Caps lock light not working properly

My Laptop caps lock is not working properly , when i press it , the light just flashes and dissappear , the light is suppose to stay there , the things that i type will still be in caps though , any idea how this happens?

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.
Thanks for coming to the forum.
Hope I helped,

  • Wireless keyboard caps lock light not working

    Hey, said it all in the title but here's the story...
    Got home today and realized that the caps lock LED don't light up anymore. Has anyone else had similar problems? If so, how was your situation rectified?
    The keyboard still works fine, don't think its a bad enough problem to have it replaced or be without it for ages. Could see if apple will allow a straight swap at the shop...

    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 light not working, can't tell if it was after upgrade or just use

    Has anybody else experienced this?: My Powerbook G4's caps lock light doesn't lit anymore.
    Was it because of the ugprade from Tiger 10.4.10 to Leopard 10.5.0?
    Anybody?

    Geez, it's working again... I think there is some type of malfunction when waking it up from sleep.

  • 2009 Aluminum Keyboard caps lock light not functioning

    Greetings:
    I bought my wireless keyboard in February 2010 and it works but lately the caps lock light has not been coming on when I hit the caps lock key. I took it to a local Apple Specialist to try to figure out what is going on and it of course worked when he paired it to his machine.
    I got it back home and re-paired it to my mini (2009 2.25 mhz intel) and it worked for the day... now it is not functioning again. I unpaired the keyboard and re-paired it again and the light functions again for the time being. But if it holds to pattern, tomorrow it will be non-functioning again.
    I have the latest update for the keyboard installed and I am at Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on the system.
    It appears that if the keyboard goes to sleep, this phenomenon happens. Any ideas?

    I think that re-pairing the keyboard does essentially the same thing as restarting the machine would do with regards to resetting the keyboard. I did replace the batteries today just to see if that would help. -- so far, the light is working still and the keyboard has been asleep for a couple of hours since I replaced the batteries. They showed 81% when I replaced them this morning.
    I would like to know if this is a common problem. The keyboard always works, just the caps lock light stops working which is annoying for me because I tend to hit it by accident and the light is a good way to see that I did, in fact, hit the key.
    I am marking the question as answered, but hopefully someone has a real fix for it, or Apple has a new firmware update coming soon

  • Apple wireless keyboard.  Caps Lock light quit working.

    I know it's a small thing but all of a sudden the Caps Lock light quit working.  A real pain for entering passwordssince you can't see if their in caps or not.  Can this be fixed?

    What does resetting the PRAM mean? How is that done?
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11243>
    It works best with a USB keyboard.  With a wireless keyboard, try pressing the keys just after the startup BOING.
    You will need to reset the "Startup Disk" system preference after a PRAM reset.

  • 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.

    i have problem with my iphone 5 lock switch..as lock switch not working properly..and my iphone is not in warrenty.. so plz tell me what i do...

    The iPhone 5 is less than a year old, so all of them should still be in warranty unless they have been jailbroken or physically damaged. If you have a hardware problem as you describe the only option is to get the phone replaced by Apple or repaired by a non-authorized shop. The Apple replacement will be free at any Apple store in the country where the phone was purchased. If Apple determines that the phone was physically damaged or jailbroken it will cost $229.

  • My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    Do you have your Assistive Touch on? Per another user in another forum:
    Source: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6-forum/240631-auto-lock-not-working-ios-6-a.html. Username: Chambaka
    Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
    Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
    I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Shift-Caps Lock-Tab not working with remapped Caps Lock

    I've remapped my Caps Lock key to Ctrl using the Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier keys dialog and in the following question when I say CTRL i mean the Caps Lock key remapped to Ctrl and Ctrl is the normal left Ctrl key.
    I'm using OS X 10.9.4 and I've just bought 2 new external corded Apple keyboards and both of them are having trouble with the key combination Left Shift + CTRL + Tab. For applications where that combination should go to the previous TAB it does not work. If I use the right Shift instead it works fine, if I use the left Ctrl key instead of the remapped Caps Lock key it works great too.
    The internal keyboard on the laptop works fine with Left Shift - Caps Lock - Tab.
    The computers are a Macbook Air 11" Mid 2011 and a Macbook Pro 15" Mid 2010.

    Hello , Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community! I came across your post about the indicator lights staying on, and wanted to assist you! First, you can try testing and calibrating the battery.  You may also want to consider performing a Hard Reset.  However, keep in mind that this will remove your personal files and settings.  So if you try this option, I recommend backing up your files first.  You can review the following documents to help you with this, if needed:HP PCs - Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8)HP PCs - Resetting Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8) Please let me know if this information was helpful by clicking the "thumbs up" below.
