Charger PatriciaF said:. Click to expand DM51 iPF Noob. It's fine. So - no need to worry! Vintage90 Thanks for the update. I was getting worried and didn't my new iPad to blow up!
Now I can relax. Have a nice holiday weekend. PatriciaF said:. Hasty iPF Novice. Never looked under the desk to check it was alright. The iPad charger is essentially a transformer, which steps-up or steps-down the voltage between the socket and the device, and heat is normally generated as a by-product of this process. You should be worried only if the charger, for example, starts making a humming or buzzing sound which is a defect. That is normal.. As the OP has had her question answered and the age of this thread, it will now be closed.
Thank you for your understanding Plus heat rises, so unless you use your iPad while hanging upside down, the internal heat needs to build up to the point where the only place to vent is the bottom speaker vents and through the metal chassis. The ambient temperature conditions will affect internal components. Another thing that can result in an overheating iPad is your charger.
As we learned earlier, this heat has nowhere to dissipate, and now you have a cooked iPad. Do you play a lot of games on your iPad? Do you edit video or render graphics? Heck, do you binge on Netflix for hours at a time? If so, you could be causing processor exhaustion and the symptom is your iPad heating up. But it also lacks a dedicated GPU, which means the single processor onboard has to handle everything you throw at it.
That said, newer generation iPad Pros In pure performance, they outperform even standard desktop PCs. Which means no matter how powerful your iPad is, graphics-intensive tasks are a huge culprit for why your iPad is getting hot.
If you have one of these models, read below for an iPad air 2 overheating fix. The same fix works with all iPad models. YouTube videos take forever to buffer, your games become laggy, and Instagram is constantly refreshing.
The same thing happens on a computer that overheats. At the most basic level, the processor is trying to save itself. So it starts shutting down cores, and reduces draw from RAM, and does everything it can to slow down the amount of electricity powering through it. All of this translates into a crappy experience for you, the user.
Another thing the processor will do is dim the display. It will do this by shutting off some pixels, reducing power to others, and basically stopping the flow of energy through the entire chassis of your iPad. In order to cool off, it will reduce the flow of energy into the unit. That means your iPad will take longer to charge. The internal temperature is monitored and once the device exceeds a set operating temperature for an extended period of time the operating systems safeguard and lock all functions until it cools down.
But the bad news is you can damage your battery. Your lithium-ion battery can take a lot of punishment, but it has its limits. Believe it or not, but in most cases, you can cool down your iPad. Even better, you can stop your iPad from getting too hot. This should be common sense but sometimes you just want to have your tablet with you.
If you do need to bring it outside, keep it in the shade. You want the air outside the iPad to cool the iPad not add to its heat. Aside from that, there are other things you can do to cool it down. And remember, that processor gets hot! So if you notice your iPad is getting hot, close all the apps. Hot iPad charger wall adapter Ask Question. Asked 7 years, 4 months ago.

Graham Miln It'd be helpful if people who have both an iPad air , and a wattage meter supplied some actual values for standby power usage.
My old iPad v1 charger pulls 0. Good wall warts are like that. I'd be suspicious of anything that pulls enough juice to stay warm, much less hot when it's not doing anything. WayfaringStranger - best answer here: let's get the watt meter readings, rather than "it's normal" — tim. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.
Here's additional information broken down into bullet points: The amount of heat produced primarily depends on the size of the adapter, its charging capacity and its build quality there are other secondary factors as well. All power adapters have a "transformer" that first converts the high mains AC alternating current voltage, which would be V or V, to a much lower voltage, which is then converted to DC direct current and fed to the device.
An ideal transformer and power supply would not produce heat when nothing is consuming power on the other end. Reply I have this question too 86 I have this question too Me too 86 Me too. Question marked as Solved User profile for user: Skydiver Skydiver Answer: A: Answer: A: They all get hot.
