IPad 2 Wall Charger not working at my home only

This is a strange one.  I'm hoping someone has seen this and has a solution.  My iPad 2 will suddenly not charge when using the included wall charger but only at my home.  I took everything into Apple and the tech found everything in working order at the store (adapter and USB cable as well as the iPad itself).  He suggested I try different wall outlets at home (which I had). 
On my way home I tried what I thought was a long shot and plugged the wall adapter into a adapter I have that allows you to plug a 110 volt device into your cigarette lighter.  This worked and I was able to charge the iPad 2 on the way home.
I have tried a dozen outlets at home now and none of them work.  I read some posts about cold booting the iPad and tried that with no effect.  I also read posts about changing the order of plugging in the cables.  This hasn't changed my situitation.
This iPad 2 is only six weeks old.  I was ready to try purchasing a new wall adapter until it charged fine at the Apple store and in my car.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I don't want to have to drain my car battery or waste gas just to charge my iPad.

Update:  Apple support hadn't heard of anyone having this problem so I tried something else on my own.  I let the iPad2's battery run completely empty and then plugged tried charging it normally (using my home electrical outlet).  It worked!  My iPad2 is back to charging and working normally.  I'm still concerned that there is something wrong with the unit but I'll have to keep monitoring it.

  • IPhone 5c wall charger not working?

    I got the iPhone 5c yesterday and the wall charger is not working. The USB cable itself DOES work because I was able to sync/back it up with my computer and when I plugged it in with the iPad wall charger, the USB cable worked to charge my phone. I mean this piece is brand new out of the box. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue and if it's worth it to take the time to go back to Verizon to complain..?

    Sorry that this happened to you right out if the box. You can try to take it back to verizon I would say that all apple products are covered for one year. Because your iPhone 5C is under that warranty you can go to any Apple store and they will swap it out for free for a new one. Just let them know what's appended and they will do it willingly. Hope this helps

  • IPad 2 Charger Not Working

    Hi,
    My iPad 2 charger isn't working. It will charge just fine on a wall, but when I plug it into my Mac it doesn't do anything. I really wanted to download iOS 5 so this is a problem.

    It says it's not charging, but if you switch the screen off, apparently it will.
    Can't you just fully charge in the wall and then plug into the Mac?

  • AC Wall Charger not working

    Hi, This seemed to be the most appropriate place to post this...
    My AC wall charger has just stopped working all of a sudden. The ipod doesn't respond at all when connected to it (it was working fine for the last 7 months). Firstly, it is a firewire one, and i've checked the firewire cable by connecting it to the PC and it works fine. I've tried other wall sockets and it still doesn't work. I've also tried another ipod and still nothing.
    I got it included with the ipod mini from the refurbished ipods page last december.
    *Any suggestions on fixing it?*
    Also, do they have warrantys? I've noticed that it has a serial number on it but its not recognised on the page you use to report problems with the actual ipod.
    Any help is appreciated,
    Jads

    I doubt it has a warranty anymore. As to being repairable, it might be, but that is one of those things where if you are asking if it is repairable, you probably don't know enough about electronics to do the repair if you can repair it. I.e. do you have a multimeter to get in there and measure voltages to find the dead component?

  • IPad air charger not working?

    Bought on Friday, it's now Sunday evening,... Went to recharge the ipad Air with the original 12w plug and no sign of charging?
    Tried  the 10w ipad 2 plug with the new lighting cable and no sign of charging.
    Tried the same cable in ancient iPod Classic plug, and it worked... Plug got very warm so disconnected, but it did suggest it was charging.
    Did a hard system reboot, but no change.
    Any thoughts before I take it back to the shop???   Looking elsewhere.... It looks like I not the only one with this fault. Is there a recall on the way ?? :-(

    Hello,
    Same problem here. After some plug and unplug
    it started to work again .... But this is strange.
    Does your replacement works ?

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • My Ipad 2 is not working. Is not tuening On. I dont' know what's happening. I'm trying to turn on and I have no ansewr. Screen is out, nothing come to the screen.

    My Ipad 2 is not working. Is not turning On. I dont' know what's happening. I'm trying to turn it on and I have no answer. Screen is out, nothing come to the screen. Battery is ok at 60% charged when I turned off last time, and after minutes when I turned on, it not worked anymore. If somebody have an idea what may happenning, please let me know.

    I don't know what yu mean by "screen is out" but try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

  • Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6, help!

    Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6.  The little iPhone charger charges it very very slowly, but the charger gets really hot after a while.  I restored it and everything works but the charger.  It's only a few months old, should I try a new iPad wall charger block?

    Hi,
    I did this after reading the forums and it made no difference. it has actually charged from 14% to 67% but thats taken over 12 hours.
    Will monitor it and if no joy will go to a apple store
    Thanks

  • HT4623 My iPad mini is not working right ?? On some apps

    My iPad mini is not working right on some apps

    You can always try to reset your device and see if it helps matters any:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
