iPad Air w/Belkin kbd cover: Gibberish!

Question

iPad Air w/Belkin kbd cover: Gibberish!

I'm using iPad Air with the Quod Belkin keyboard cover.

As of this morning, the Belkin keyboard is a mess. If I try to type, I'll get a small-cap "g" that repeats itself over and over. Pushing another key might not stop it, or might produce another symbol or symbol/letter combination.

If I then try to use the iPad kbd (as opposed to the Belkin) it, too, is weird. Highly, highly sensitive. The slightest touch creates text.

I've taken the kbd cover off of the iPad and put it back in. The bluetooth connection is okay.

I've turned the iPad off and back on, but the same problem persists.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Allen

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

PS--If I first use the iPad kbd without trying to use the Belkin, the iPad kbd is fine.

Thanks, James.

I tried your tip and still have the same issue.

In that case I suspect hardware or firmware issues with the keyboard. Might be a question for Belkin support.
