Check the port for dirt and debris. Try another cable to make sure it’s not cable related as well.

You should seriously consider buying a new lightning cable if it really is broken.

Cable pins are flush-mounted so he must be talking about the female connector receptacle.

Yes I am talking about the female port the port on the iPad.

Has the port been abused somehow, such as forcing the cable plug incorrectly. Or using the wrong cable or a counterfeit with incorrect plug? Maybe try raising or straightening the pins?

Do you have Applecare or is it under warranty? I had problems with the male connecter on my iPad. Applecare replaced the iPad.

Can you raise or bend the pins?
