2007 wireless keyboard led doesn't display

I have a 2007 wireless keyboard that the green LED doesn't display. I just replaced the batteries with new ones and the LED still doesn't display after pressing the on button, so I replaced the batteries with another set of 3 brand new batteries. Still no LED.
The batteries are installed correctly, all positive in same direction, all pointing in.
Is there a reset button, or is it possible that a keyboard can die?
There is no visible sign of abuse or being dropped at all. Can an older keyboard like this be repaired?
Thanks,
Steven

Also I'm not sure where the LED is located in the keyboard. On the trackpad it's in the right top part of the round part where the batteries go into. I assumed the keyboard might be the same.
Oh. that led! I was thinking it was a keyboard that had a led in a key, for example my Tactile Pro keyboard has a light in the caps lock key. If it's the led indicating a bluetooth connection attempt like the one on the trackpad and magic mouse, then forget it, there's no way you can repair that own your own. And I don't think even apple would either since it is far cheapr and simpler to just replace the device.

New Mac Mini and 2006/2007 Wireless Keyboard and Mighty Mouse

Will my old wireless keyboard and mighty mouse from 2006 and 2007 work with the new Mac Mini?

Thank You!

Wireless keyboard Swedish don't work with my iPad

Since upgrading my ipad retina to version 6.1 my wireless keyboard ( Swedish) doesn't recognise å,Ä, ö but acts as an english keyboard. What to do??????

what happens when you press Command + Space on your Keyboard? A Input Selection Menu should open (Like on the Photo i attached) then there should be Swedish, if it's not there you have to set it up again in Regional Settings.

Wireless keyboard with Marvicks doesn't work properly

It's not easy to post this article due it's Marvicks (?) / Apple wireless keyboard problem.
Once I'm at home, I use my MBP like a desktop by connecting with Apple wireless keyboard/mouse. Works Great!
Since a while, I updated to Marvicks with great experience, but my wireless keyboard doesn't react on some uppercase keys. So, what I can do is: switch to caps-lock then type the missing key or type on MBP keyboard to get "T".
Look to here and you will find which uppercase letter doesn't work:
(use only with right-shift combination) aAbcCdDeEfFghHiIjJkKlLmMnNoOpPqQrRsStuUvVwWxXyYzZ.
(use only with left-shift combination) aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNoOpPqQrRsStuUvVwWxXyYzZ.
Don't work letters/function:
(right-shift combination) B, G, T
(left-shift combination) T
"fn+delete"
Further, I have "Pinyin - Simplified" language installed. During Chinese input, I need switch to normal alphabet by activate "caps lock". This is an Easy and fast way to toggle between Chinese - English input. (much convinient than Language switch via mouse clicks).
My older OS (Leopard, S.L, Lion) works well, but Marvicks interpret differently. Once "caps lock" and I navigate with cursor keys, sometime it convert my typing into e.g.: "\[34334" (this is not the exactly right sample, due I can't simulate this at this moment), something like that. It looks like the "Escape sequences"
This is frustrating when I write my document without looking to the display regularly.
Please help with thanks!

Why don't you use the MBP's internal keyboard? Does it also not work right?
Have you tried another external keyboard? If not, you should do that. If it works OK, then you need to replace the one causing all this trouble.

I don't have a wireless keyboard or mouse for my 2007 iMac, is there any way that can use remote desktop and access it from my 2010mbp.

Hi champrider,
You can use an application such as Apple Remote Desktop to control your iMac remotely. See this article -

IMac shutting down on startup - Can't enter safe mode as wireless keyboard doesn't connect quickly enough

Hi all,
I was planning to use bootcamp to install Windows 7 on my mid-2010 21.5" iMac.
Bootcamp recommended I usk disk utility to repair the drive. I had a snow leopard install disk in the drive, (I didn't realise Lion already had it's recovery tools built in to the hard drive.)
Disk utility said it can't repair the drive and recommended I start backing up my data (because the hard drive could be about to fail). Fine, so I restarted, with the intention of backing up everything (all my work for the last 12 months). So I press the power button, grey screen comes up, then the apple logo, then a progress bar appears (found this odd at first, but later found out it has something to do with disk utility and a bad hard drive) it gets to around 20% and then all power is cut from the iMac and the hard drive stops/everything powers down.
Now, I can't seem to get my iMac to boot into recovery utilities or into safe mode because it doesn't connect to the wireless keyboard in time before it shuts down. So, if I use a wired keyboard (I have a dell USB keyboard that I can take from the office), will I be able to boot into safe mode?
Also, if the disk in drive is causing the problem, then I can't remove it because the wireless keyboard won't connect/register any keypresses.

