Try another cable. That will be your answer. If its a bad cable, Genius Bar will exchange it.

Or your local Best Buy should have iPad mini's on display. Same cord. Maybe try that.

Some new cables I bought did that at first but after unplugging in and out it started working and have had no issues since
