Keyboard case not charging (or not working) and a possible FIX for both

[drh]

Hmm....
If I had read some of this first,  perhaps I would have been more careful...

I was excited to try out my new keyboard,  I just glanced at the keyboard    ===>  and then snapped it together with my version 1.2a Pine phone.

Except for the otherwise noted firmware problems,  the keyboard works as expected.  I have removed it and re-installed it,  and it still works.

I am not ready to try the keyboard on my new Pro series phone -- Not quite yet,  even when working,  "they are both in early development".......

<  I inserted the corner with the POGO pins first  --  if that makes any difference ?  ==>  When snapping the keyboard to the phone. >

I too have tried to insert the pinephone (original) a few different ways.

It might be wise not to insert pinephone pro in the keyboard. Initially, the keyboard was charging my pinephone (original), indicating that the issue might not have existed when I first received the keyboard. I have inserted the pinephone pro in the keyboard. However, it is speculative whether inserting the PPP into the keyboard contributed this issue because my PPP seems to have the same issue (keyboard battery is not charging the PPP).

Of course, I will appreciate if it turns out if I had improperly inserted the pinephone. However, I do not know what this would be exactly.

I do hope that this issue is not random and can be addressed, unless this issue is truly rare. If is not rare, then addressing will ensure that new keyboards produced will predictably not have this issue (i.e., occurrence is rare). Of course, it is up to Pine64 to determine if this issue is or is not rare.

My keyboard will remain in its original box. :-(
