPhone cant charge and wont turn on...its already 5hour charging and cant too...and stuck at black screen (wont turn on)...help?..me???🤕🤕
Hi Farish. For blank screens when trying to turn on, I've had some luck with pressing both the home & power/reset buttons at the same time for 5-10 seconds.
The Grok Shop wow what you saidm..reset..?!is it mean all data just like a game or file...is gone...wow.so cool
Edit:what about cant charge?
Its called "forced restart" & does not delete apps & data. If you check the Apple link in the description, that page has more information. I think you should have it plugged in for best chance of success, in case the battery is dead. You need to get past the black screen to find out if it will take a charge or not.
