Caps Lock light not lighting up?

Hi, my new MacBook Air's caps lock key is not lighting up, what can I do to fix the problem?
P.S My nearest Apple Store is 70 Miles away.

Hello Willza3,
I would be concerned too if one of the keys on my keyboard was not working.  I found an article that can assist with isolating and troubleshooting issues with the built in keyboard.  I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "Some keys don't work as expected" in the following article:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

  • TS3048 caps lock does not light up

    Have no way knowing whether it's in capital mode or not. Frustrating tryin to type in passwords. Any suggestions before calling Apple Care?

    Thanks for your input, but actually I did the old "restart" and works fine now.

  • Caps lock button not sensitive enough

    I just bought a new macbook air , and I found that the caps lock button not as sensitive as other buttons, what should I do now ?
    I have to press a bit longer and harder to make it detected.
    thanks!

    I'm not sure if you've resolved this issue but I solved the problem by removing the charger plug, then the battery.  While the battery is out, push the power button.  Reinstall the battery and reconnect power.  When the notebook rebooted, the caps lock light and num lock lights were once again working.

  • Keyboard delete and caps lock keys not working after update

    Shortly after a windows update two keys, delete and caps lock do not work. I have tried the following
    1. system restore..it says it cannot restore as a file is missing. I have used this function before without any problem.
    2. Update key board driver (standard PS/2)..it says latest version is installed.
    3. Uninstall and reinstall.
    4. Reset using the remove batteryt hold down power key option.
    The caps lock and delete does not work in Notepad or MS Word.
    It seems unlikely that the two keys themselves are damaged as it is unlikely that they would both fail at the same time and the problem after the windows undate is suspicious.
    I am using Windows 7 Home premium on a 64 bit HP G62.
    help appreciated as ever
    thanks

    Here's another test...since your laptop has USB ports get or borrow a USB keyboard and try it and if all those keys work and test then the results would mean your laptop keyboard has stop functioning as least you narrow done the problem.

  • All the fonts are in caps and the cap lock is not on.  PSE 8

    all the fonts are in caps and the cap lock is not on.  PSE 8  Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

    Suggest that you reset preferences. This will frequently correct things like you are experiencing.
    Windows
    Step 1. Hold down the Alt + Ctrl + Shift keys as you click on the icon to open Elements. When asked if you want to delete the settings file, say yes.
    Step 2. Reset the preferences .
    Step 3. Close Elements and let the file regenerate.

  • HT1192 Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.

    Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.Please help me to sort this problem out.

    I think even in newer versions of OS X there is a slight delay; just not so pronounced. My advice to get around it would be to install PCKeyboardHack and KeyRemap4MacBook - then do a couple of things:
    Change the Caps Lock key in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys to "None"
    Use PCKeyboardHack to remap Caps Lock to keycode 110, the PC Application Key, which is unused on Apple keyboards.
    Then use KeyRemap4Macbook to map that particular keycode to Toggle Caps Lock.Try selecting For PC Users > Change PC Application Key > Application Key to CapsLock.
    I'm pretty sure that should get rid of the delay, which only happens when Apple is in charge of connecting the Caps Lock key to its action.
    Really, though, I would personally recommend doing some much more awesome things with your Caps Lock key; it's prime keyboard real estate, and who uses caps lock anyway, except in the darkest corners of the Internet? Personally, I've remapped Caps to be Escape (for use in my text editor) when you press it by itself quickly, but to be Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+Shift when you press it with any other key. I call it the "Hyper" key, and use it to switch applications; Hyp+S = Safari, Hyp+D = email, Hyp+F = Finder... The point is, be creative, make the Caps Lock key work for you.
    Oh, and the real Escape key maps to Caps Lock, so I can use it if I want to.

  • My caps lock is not working! (Nothing happens when I press it and I cant see any light turing on or off)

    Hey guys,
    My Caps lock doesnt work, I cant see any green light... I have a NEXXTECH 2.4G Wirrless Mouse and Keybored Combo Set
    I have bought it 2 weeks ago and I just noticed that my mac's keybored caas lock doesnt work. I think my keybored settings are bit mixed up so I tried to search on google about "How to reset the keybored's settings" (like a factory rest but only the keybored settings NOT the computer.) Please I dont know what to do, any help and tips will be really appreciated.
    ( I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2012 with 10.8.2 )

    Sounds like a hardware failure of the button.  Since you're most likley out of warranty, Google for a phone repair shop near you.

