Disconnect the device from the computer. Turn off the power for the device, if the device has a separate power supply. Open "Device Manager." Double-click "keyboard," right-click the keyboard that you use, click "uninstall" and then restart the computer.

Why does the "Connect" button on my Zagg continues to flash red, despite being charged overnight?

You probably turned the button on unknowingly and left it like that overnight. The red flash doesn't mean it's dead, it means it is ready to connect to your iPad.
