I just had the same problem. I did everything. powered off and on and that did not work. but then I hit the power button for the screen to go off, not power off, and then I hit it again and when the screen came on the keyboard started working. Not sure if this is the FIX, but it worked for me. In future if it happens again, I will do the same process and see if that is the acutaul FIX... Good luck

Was there any updates? If so see if rolling back fixes the issue. Also you could try a external USB Keyboard.

I had the same problem. I went into apps, google keyboard, and clicked on uninstall updates. My keyboard came right back.

"There is very simple and easy fix as long as this is the issue. When screen-mirroring or cast-screen is selected, you often times have to go into settings and select ENABLE WIRELESS DISPLAY in order to see the item you would like to connect to ... well, this turns off HDMI, which is needed for the keyboard to be recognized and to work. Then again, sometimes you have not selected to cast-screen and the keyboard still will not work; however, you can do the same thing or at least check and see if HDMI Box is still selected, and if not, select it, and your keyboard will most likely work (sometimes resetting/rebooting your tablet will work too). SO.... to get your keyboard working again, hopefully, anyway....

Simply follow the instructions below....

GO TO SETTINGS: Click on DISPLAY

UNDER DISPLY: Click on HDMI SETTINGS

UNDER HDMI SETTINGS: Check HDMI BOX

Your keyboard should be functioning/working again

Good luck....Hope this helps everyone!! It is what helps me everytime my keyboard is diconnected!"

While I had the external keyboard attached I tried attaching the detachable keyboard, while in input settings, and suddenly the detachable keyboard was recognized again!!!!

Make sure HDMI setting is turned on! I had to shut it off to mirrorcast to other device. switchedd back on and bingo, keyboard worked.
