[iPad Pro] Won't recognize Smart Keyboard

[xsdeus]

Been having a problem with my iPad Pro recognizing the Smart Keyboard when plugged in.

Is there some trick to activate the Smart Keyboard, or is this likely a problem with the smart connector?

The first time, restarting the iPad Pro fixed the problem.
However, I haven't been able to use the smart keyboard since then in spite of numerous restarts.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

There is no trick, of which I know. It sounds like a hardware problem to me.

Took it into the Apple Store and it turned out to be the iPad Pro's smart connector that was faulty.
Replaced it with a new iPad Pro and it works well with the Smart Keyboard.
