Hello,
Have an old apple ipad and was wondering if this is a screen related issue or if logic board related? Is it even worth fixing?
Is this a good question?

Are you using the original adapter to try charging it ? The iPad needs a more powerful brick than an iPhone and might show such behavior when powered insufficiently. If it wasn’t used for a longer period of time with battery drained that might cause such issue too. However, unless it’s a matter of weak power brick, any further step would need to open up the iPad, test a new battery, test charging circuit and it’s going to cost some money and work.

Also computer does not recognize it when connected via USB.

I'm surprised to see the first gen iPad is still around :), not worth fixing at all. Spend the money on a refurbished iPad that can update to latest iOS.

@sammyz I do not fully agree, being the first iPad ever made if it's in good condition it may have and increase its amateur vintage value.

@arbaman vintage value? We all wish that were true ;-)

@mayer I never lose hope, if we'll get old enough one day or the other it will eventually be even antique ;)
