    Hi guys

    iPad won't charge - think there may be an issue with the charger point connection as it won't charge.

    How much would I be looking at?

    Cheers

    Use your vacuum cleaner to suck out any debris. Worked a treat on my iphone.

    try a different cable - ideally a genuine one in good nick - and use the larger IPad 2Amp charger it came with (and not a compact IPhone charger).

    As the others suggest - if the cable wont go all the way in - make sure there is no fluf in the charging port - dont use anything metal to clean it out in case you short or scratch anything.

    “Roll it back”

    iPad Air port about 80. You need to change the speakers as well because it's all one part. But defiantly try a new cable first. Bring it to your nearst repair shop they'd give it a proper clean before even trying to repair. Generally it's just dirt as it's fairly hard to do any damage to the lightning port.
