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 had to send my Belkin keyboard pad after it stopped pairing. Performance was annoyingly on and off before that, too. And the so-called instructions for pairing that come with the thing? Phhht. Could they be any more vague? I only figured it out by trial-and-error. Would it have killed them to add an step-by-step how-to? Now let's see if it keeps working.

I have a Belkin keyboard, and an iPad running on IOS 10.3.3. Yesterday evening, my keyboard went nuts, each key giving wrong responses, sometimes two letters, sometimes mixing the order of letters from the way they were input, etc., calling Siri every time I hit the "C" key. I tried all the protocols suggested. (Turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on, forget this device, and try to re-connect.). Finally, I used the last resort suggested, which was to re-set the iPad. I've done that, and now the keyboard is apparently working properly (I'm using it now), but you have to re-enter all your passwords, and somehow, although it recognizes my Apple password, it won't let me in to texting. The little circle goes continually, and I can neither cancel out of that screen or go forward. My goodness, but these things can be a nightmare.

Thank you! I got a new iPad a few weeks ago and my keyboard wouldn't connect. I've just tried your solution and it's worked! I'm typing this using my keyboard! Much apprieciated. 🙂
