If your iPad Pro battery is not charging, try restarting your device, checking the charging cable and port for damage, and updating your iPad to the latest software. If the issue persists, reset your iPad’s battery calibration or visit an Apple Store for further assistance.
## Step-by-Step Guide
To troubleshoot the issue, follow these steps:
1. **Restart your iPad**: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the “Slide to Power Off” slider appears. Slide it to the right to turn off your iPad, then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until the Apple logo appears.
2. **Check the charging cable and port**: Inspect the charging cable for any signs of damage or fraying. Try using a different charging cable to rule out any issues. Also, check the charging port on your iPad for dust, dirt, or debris. Clean the port gently with a soft brush or cloth.
