iPad 2 problem whilst charging

I've used my iPad 2 for several months with no problems, now the touchscreen has gone ...weird.

The above paragraph was typed unplugged, the following is the same paragraph with the iPad connected to the charger:

I've used m,y. iPad 2 fair. Servers.l mown,ths wwtth no propbzlkemcs,z now the toquchhslcrten.
Hahs gonE .b.b.mzweird.

See what I mean? The touchscreen is registering touches all over the shop. The next paragraph is me just hitting backspace five timespueeoewwttrurre

...right.

Any of you come across this before? It's driving me nuts!

Done that already, RKO - it's second nature to an iPad owner :/

Damn, was hoping to avoid a trip to Apple.

Yes, it's the official one.

New cable, same charger - problem gone.

There you have it, folks - a worn cable can give your iPad epilepsy.
