Magic Keyboard backlight not working

The backlight is not functioning. I have restarted my iPad (12.9 in, Pro 5th Gen) to no avail. I am running iPadOS 17.0.1. Not sure what the else I can do here. Is this an iPadOS bug?

Try updating your iPad to iPadOS 17.0.2 - this being the current version. While this update primarily addresses a completely different issue, there appear to be a few other fixes. This update may help with your problem.


Otherwise, you might be well advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.
