When the USB cord is attached to the keyboard a red light comes on, then after a few minutes it goes off. What does this mean?

The red light stays on the entire time it's charging. It turns off when it's done. I had an issue where it wasn't charging and the red light would go on and off, but that ended up being my usb port.

Keyboard battery is charging when red light is on. When it goes off it is charged. If it goes off after just a few minutes it probably wasn't discharged very much to begin with.

It shows that the power is successfully connected. It goes out but never lets you know when fully charged. Sorry, I just let it go for a few hours.

The light is suppose to turn on automatically when your computer is on and the keyboard is connected . If light doesn't turn on then that means the keyboard is probably defective, hope this helps

I would check to see if the software installed, change your USB port, and if none of that works the keyboard may be defective. Usually it is a software conflict. I wish you the best of luck.

I don't believe there is an indicator when the keyboard is about to need recharging. It just stops working! Thankfully it charges relatively quickly.

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!

There is a small light on the keyboard that lights up while charging but my keyboard is not backlit.

Yes, you should see the red light when you press a button. It took me a bit of tinkering with it, I had the same issue. It's pretty cheap, I just kept messing with it. Remove batteries put em back in, slap it around a little. I also could only get it to work in just one of my USB ports. Sorry couldn't be more help.

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.

JoAnn the device comes with a black cord & on the side near the on/off keyboard switch is a plug in like you use for computers-slide it in this slot and you will see the red light come on the device as a sign it is charging. Hope this helps (:

Check to see if any particles is embedded between the keyboard. You can turn it upside down and flat hand pat the back if the keyboard while holding it up in the air. Might be a particle of a key is stuck. Lastly ...take out the usb chip and give Iit 5mins and reconnect.

It could be that the keyboard needs to be charged. Yesterday I had the same problem, after I charged the keyboard it connected again with no problem.

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.

Yup, lights come on, batteries are decent. Red warning light means it's time to charge... but I can't seen to turn off keyboard sounds when using this... strange because it should

Try putting it in different usb ports. Sometimes it just needs to be plugged in a few times or plugged in for a longer period of time to be recognized that it is there. Also, you could try to shut down your machine and start it back up with the keyboard plugged in. Hope this helps.

I've had the same issue. I started turning off the keyboard when not in use and it reconnects when I turn it back on. That's definitely not the best solution but it has worked ok for me. I don't know if you we're having the same exact issue, mine typically did this after it was dormant a minute or so.

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.

Although my keyboard worked perfect from the start,sounds like yours is defective. I would return it if i were you. Sorry you had a bad experience.
