Troubleshooting
Keyboard not responding
Ensure the Lightning cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the iPad. Verify that the iPad is powered on and unlocked. Try connecting to a different compatible iPad to rule out device-specific issues.
Some keys are not working
Check for any debris lodged under the keys. If the issue persists, inspect the keyboard for physical damage. For persistent issues, consider if the keyboard requires cleaning or if there might be an internal hardware problem.
