I got a new Bluetooth keyboard, thinking that the keyboard was the problem, however it is actually the iPad Bluetooth that quit working. Is there anything I can do, or am I out of luck? I tried restarts with no success, the iPad will not connect to the keyboard.

Try a soft reset/reboot, you won't lose any data. Press the home button and sleep/wake button down simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, then release both buttons. Wait a moment until the iPad reboots.
Thank you for the idea, but Bluetooth still refuses to connect with the keyboard. I think the Bluetooth feature is broken.
Sandra,
Sounds like it may be kaput. But, make sure Bluetooth did not get turned off inadverdently by going into "settings" and tapping on Bluetooth and making sure that the Bluetooth switch is toggled ON. In fact, if it is on,try turning it off, then back on -- it can't hurt.
this fixed my problem fully - many thanks. I have two bluetooth keyboards not working anymore - so I knew it is not the keyboard; and funny enough the keys for speaker off/on etc (top row on the keyboard) were all WORKING, while the QWERTY keyboard was not.
No 'forget' or reconnect or bluetooth switchin on or off etc helped - just the cold reset of the ipad did it.
Gracias
My Bluetooth keyboard quit working on my iPad.
