Should I just never use the PP keyboard?

Now the keyboard battery never seems to take any charge (even with the phone removed from the keyboard case) and the phone says it's unplugged when it's connected to the keyboard. Sad

I don't know whether I should bother trying to rip it open. I'll doubtless ruin the case. It still works as a keyboard but then it's unnecessarily bulky and heavy without the use of the battery function. Maybe I could charge the keyboard battery directly (carefully with a low current). It's a shame I can't buy a replacement PCB.

I've had similar problem.

It's mentioned above, but also in the wiki - try to "squeeze" or "press" the place where screen and the pogo pins meet. If the
keyboard is being charged (or it's fully charged) and if the drivers are new - the phone should report it's charging now. If that happens - you can try to fix the loose contact with the shim trick described here: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_(...er_contact

Also, (i'm not sure if it'll be necessary) try to press the keyboard button to activate the charging functionality if for some reason, the board's firmware decided not to try to charge the phone.

I should report that I use mine regularly since a few months ago. I've seen "the sticky keys" issue before, but not recently as far as I can remember.
