    Hi Guys,

    issue again with my iPad, its fully up to date, in perfect condition, only 9 months old and it won't take a charge,

    Plug it in and nothing, don't know whats wrong, tried to knock it off but when its plugged in it just starts back up again right away, so it knows the charger is plugged it just won't charge.

    Any advice or help would be great.

    Had the same problem with an iPhone 5. Apple replaced it.

    Call AppleCare, have your serial number ready and let them know of the issue. If you can restore and set up as new just to have that out of the way, then the lads can set up the service for you.

    Have you tried using a different charger and cable just to rule out the lightning connection being faulty. I had that issue on an iPad mini a while back and changing the charge cable fixed it.

    yes had all that done, only 20 percent left so didn't want to loose anything, is it the same thing that happened yours?

    Went to apple Belfast yesterday and they are replacing my iPad under Warrenty.
    They didn't have a 128 gig in stock but it came in today.
    Will it be replaced by the same 4th gen or will it be a iPad air??
    If so do they have same sim cards to go in air as 4th gen?

    Cheers

    They'll replace it with exactly the same model.
