How can you tell when the keyboard is fully charged? What is the LED indicator light supposed to look like?

The "LED indicator" is just a little light under a tiny panel under the on/off switch. On mine, a blue light comes on when it needs a charge. When I plug it in, a little red light comes on. When it's done, it goes out. Here's the thing, though; the keyboard sleeps when not in use for a couple of minutes extending the battery life for so long that I have only charged mine twiceand one of those two times was when I first received it. The battery life is incredible.

It lights red when the unit is first plugged in with the USB charging cord. It stays illuminated red until the unit is charged. Then it goes out. So when the unit is charged the charging led extinguishes.

The light glows red when the charging cable is plugged in and providing power. Specs on the device indicate that it takes up to 4.5 hours to charge and will last 90 hours between charges. I have never had the keyboard stop working, let alone stop working due to a charging issue.

I've had mine for just a month, and the red charging light turns off after about 2 minutes. But that doesn't seem to matter much because the keyboard has never stopped working. So maybe the red light isn't supposed to stay all the time while it's charging???

The keyboard is not lighted except for a small light on the right upper side to tell you it's on.

Try using an identical charger to see if it will charge then. If it still doesn't take a charge u can assume it's the keyboard and not the cord. Maybe a 1 year manufacturer warranty...

Kah, I was under the impression that a fully charged keyboard was good for 3 months. It sounds like your keyboard may have bit the dust. From Dell's website:Powered by light* Charges itself whenever there's light, even desk-lamp light* Stays charged for at least three months in total darkness* Eliminates the need for keyboard batteries, power bricks and USB power cables

I've had mine for months, use it nearly every day, and haven't needed to charge the keyboard yet. Perhaps it's because I just turn off the keyboard every time I close the lid. See if that prolongs your battery life, unless of course you already are.

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

I may not have exactly the same keyboard, but the green light on mine lights up briefly when the on/off button is depressed. It only stays on for about three seconds.

It needs some time to fully charge. Make sure the USB cable you are using works and let it charge for several hours. Try to charge it via USB from a computer with the computer turned on and then test the keyboard. If it is not working try charging it with the computer turned off. If it is still not working contact the service.

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.

I have only charged my keyboard occasionally. After the initial charge, by connecting the cable to any USB port on your computer, it has a fairly long operating time. I hope this helps.

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

Plug in the usb cable into the keyboard and inot a computer that is turned on. Wait for the light to change color or go off. If the keyboard is low on power, it has taken mine 4 hours to recharge..

I have not yet discovered the end of the battery. I recently used the keyboard for 4hrs 7 mins straight, and it seemed to be fine. I could not tell if it was low on power reserve! It is a great little keyboard with a big keyboard feel. I highly recommend it. By the way it only works when connected vi bluetooth or maybe USB cable. SO little power is used until keystrokes are made.

The keyboard should be off and the red light should stay on until charged completely.

Mine charged overnite. Do you get a blue light when your keyboard is turned on?

Yeah there is. If this laptop is been using without any lights on, it will have bright purple(?) light on the keyboard. It looks beautiful honestly.
