Keyboard Caps Lock LED continuously on

I don't see a thread anywhere on the forum that discusses this situation.  I have an iMac i5 with wireless keyboard.  I noticed today that the Caps Lock button LED is continuously lit, whether in Caps Lock mode or not.  I've turned the keyboard on and off, removed and reinserted the batteries, and restarted the machine.  Nothing changes.  I also noticed that when I press any other key I see the light will go off - for each character pressed or for as long as I hold that key.  As soon as I stop holding the key, or stop typing the light comes back on and stays lit.  For example, I purposely held the "fn" key down and I see the light goes off for as long as I hold the key down.  I'm not a touch typist so I do look at the keys when typing.  It's not quite as bright as when Caps Lock mode is actually on, but it's nonetheless bright enough that I see it, which I find very distracting.
Any thoughts as to what might cause something like this?  I purchased the entire setup through Best Buy during Christmas season 2011.
Thanks.

  • Keyboard Caps Lock Led No Longer Working

    I've rarely pressed the caps lock on this keyboard and now the led has stopped working. The computer is barely a year old.

    All of the fixes suggested can work with the SMC reset seeming to be the easiest certain correction. I have noticed this is happening less often than a half-year ago so it would lead me to believe that something has improved in the system.

  • No display while caps lock LED blinks

    Hi
    Please could someone help me.
    For about 2 weeks now my laptop has refused to display anything. When I turn it on, nothing displays on the screen but the caps lock LED blinks once every 2 seconds. Also the wireless button displays orange light but nothing on the screen.
    It managed to display once in this 2 weeks and the error message I was able to see before it came on read something like:
    HP Battery Alert
    The system has detected the storage capacity of .....(did not see all the message on this line)
    very low. For optimal performance, this battery .... (did not see all the message on this line also)

  • Caps Lock LED incorrect when changing modifier keys

    Hello,
    I remapped Caps Lock and Ctrl keys via keyboard settings (they're now flipped). Unfortunately the Caps Lock LED is still being activated by the "old" Caps Lock key (which is now the Ctrl key). This means that whenever I hit Ctrl (using the Caps Lock key) the Caps Lock LED changes its status.
    This is rather annoying as it ends up being in random state and tells me nothing about the actual Caps Lock status. Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks!

  • 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. 

    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 ...

    There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPhone that hasn't been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store).
    If you have jailbroken the phone, and jailbroke the last phone as well, that is certainly the cause of the problem. Restore the phone to factory condition, without restoring any backups, to remove the jailbreak, and any potential malware you might have become infected with.
    If you have not jailbroken the phone, it's not malware, it's probably a hardware issue. If you have had the same problem on two different phones that were not jailbroken, you need to evaluate what environmental factors might be at play causing damage to your phones. It could be anything from a bad USB port/charger that you're connecting it to, an overly-humid environment, a tendency to drop phones or any number of other things.

  • Wireless Keyboard Caps Lock Problem since 2007 - unresolved

    My Mac Pro wireless keyboard "caps lock" stops working - if I reinsert the batteries it will start working again for a short period of time.  I've issues a case number with Mac Tec support; along with bring it into the MAC Store.  This issues has been brought to Apple's attention since 2007 and they have still NOT FIXED THE ISSUE.
    Any suggestions???

    Grant:
    My Mac Pro (10.6.8) is set for automatic updates; and, I even check periodically prior to reminder.  I also was at the PeachMac Store yesterday and they, too, checked and my updates are up-to-date.  If you have a "patch" that can fix this - neither they nor myself are aware of it.  There are multiple, and I mean multiple complaints out there over the internet on this very issue dating back to 2007.  Is there a "patch" that should be utilized on my MAC that didn't come across with the updates?

    A neighbor had the same problem and asked for my assistance.  I created a rescue disk using my HP desktop running Windows 7 64-bit.  Even though her HP laptop was running Windows 7 32-bit, the disk allowed me to boot into windows on her computer.  I then went to the HP web site and downloaded the latest BIOS and then flashed it to the BIOS chip following the instructions that came with the download.  Everything is working fine now.  Hope this helps.

    My pavilion dv4-1070 got stuck on a blank screen and numlock and caps lock LED are blinking... it happens when i update the BIOS.. please help... thanks

    Hello, 
    I see that you're having an issue with the notebook giving you a black screen. I also noticed you said only the NumLock and Caps lock is blinking. 
    Now, the BIOS update could have because this but we won't know until you let me know how many times the LED blinks. 
    Here is a chart which will tell us what's causing the issue. 
    Please let me know the outcome.

  • Caps Lock LED don't turn off

    Well, I got my notebook from repair today, and looks fine, but... The Caps Lock LED won't turn off, no matter what I do. I'm still downloading ALL the drivers, so, if I need a special driver for turning on and off the leds os Caps Lock, tell me. And the LED of the Wireless key is working perfectly, white when turned on and red when turned off.
    And I getting some issues with the TouchPad, because it don't turn off too! I'm hoping when I finish downloading all the drivers some problems will go away, but, if you can, may you help me with that issues ?
    My noteboo is a Pavilion DV7 6143-CL with Windows 7 Ultimate.

  • 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.
