Still a pain but easier than re entering the code.
That is exactly what I have been trying to do, but when I tap connect, it always fails to connect. I have the BT keyboard in discoverable mode, and the BT led on the keyboard blinks, but it will never stay connected. Occasionally, it will connect for about 5 seconds, (BT icon in status bar goes blue) but then it immediately disconnects (BT icon goes white). It goes through this endlessly never staying connected. I changed the batteries on the keyboard thinking they were run down, but that didn't solve the problem.

When you say "If I have powered off then I activate bluetooth", what do you mean. The BT icon is always in my status bar. Do I have to do something to activate it?
