Ipad Air

It might be dirty or broken.

To feel more comfortable, make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> Apple – Location Selector. After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.

(*) You can do it:

• Online:--> Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple;
• Contacting a local Apple Store or AASP among the list provided above;
• Using the "Apple Store" app, available and downloadable from AppStore.

Is it possible that others have experienced this same issue? Potentially, yes. Personally, I have not.

What exactly do you mean "stop working randomly?" What have you tried, so far, to resolve this yourself? Which exact model is your iPad Air?
