iOS7 iPad Belkin Keyboard - Not Working

I have a Belkin iPad Bluetooth Keyboard Case.

Keyboard Folio Model #: F5L114:

After updating my iPad to iOS7 the only keystroke/button that works is the "Keyboard" button which will toggle the on screen keyboard on and off. Attempting to repair the keyboard accomplished nothing, however I did learn that when prompted to enter the bluetooth 4 digit code for pairing the keyboard was able to send the 4 numerical digits and striking the return key did succesfully pair the keyboard to the iPad again.

At this time I have no solution to getting the keyboard to be responsive with the iPad. If anyone has a solution for this please speak up, if not Apple please help- The Belkin "Customer Support" pages/contacts are horrible for this. There is no assistance to be had at Belkin at this time.

One more solution if all others above-mentioned haven't helped you out:

Holding either of these key combinations for more than five (5) seconds will clear the memory slot and you will have to pair the keyboard again with a device.

Fn + 1 (Blue)

Fn + 2 (Purple)

I suppose this enables Belkin to well 'forget' you device and re-connect it.

I have had this problem multiple times. I have found the Belkin Ultimate Keyboard to be very reliable, but over the course of a year or so have had to resist the Bluetooth connection to re-establish communication with my iPad Air2. Here's how I have done it with success each time.

You must Forget the Device on your iPad and then clear the Bluetooth memory slots on your Belkin. Please follow this link to see all of the steps and please follow each of the steps in sequence.

After you follow those steps, you can then go through pairing which is as simple as turning on Bluetooth on your iPad and pressing Fn and the Delete key on your Belkin with it physically connected to your iPad and selecting pair when it appears as a dialog box on your iPad.

I hope this helps someone.

I solved my Belkin keyboatd issue by pressing fn and the delete key at same time.

It instantly cleared the keyboard and it then showed on ipad as discoverable.
