How can I tell the power level of the keyboard's charge on this?

There is not indicator, but the power last for so long.. One time charged for two hours will last for about one month or more with 2 hours daily use 5 days a week(not weekends).

Mine works correctly as well, so you should contact customer service.BTW there is no charging involved with this keyboard.

There is a micro USB connector on the right side of the keyboard, you need to plug in the charger there.

I know it has back-lit keyboard when it's plugged into power source. Couple of times when I used the computer powered by battery only, I noticed that the backlighting did not come on.

Ok, this is a guess (my keyboard only drained once so far). I had the same experience, so trusting the light to be truthful, I assumed the device only charges when it is switched on. Given I had used laptops in the stone age that only charged when turned on, I thought nothing of it at the time. This is not a high spec device, so there is no charging feedback other than the single light. Best of luck.

It was charged when it arrived. In fact, I have never put any effort into charging it. I just leave it with the solar panel facing up whenever I close it, and it has always been ready to use. It uses either the natural light or the light from a lamp to charge. I am very happy with this keyboard!

My keyboard is lit whenever my motherboard had power. You may need to contact the company for an rma for a bad keyboard.

Key board doesn't charge itself when connected, make sure you use the USB cable that came with the unit to charge the keyboard.

The only thing would be either a 110V A/C adapter or a 12volt DC adapter for the USB cord. You could also charge the keyboard from a USB port on your computer.

If you mean light indicator, yes. If the keyboard is charged it is one of the lights on the top.

I think you must have an issue with your keyboard. I've had mine for a few weeks now and I use the keyboard all the time, have even left it on overnight and I've not charged it since the initial charge.

I'm afraid I purchased this keyboard some time ago. From memory I think it was partly charged. I would suggest your item is faulty - you might want to try another charging cable before giving up.

Well, we know that the voltage is 12v DC @ 1.5 amps for the keyboard. But I wouldn't try it. How many amps are coming from the battery? If it matches and the wiring is center pin positive, I then can see no problem.

No problem! I'll try to do some more testing tonight, but so far I've only tried charging the tablet itself. The only way I was able to verify that it charged was to make note of the battery life before plugging it in, then check the numerical status after 20 minutes. During that time, my battery widget showed an increase from 94% to 97%. I'm not sure if the keyboard dock needs the full 2 A to set off the LED charging indicator (since that's what the OEM AC adapter ouputs) but I'll try it out tonight and report back.

Had mine for about 3 months, charged it about half-dozen times. System Preference has an icon when you load up the Logitech Software that will indicate how low the battery is. IIRC that software will also tell you, if you forget, to recharge it. I simply plug mine into the USB port on the keyboard, and continue to use but a couple hours later it's all good. I got mine at half the price of Apple's and most pleased. Took the Magic Pad back.

As you look at the picture of the keyboard, the bottom right is where you see the "on/off" switch. Just to the right of that, along the right edge, is the usb connection for charging. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure, but I turn off keyboard when I am not using the keyboard. I charged it up overnight when I first got it. I have had for now 2 weeks and it still has a charge. I have not recharged the keyboard yet. I hope this helps
