How do I charge the keyboard? When I plug it in nothing happens. If I turn it on while plugged in, the charging light comes on so I know the plug work

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.

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.

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...

I use the keyboard all the time. I charged it before use, the charged lasted literally for weeks. Wobbly connection sounds like a defective port (microusb). My connection was bluetooth.

The usb cable that comes with the keyboard plugs into the keyboard and your usb samsung tablet charger....plug into the wall outlet.....you cannot charge both (the tablet and keyboard) at the same time (in the wall outlet) unless you have an extra usb charger....go to settings turn your bluetooth on....push the link button that is on the keyboard (upper right hand corner)....give it a few seconds....should be good to go.....note : i have been pleased with the battery/charge life with this keyboard.....i use it with my samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 model GT-P5113

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.

The charging cable should have come in the box under a cardboard, rectangular slot next to where the keyboard was held. If the slot was empty when you rec'd the keyboard, you should return the product to Amazon for one that is complete. It will be an even exchange, but you will have to pay for shipping.

Plug the included cable into your desktop or laptop and have the bluetooth keyboard turned off. It should flash red that it is charging. It will take a while for the 1st charge to take. Just give it sometime.

A charging cord should have come packaged with the keyboard. It charges by being plugged in to a USB port.

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!

To charge the keyboard, place the usb port in your computer and the other port into your keyboard. When charged, the keyoard will connect wirelessly to you tablet.

mine was plug & play. I have to disconnect my tablet to charge it because the port on the keyboard does not work.

No you don't have to charge this keyboard. It draws its power from the Surface, and that isn't much. The backlit keys go dark when you're not using them and then light up at a touch, so most of the time the Type Cover 2 isn't drawing power at all.

Mine works perfectly, but I have to say the instructions for pairing were wrong. Don't recall what the problem was, but I resolved it fairly quick. The blue light on the keyboard comes on at the beginning when you turn the keyboard on, then quickly goes out. Make sure you've turned on Bluetooth in Settings (it then backlights on the drop down menu on the Home page. You can turn it on also on the drop down menu where the backlit icons are.).

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.

Have you assured that you turned on the power selection (see right side of keyboard) Go to the settings and verify that not only is the bluetooth on but connected. Also, make sure that the key board is charged.
