iPad shuts down as soon as removed from charging cable.

Hello,


My iPad mysteriously start to shut down even though the battery shows it is 100% charged. The power button won't turn it on and only comes to life after I plug in the charging cable, then I can use it as long as the charging cable I plugged in but as soon as I take out the charging cable it shuts down, sometimes in 4-5 seconds.


The iPad is 2 years old, is there a way to find out what exactly is the issue? is this the battery issue? OS issue?


please help

OK, I have done some more diagnoses, which basically meant that I tried to get my head around as to why my iPad which was working fine all of a sudden has developed this behaviour. Also I tried to contact Apple support via phone but couldn't get through to them.


So iPad as I said earlier works fine if connected to the power supply but shuts down soon after the cable is removed. However I have noticed that if an app is running e.g. currently the iPad is off the cable but I have angry birds app on and running then the iPad don't shutdown, it is actually when I switch apps or go to home screen or use the power or home button that iPads shuts down...


any thoughts guys?


The battery is also draining as usual while I run these apps. do you think it is a good idea to fully drain the battery, recharge full and see what happens?
