FAQ

• How can I tell if it’s the keyboard or the iPad?

  Bring both. We test the keyboard on our bench iPad; if it works, your iPad's Smart Connector is the fault. If it doesn't work, the keyboard itself needs Apple service (Magic Keyboard repairs go through Apple - we don't service those).

• Why does humidity damage the Smart Connector?

• Will Bluetooth keyboards still work if Smart Connector is broken?

• Can you repair the Smart Connector on the keyboard side too?

• Does this work on Smart Keyboard Folio too?
