    Please help.

    I bought a new tablet recently and also a case with a BT keyboard and trackpad. All good. Connecting was a doddle but then , after a restart the KB was not connected so i had to reconnect it!

    But now its asking for a passcode ... Yes i did this the first time and no i didnt write the number down .. But now i cannot connect to it at all! It just keeps asking for this bloody passcode and ofc i dont have it. I would of thought that this would of been a random number generated each time to try to connect .... but noooo it wants the same one as before.

    Someone please help before i launch it right out of the window!!!

    There's a generic pass code for BT. 0000. Try that.

    Is there a user manual for the keyboard? Or anything printed on the underside along with the model number?

    You may have already tried but it looks like there's a couple of keys at the top for Android/Windows modes, do they do anything at all?

    I took it to work and gave it to the nerdy kid in the office. It took him ages to connect it but he found another way around from the norm somehow ..
