Could you clarify what you did in regards to "I removed it." Do you mean your don't use the keyboard anymore or something else ?
Jite I've suffered similar to the symptoms you've described. After a complete discharge on the Keyboard I found I had to pop the Keyboard on to a Main's Powered USB Charger by itself (Old USB C Chromebook charger) for several days to get the charge back up on it. Once that was done I was able to connect it to the phone once again and charge via normal 3AMP USB C power chargers.
In the end the charger chip was fried and what I described above was the precursor to it completely breaking. I have managed to change the keyboard main board successfully and it is working again. More importantly, I have changed the charger that I have used with the keyboard, and touch wood, things seem to be working ok. The keyboard is not heating up when charging, which is a good sign.
I am also interested in what mburns has said about the back as I have had a few issues with the pogo pins connecting and have had to put in a piece of cardboard to enable better connection, which is working, but perhaps I cut the cardboard too thick as it has caused a break in the plastic in that area on the back of the keyboard case.
Oh well, at least everything is working now.
Based on another post in the forum, I have purchased a phone cooler and will see if I can use this to do convergence for more than 3-4 hours before the phone overheats...