  • G500 indicator light works for caps lock, but not for num lock

    I have G500 laptop running windows 8.1 64 bit.  I have noticed that there is no indicator light for when num lock is on.  The light on the front of the computer under the touchpad comes on when caps lock is active, but not for num lock.  Is there any indicator for num lock on this computer?

    Hi Kimikat730,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    I’m sorry to inform you that there is no other indicator in G500 Laptop for Num-Lock key.
    Do post us back for further queries.

    Hey,
    Sorry to hear about the keyboard problem.
    In a post a while back had this to say.  He makes a suggestion that the keyboard might need to be replaced, then the person with the question tried something else.  You might take a look and see if there's something there that will help.

  • Wireless keyboard caps lock issue (not LED related)

    i just bought an iMac last week and I'm having a weird issue with caps locks. It seems like that particular key needs to be pressed harder than the rest of the keys to register a keystroke. If I hit it lightly, the key will depress but the keystroke won't register and the LED light won't come on. Any other key, even if I hit it very lightly, as long as it was pressed down, the keystroke is registered,
    I found the right amount of force where I can press it down like 10 times and it won't register the keystrokes at all. When I'm typing fast, I'll have to go back to capitalize almost 80% of the letter that need capitalizing even though I hit the caps lock key while I was typing. All the "I"s, the first letters of every sentence and the first letters of proper names.
    I've had plenty of keyboards, some wireless and I've never had this issue, nor have I had it on my Macbook. I'm just wondering if this is how it was designed to work or if I have a faulty keyboard that I need to go and replace.

    Hi Guys
    Glad I've just found these posts. Got a new 27" iMac just before Christmas. Greatly relieved that everything worked despite all the reports of cracked screens, etc. BUT - only small problem was the Caps Lock light not always coming on. Rang Apple and got a replacement. Now today I'm having same problems - first the light froze and wouldn't go off. Then it wouldn't come on. I've now tried your advice of switching off the keyboard and taking out the batteries. Works OK now. Hopefuly it'll stay that way. Only thing is - pity Apple couldn't have given me that advice. Reading these posts, there is clearly an ongoing problem with the caps lock light on the wireless keyboard. A problem thats been around for months. Clearly Apple's poilicy, as always, is to admit nothing until it comes up with a fix. Pity that policy appears to extend to not even telling their own employees that there is a problem ...

  • Caps Lock LED not working in X unless I hold shift

    Hi, I recently installed Arch, installed X and configured it as the wiki says, installed awesome and now I switched the language toggle to Caps Lock instead of Alt+Shift.
    I hoped the LED would tell me what language I'm typing in. But I noticed the LED wasn't working (Num Lock LED does work however).
    I looked on the forum and it said to use
    kbd_mode -u
    to switch the keyboard to UTF-8 and it'll be fine.
    Now Scroll Lock works too (it didn't before), but Caps Lock does something weird, it lights up for a split second then immediately turns back off. That unless I hold shift when I press Caps Lock, then it works fine, but I don't want to hold shift...
    So how can I make it work?
    EDIT: In the tty Caps Lock works fine.
    Thanks.

    Standard troubleshooting procedures in order are power the iPhone off and on, Reset, Restore and if no change after and or all in order, call AppleCare (800) 694-7466 or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.
    Although others may have experienced the same, this does not mean the majority have.

  • Caps lock LED not working consistantly --SOLVED

    Not so much a question as an answer. I searched earlier for an answer to why my caps lock LED would not light up. Still no clue, but I found a quick fix. Press and hold power button for wireless keyboard until it disconnects from the computer. Wait 20 seconds and turn back on. This should solve it completely.

  • Caps Lock Key not displayed when active on Key board for HP P7 1410

    How can I tell if my Caps Lock Key is active??

    Hello Again,
    If you click on the link below it shows you how to sync, and the instructions are pretty standard with other wireless devices we have. The little receiver that you have plugged into the computer might not have a button on it, but there should be a sync button on the bottom side of the keyboard.  
    Also after doing some research I was able to find out that less and less of our wireless keyboards are coming with the standard caps lock light. Also if the wording itself doesn't come up on the screen when you press the button and the keyboard is functioning as such then the keyboard doesn't provide that function.
    How To Sync
    Please respond at your earliest convenience.
    Thanks
