This may have bbeen cover before, forgive me if it has. I just got my iPad about 2 months ago. I love it, however in the last 2 weeks it will not charge or will only charge in sleep mode and if it will actually charge in sleep mode it charge it VERY SLOWLY if at all. I have never had problems with it til now. I don't understand, it will not even charge hooked up to my laptop. urgh!!! I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or if I need some sort of different charger or what? I used my nieces charger and it did the same thing, but it would charge hers fine. So I am guessing it something with my iPad. Just wanted to see if anyone else is having the same issues or have in the past.
