Sounds like it could be dirt or dust in the connector area of the iPad. Try blowing that out with come compressed air and see if that helps

Like said above it is most likely dirt in the charging port. Canned air works best. If you have to pick any out be sure and do that with a plastic or wooden toothpic. DO NOT USE any metal objects to clean out the port. It has happened a few times to my iPhone and a good cleaning fixed it.

If you have any elec contact cleaner spray a little in there and take a toothbrush and scrub the contacts then hit it with the canned air if it's still not charging you may need a new batt.
