Lily58 won't connect to BT
Just today the keyboard will only connect to the PC via USB. It worked fine up until now

Most likely it’s either a dead battery / power switch issue, or the BLE bond got out of sync. USB will still work even if BT is broken or the battery is empty.
Run through these checks:
1. Power & battery
- Unplug USB from the left half.
- Make sure the side power switch is up/on.
- Plug USB back in (switch still on) and let it charge for 15–20 minutes.

Re-pair - Unplug USB again (left half still powered on via battery). - Put the keyboard into pairing mode on that same profile, then pair from Windows like it’s a new device. If it still only works over USB after trying this, let me know: - OS you’re on, - Whether the blue LED blinks when you hit reset on the left half, - And what you see in your Bluetooth device list.

The battery only charges when the switch is ON.2. Confirm you’re pairing the left half - Only the left Lily58 half pairs to your PC; the right only talks to the left. - In Windows/Bluetooth settings, remove/forget any existing entries for the board. 3. Clear the BLE bond on the keyboard - On the left half, select the profile you usually use for your PC. - Press the key mapped to
&bt BT_CLR once to clear that profile’s bond.
