HELP: iPad keeps turning off

Oh. So once a month! At least. Not all the time! You didn't say that.

You didn't say that.

Details, details!

The battery level indicator is known to be a bit "flakey" or innacurate at times. This is why Apple suggests that you let your iPad's battery drain completely until the unit shuts off then charge it back to 100%. Doing this is supposed to "recalibrate" the battery level indicator to give you more accurate readings... on a good day.

I have never done this. I thought I read on here, in one of my threads, actually, that you don't have to do this. In fact it was better not to.

Shitums.

I never let it drain completely ~ I don't wanna be stuck anywhere with just a little bit of juice left.

You're supposed to do that with any LiON device.

Umm...I am no iExpert but maybe...just maybe his battery contact with iPad somehow got loose,I mean I had an ancient cellphone with a loose battery,it would frequently go dead similar to his ipad,then I used a bit of paper to tighten the battery in its place,from then on it lost its lets go dead fever.I am not suggesting to do similar as ipad battery is non-replaceable by user but if that is the case then apple service is the right thing to seek for. I am just saying a possibility.

Hi all,

Quick update:

The device is actually restarting by itself after it shuts down...so it is rebooting constantly. This occurs even after I restore to 3.2.2 and continue to reboot when it is plugged in to USB or travel charger.

So I think this should be a hardware defect?

Thanks eeryone!
