Hardware Librem 11

heyoo
i just received my librem11 yesterday
i was tinkering with it, set it down, went to sleep
and now i can’t get the external keyboard to reconnect
tried dusting off the connectors, logging out, rebooting, to no avail

does anyone have any thoughts on how it might be recognized again?

after re-seating the keyboard 10 times
for whatever reason, the 11th time did the trick
the external keyboard is responsive again

Get used to it, it only gets worse. Those connectors wear more and more with time as you seat and unseat the keyboard to collapse the tablet.
