It would be whatever is plugged into the charging port. The other possibility is that something else is wrong and the iPad is just giving a misleading error message.


I would try a different cable. Also, try cleaning out the charging port. Under a bright light, with a magnifier, if you have one, use a non-conductive tool like a toothpick and remove any lint or other crud that may have gotten stuck in the port.
