Has anybody got any ideas. I turn on my keyboard and even though it is fully charged it turns its self off after about 5 seconds?

Then something is wrong with the unit assuming when you plug in other devices through the same input they work

Mine has never done that. battery power lasts a long time. Once and a while the keyboard gets quirky but it comes back when i shut down and boot up again. check for settings. when the keyboard icon is up at the bottom right of you screen it should work. The icon is near the time and wifi icons.

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.

Larry, was the unit charged up? There is a port on the keyboard's side near the on/off switch (switch should be in the on position) and the blue light should be on so keyboard can communicate with notepad....good luck..if no blue light, keyboard must be off or not charged...Kev.

I had the same problem. It seems to work for me if I turn the power off in-between each use--meaning when I'm done working I turn it off and then turn it back on when I'm ready to use again. I've found that I need to do this if I have not used the keyboard for longer than an hour. Additionally, I always need to do this if I move my laptop to another room and then bring it back to my desk. This is an unfortunate problem because I really like the keyboard, except for this problem. BTW, I purchased the Bluetooth Sculpt Mouse at the same time, and I've never been able to get it to connect properly for longer than a few minutes. I had the same problem.

I believe I have the galaxi 4, on the problem asked about; are you sure the keyboard has a full charge? Also, in the settings, after the keyboard is paired there is a check box designating the keyboard as the input device, make sire it is checked. I sometime have to do that to get my keyboard to work.

My keyboard works just fine without being plugged into USB. There is an ON/OFF switch that has to be turned to the ON position, but that's all.

Plug the cable into the keyboard and a USB port on your computer. Leave the keyboard off but your computer on. Had no problems with mine. Let it charge overnight.

The keyboard charged overnight for me. It appeared to be off when I first tried to use it, but in actuality it was on.. There is no indicator light to let you know that it is on. I looked on line to get instructions for pairing the keyboard to my Samsung tablet, follwed the directions and it worked fine. Your keyboard probably has plenty of power.

Are you leaving the keyboard on/off switch on all the time? This will cause your battery to drain faster than if you turned the switch off when not using the keyboard. You are not really giving me enough information to give you a better answer. I haven't had this problem, but I always turn the on/off switch to the off position when I'm not using the keyboard.

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

Did you try charging it up as you charge your ipad....connect the keyboard at the same time as you as charging. I did not get a manual either. Sorry I can't be more help to you.

I do not know the answer to your question. However I have never turned the switch off and have never had a problem with the charge on the keyboard.

Try charging it - the keyboard, not the ipad. That happened to me. Let it charge for a few hours and it should start working again.

When not used for 5 min, the key board gets disconnected from the tab. It gets activated in few seconds after tapping on any key. Not sure, if yhis can be really called sleep/wake. This anyway doesnt save the battery of the tab, as it continuously searches for bluetooth devices, till it goes to sleep. But, I did not charge my keyboard for more than 5 days of conyinuously "ON" position, with approximately 90 minutes of daily usage.

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.

Hi, the keyboard is back lit. The battery life is reasonably good just over a couple of hours.
