Burn smell
My iPad Air is smelling weird. It smells like smoke or a burning electrical fire. Every time it was on the charger it got really hot. Does anyone know what to do?

As described, your description suggests that your iPad battery has a fault or has been seriously damaged. Do not attempt to charge your iPad under any circumstances.
As a precaution, until you are able to take your iPad to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP), place your iPad someplace cool and dry - away from any flammable materials.

I would turn off the iPad and take it to the nearest apple store. (Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple)
Your iPad's internal battery could be dangerous so I would take to a apple store.
Ok. I will today thank you!
