Did your keyboard come with power cord? I can't get mine to pair with my iPad but thinking because need to fully charge key board first?

Nope it did not. I use a blackberry charger. Any of the small micro usb chargers should work. I have tried a couple and have had no issues. Good thing is that it does have a pretty decent battery life.

Keyboard and ipad should be charged up, on the first pairing. Followed the instructions from online. Don't remember but I assume it came with a cord; but I also use my Samsung S4 USB A to B cord. Now with a Jackery Bar(a rechargeable brick w/ USB A2B cord), I don't have to make certain it's charged before school.

It came with a USB cable. In general any micro USB cable that works with android phones should work on this. It is sometimes tricky to pair. But if you see it in the discovery list of blue-tooth devices, it should be straightforward.

The battery for the keyboard lasted a few months for me. But, it did not come with a charger. I think it uses the newest iPad charger. I have the older iPad two charger so it doesn't fit.

I don't remember if it was fully charged or not, but it was enough for me to sync it up with my iPAD. You need a Micro USB cable to charge the keyboard.

Did you receive a short black cable with a USB connector on one end? The other end goes into a small slot on the right of the keyboard and you need to plug the USB end either into a computer or a charger that plugs into an electrical outlet. The keyboard does not charge while the iPad is charging. If you did not receive the charging cable, contact the seller.

Don't know if this is going to help or not. I dont remember getting a manual. All I did was make sure the keyboard was charged up, then go into settings on my iPad, then Bluetooth, make sure Bluetooth is on and find/connect the keyboard. Good luck

It appears the backlighting is disabled (no light even pressing the 'sun' symbol) until the keyboard is paired with the ipad although the keyboard has been turned on & before pairing the devices? Please confirm if this's defective? Thank you.

I have had no issues connecting, after initial setup the keyboard turns on automatically when in connect the side magnets of the iPad just past the row of function keys (a blue light above the delete key indicates the keyboard is active and connected)

Amazon, how much will you pay me to research something that should be directed to the manufacture. However, for what it worth Dorothy D. Stout, I would try changing the power cord first. If you don't have a second cord to try, go to your mobile phone store and ask them to check your cord. Other than that, I have no idea. I just gave mine to a co-worker because I found that didn't use the keyboard.

Have you assured that you turned on the power selection (see right side of keyboard)Go to the settings and verify that not only is the bluetooth on but connected. Also, make sure that the key board is charged.

I have an iPad 1, and it didn't work for me. I had the keyboard charged, it was all plugged in appropriately, per the directions, I even had someone else verify that I'd done it all correctly (a PhD chemist!), and still, no joy!

There isn't a connect button. It connects to your iPad via Bluetooth. So You'll want to turn the keyboard on via the tiny switch on the right side. Then go to Bluetooth in the settings and the iPad should locate the keyboard. If it doesn't connect easily you may want to charge the keyboard for a while. I didn't need to charge it to connect but I could of just got lucky. Hope that helps!

No, the connection between keyboard and iPad is via blue tooth. Need to charge both separately with their individual chargers.

The charging cord that you use for your i pad is what will also charge the keyboard. Charge your i pad first then disconnect the i pad and use that same charging cord on the keyboard.I have two i pad charging cords so I use one to charge the keyboard and the other for the i pad, I have a i pad 3 if you have the i pad 4 you will have to get a charging cord that is used for the i pad 3 or i pad2 as you need the one with 30 pin which the i pad 4 does not use. The 30 pin charging cords cost about 7 dollars. Hope this helps you out with your question.

Yes Adam, you should have received a cord that connects to a power supply. I got that when I purchased the cover. I love the keyboard...it really is so close to a real keyboard!! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Contact the seller to let them know.

Mine works perfectly, but I have to say the instructions for pairing were wrong. Don't recall what the problem was, but I resolved it fairly quick. The blue light on the keyboard comes on at the beginning when you turn the keyboard on, then quickly goes out. Make sure you've turned on Bluetooth in Settings (it then backlights on the drop down menu on the Home page. You can turn it on also on the drop down menu where the backlit icons are.).

There is a power switch on the keyboard face above the delete key. Consult the instructions. If there isn't a cord for charging, then likely you have been shipped someone else's return. It utilizes a micro USB cord.
