My iPad ran out of battery, was on charging whole night but still showing the “need charging icon” when I plug in.. Sometimes (I don't know whats trigger it) it displays charging icon, charges for 5 min, boot up with 2% then it shuts down and then does the same thing again. Last time I tired pressing home and lock button to keep alive the charging icon about 50 mins, boot up and the same thing happened again.
I tried DFU, recovery and many more but can't enter..
Any recent method?
Tried this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25454333#25454333
Usual behaviour:
- Need charging icon while plugged in charging.
- After a while "Need charging icon" changes to "Charging icon"
- It starts booing, shuts down and display "Need charging icon"
And it's going on for a long time, I don't think the iPad could handle it if it really wasn’t charging…

Because you have already tries the classic things, I would suggest that you either:
Take a magnifying glass and inspect the inside of the charge port and look for and damaged pins/contacts. To test the battery, use a battery utility, such as [http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/|coconutBattery] (for Mac) or [http://www.3u.com/|3uTools] (for Windows). It will tell you what the health of the battery is. Anything less than 70% of design capacity will require replacement. Finally, if you have been using non-original charging bricks (especially cheapo car chargers), you may have damaged the charge circuit on the logic board. This can be repaired but requires micro-soldering.
