Problem description
Certain models of the iPad can develop an issue where they will stop charging while fully booted but will still charge while powered off.
Symptoms
- iPad pulls full amperage when the charger is plugged in (approximately 2.3 amps) then drops to zero amps when fully booted.
- Disconnecting the charger while at full amperage then replugging shows zero amps.
- Device automatically boots when the battery is attached.
Solution
This issue is almost always caused by a faulty PMIC. Replacing the PMIC corrects the issue a majority of the time.
