Has anybody experienced somthing like this?
A family member brought me an iPad Air 2 with absolutely no charge. If you press the Home button it just shows the drained battery image.
I've tried plugging it in a wall charger, a Mac USB port, a PC, etc... no luck.
In fact, it seems to be mocking me: if I plug it in the wall charger, it doesn't do anything. When I disconnect it, it briefly shows the battery icon and the "Lightning cable + lightning drawing" image, as if it were charging, like this.
iTunes doesn't detect it. However, I was able to put it in DFU mode. It was detected then and I was asked to restore and update it. While all the progress bars were showing I was really happy: it seemed my problems had gone away... but it was not so. After completing the updating, it still shows the same behavior.
Any tips? Things I could try?
Thanks in advance.
Update: Nevermind, after doing the restore via DFU mode I left it plugged it to the wall charger for a while and suddenly it woke up.
Update 2: The iPad is now in the "Hello screen", but it just shows 1% charge even 'though it at least detects when there is a cable plugged in. If I try to use it, it dies.