Ok so, status report:
Wired keyboard is non responsive when I plug it in before/during boot. So i guess it needs to be plugged in before the iMac shut down. That's that out the window.
Plugged in headphones and I can't hear the startup chime so don't know when to start holding buttons.
To make matters worse, the wireless keyboard is no longer paired with the iMac, getting a green blinking light which indicates it wants to connect to a computer or device.
So I can't enter any commands whatsoever, can't remove the disk in the drive or boot safe mode. It's my worst nightmare.

If your Macbook is less than a year old, it is under warranty. A repair of of a problem of this kind would be free. So, if you have a warranty, have the problem fixed by Apple.
If your Macbook is more than one year old, please tell us what operating system you are running, and any other information that would help understand what is going on.
If you do get the keyboard to work for a short time, long enough to post back, please unlock the "caps lock" button.

HT2452 just got a replacement wireless keyboard for imac but comp doesn't recognize it and won't connect. can't type or use it. any suggestions?

Just got a relpacement wireless keyboard for my imac but the computer won't recognize it and b/c i can't use the keyboard (type) there's little troubleshooting i can do. how do i reconnect this? thanks!

You may need a wired keyboard to carry out some of these steps. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.
Step 1
Follow the instructions in these support articles:
How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
Step 2
The keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Step 3
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
See these support articles:
Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
Bluetooth: Unreliable wireless performance may occur when USB 3.0 external devices are close
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Display replaced...but iSight led doesn't work

I've a Macbook Pro (June '07) on which i've totally repleaced the display. They (the apple support) have mounted the new MacBook Pro display (Feb '08), that is as the old one, but with only one difference: http://nobi.com/nobilog/archives/001795.html
Now if i use my integrated iSight the green led doesn't turn on. Is this an internal cable-connection issue or does the led work just with the new MacBook Pros?

Hello Marco
Try the suggestions in Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight.
Regardless of whether you can see a green led, if your built-in iSight does not work (meaning you can see a picture from your iSight) with any app in any user account, the repair job is not finished. Contact the people who worked on your Mac and ask them to correct the problem or credit you for what you paid for the part of the work that was not completed.
If your iSight works but you cannot see the green LED, you can decide whether a return trip to get the led working is worthwhile to you. I probably wouldn't bother, but you might want to have it made right. The most meaningful reason I can imagine to take it back ONLY for an LED fix is that a working LED might be important to someone to whom you consider selling your Mac at some future time.

Have you tried to go into bluetooth and telling it to forget your keyboard?
Drastic but might enable you to repair the devices and see if it clears up the glitch.
I had a period of time when my iPad always sensed and used my bluetooth keyboard. I think it finally went away after I powered down the iPad. (not just a put to sleep, a bonafide 'slide the red slider to shut it down' powering down.

White Wireless keyboard doesn't connect on startup.

I have a new Mini and a older Apple Wireless Keyboard, the big one. Anyway the problem is it doesn't connect to the Mini on start up. This is major problem because I can't get past the login screen without it.

Having a similar problem. Keyboard paired fine before upgrade to leopard, now won't pair. Where is that "preference file" located?

The sleep key doesn't work on my HP SK-2061 wireless keyboard. How do I get it to work?

Hello @SunLovinGran,

I have read your post on how your wireless keyboard's sleep key doesn't work. Is your computer able to enter sleep mode by itself after a certain period of time? Are you able to enable sleep mode using a different keyboard?
In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Troubleshooting. This should help diagnose any possible issue with how keys or buttons are input using your keyboard.

2007 BT Apple Aluminium Wireless Keyboard

Hi. Suddenly, my Apple Aluminium Wireless Keyboard (2007 version) went mad. I deleted it from the BT devices enlisted, in order to re-pairing it, but then, I cannot pair it again. I´ve changed batteries, reboot, deleted preferences, reseted the pvram, but nothing happens. Its weird, because in the list of devices the keyboard appears listed, but finnally never get pair. Sometimes, pressing some keys, I got the device appears listed, but again, it cannot get pair.
Anyone else have the same trouble?
Thanks in advance

Hello:
Try resetting the SMC.
Of course, the KB may have failed.
