It was charging too slow. Why does not it charge anymore?

Hello,

I'd this 1st gen 3G IPad. It was normal until the last month. It suddenly began too slow charging - 20-30%/overnight. I have changed cable, wall adapter. They did not work. Then found this website problem might be caused dock connector or battery.

I opened the case and removed dock connector & logic board. Then I connected a controlled external power supply to batteries in order to charge them externally. I did charge them till morning. And left them for another day in order to ensure if batteries were dead. Batteries are fine. I serached and found dock connector, then replaced it. Result was same; too slow charging.

Now it does not charge anymore. I connect the cable, I see battery icon w/ red. But it does not turn into green and I get 'doesn't charge' message near the battery icon.

But if I leave unit connected to charge, a few hours later I see charge percentage has been increased 1-2%

-Do I need any calibration for battery after this dock conn. replacement?

-Do I have to re-install sw system? (Did anyone solve in that way?)

-Is the only way to replace logic board? (Did anyone solve in that way?)

Thank you in advance.

Kindly,

Taner

Dear guys,

Thank you for your interest and helping me. After too much struggling, I found the solution finally. Of course not now, just a few weeks later since my question :) And once again; I have learned my lesson that 'Trust never hinders the control, control never hinders the trust!' The reason was really stupid, and thinking how I have missed out this. The problem was being caused by wall adapter. :/ The one I have tried was low power (low current) and I didn't check since I trusted in guy whom I have bought from. I have found real one with high current and problem was solved.
