How can I charge the picture keyboard as I thought it would charge when the iPad was charge but, doesn't seem to be the case as the iPad is fully charge but the keyboard is now completely dead? I'm understanding that it should be a way to charge which I didn't get the instructions or I'm just clueless on how to use or it simply broke after 6 weeks of the purchase.

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.

You mean for charging the tablet? Well the keyboard, you don't need a charger for it. Just plug it into the bottom of the tablet, and to charge it, you use the tablet charger. The keyboard has a slot for that to connect to by the way.

The keyboard needs to be turned on also. You'll find the switch around the bottom right corner of the keyboard. I think the 1st time I turned it on, it may have asked me if I wanted it synced to the tablet but can't remember for sure. If not, then you might need to go into the settings to get it to sync/connect with your tablet. I use mine very seldom so I keep it turned off so it doesn't run down the rechargeable battery. Yes it needs charged up too occasionally. So far I have not had to charge mine up yet.Hope this helps direct you to where you need to go to connect the items together.

I am thinking that it charges once docked from your iPad. I gave it away as a gift but when I set it up all seemed to have all parts and work well once docked. If I learn more from the gifted owner, I will share more.

You have to charge your keyboard first for about 3 hours, you can use the mini end of the nook charger. It will not charge from the nook it has to be charged by itself.Then make sure that you Bluetooth and WiFi are both turned on in the nook settingsthen plug in you keyboard and you will see the keyboard connect. It will show on thesettings. It works beautiful on my grandsons NookHD the other one I sent back as it was broken. My grandson loves his.

Charging cord comes with it. Just plug into keyboard and into ipad charger. Charging is good and stays charged long.

I have charged my keyboard maybe once since I got it in January- Its very infrequent and we use it OFTEN. Good luck with your decision.

Like most things electronic anymore, the instructions are only online. But the direct answer to your question is the button should be slid to where you see green. But before you use it you should plug the power cord into a usb jack over night to charge the battery. They are shipped with only a partial charge. Once it's charged you won't need to recharge it for a couple months or so (or when the little light on the face of the keyboard above the delete key turns red.) There is a procedure for linking the keyboard to the iPad called discovering. This procedure is at the following website &lt;http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/tablet-keyboard-ipad?crid=1110&gt; I hope this helps you get started. The combination of an iPad and the Logitech keyboard is a great tool, and fun to use. However, you'll find yourself reaching for the 'mouse'. RFM

There is a USB cable accompanying the case. Provide an initial charge to the keyboard by plugging into the keyboard and the USB into any Powered USB port. The packaging for the charging cable is provided with the item.

Hi Ron, The first thing I would do is make sure the keyboard is fully charged. If the red light is on then you need to recharge the keyboard. If the light is blue (charged) I would make sure the bluetooth feature is enabled. You would do that by checking your settings. Once those two things are working properly you should be able to use it again if it worked before. Good luck with that!

You use the cable that came with keyboard with any USB charger, such as the one that came with your iPad. Or you plug into any powered USB port on a computer or USB hub. I find that the keyboard only needs to be charged for a few hours every two weeks or so, and works great on its internal batteries the rest of the time. You never have to shut it off, it powers down when it isn't used for a minute or so,

look carefully on the side of the keyboard (edge) . there is a mini-usb port that can be used to charge it. It charges in pretty much less than an hour.

Suzannah, I wondered the same thing. As far as I can tell the light comes on at first on both occasions but then shuts off. I mentioned this in my review there should be some indicators showing keyboard on, charging or needs charging. I also found that if there is a small lapse of time in typing, the keyboard goes to sleep and it takes 3 to 5 seconds to reconnect.

I do think it lights up while charging. It does not stay lit while in use. If you are having difficulty, charge the keyboard overnight and re-sync it in the morning by turning on the blue-tooth on iPad and keyboard. Press the tiny black button on the keyboard next to the Bluetooth On switch. Your iPad should then recognize the device! Hope this helps. :)

iPads seem to have a life of their own. I have had that happen to me also. My advice is to check your Wi-Fi. When mine has locked up, just bringing it nearer the computer unlocked the iPad and keyboard. Another thing to know is that the keyboard is blue toothed to the iPad and both need to be charged. When the iPad gets low on charge, the keyboard locks up or does not turn on. If neither of these help, call Apple. They are wonderful at Technical Support and have always solved my problems/issues.
