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.

I don't know whether any of these were long-term fixes.
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.

  • Caps lock light no longer works since upgrade

    Mavericks appears to work just fine but... the caps lock light no longer functions on my mid 2012 MBP sine I installed Mavericks. Any had the same issue?

    The caps lock light is entirely hardware-controlled, so you probably have a minor hardware issue with the keyboard. Any correlation with instaling Mavericks is purely coincidental.

  • 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.

  • My caps lock LED is not working

    my laptop (splitx2 ultrabook) is hardly a month old and the capslock LED has already stopped working. initially it would just get dim and burn out eventually but now it won't show up at all. i tried updating the bios and system recovery and everything
    please help. my pc is hardly a month old

    Its likely that the keyboard is broken somehow physically, and should be replaced if you are not happy with it. Call or chat HP for a repair order.

  • CAPS LOCK light is not working

    Hello dear guys, 
    Had a problem today - some keyboard keys didn't work properly. 
    I opened the laptop (Pavilion G6 2241sa) cover and saw that keyboard cable was loose. I reconnected it properly, closed the cover and switched laptop on. Now, all  keys are working fine, BUT CAps Lock light is not working well. Key is functioning, but when I press it - the light come on, but as soon as I release the key - the light goes off. Light doesn't stay. Also when the actual function of caps lock is on, when I press any other key the light come on the surface of Caps lock key but it is dim. 
    I recheched keyboard cable again - all is fine, but Caps lock light doesn't stay on when pressed. 
    I do practice typing for the last 3 months for few hours each day, so I guess it also affects the life span of my keyboard.
    Would appreciate any insights about this Caps Lock light. Many thanks, Vit

    Hi there @vitsirius 
    I understand that the Caps Lock LED is not working, after you had fixed a loose connection to your keyboard.
    You may want to walk through this page and see if something may help

    Also for your convenience here is the maintenance guide. It is possible when you were working on it one of the of the other connections was loose or became so.

  • 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 ...

  • 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 green light not working after coke spill. Help!?

    Hello.
    I accidentally spilled some coke on my brand new macbook pro! I can't believe how horrible this year has been for me so far. I rarely even drink coke! Anyway, I cleaned my macbook with some dry towels, then some laptop cleansing wipes and then I used a vacuum cleaner to get all the liquid out from underneath the keyboard. Everything's working fine. It's just that my keys are super sticky. Any help with that? I tried taking the keys off and cleaning them - no luck so far.
    Then I realized that the backlights from some of the keys aren't as strong as the other ones.. Can I do something about it?
    Also today I realized that the green light from the caps lock button isn't working properly. It lights up whenever it wants to and such. Help?
    If I was to take my laptop to get it fixed, what would it all cost me? My macbook is barely a month old and I've already caused such a chaos.
    Could anyone give me a decent answer to my questions? It would be very much appreciated!

    I'll take it to a friend who's an IT tomorrow. If he says that I must take it to the repair facility then I definitely will. Also, it wasn't a dollar can of coke. I had a glass which I didn't even take next to my MBP. Then for a second to plug in my charger, I put it down next to it and that happened. It's not sloppy care. I take care of it more than I've taken care of anything. Spilling coke on it was my mistake and I hope it'll never happen again. I am facing the consequences. For anyone else who's in the same situation or is just interested- I'll let you know how this works out.

  • G72-B61NR Laptop screen black;Num & Caps locks blinks; Hard Drive works fine

    Hello everyone! I would like to get a solution to a problem I've been having with my laptop; if no solution, then a reason for my problem would be great. My laptop has recently stopped booting up correctly. Basically the screen is black and will not turn on. The NUM LOCK and CAPS LOCK LED lights flash a number of times before the computer shuts down. When I turn on the computer I can hear the fan and the hard drive running but no screen. I have been able to take out the hard drive from the laptop in hopes of salvaging important documents and I was able to do so by connecting it to a desktop. Is there anyway to fix my screen and save my laptop? Thank you in advance for any help.

    Hello soTERRAble, welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you have a blank display with your notebook. I will try to help you with this.
    From what you describe this could be indicating that something in the notebook is not working correctly, right now I wouldn't be able to tell you what but can provide you two documents that might be able to identify what.
    Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps - this document may be able to assist you with the flashing LEDs your getting when trying to start the notebook. Watch to see if you can identify an error pattern. If you can compare it to the table in that document. This will provide an idea to what may be failing.
    Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot - if the above document could not direct you to something failing, then follow this one.
    Let me know where the above documents lead you.

  • Caps lock key does not work...

    my caps lock key was working perfectly up until 10-15 minutes ago.
    when i press my caps lock key, the little light on the key does not turn on and all of my letters remain in lowercase.
    i thought perhaps something was stuck underneath the key, but when i took the key off - nothing was there. i placed it back on and still the caps lock key does not work.
    does anyone have any ideas as to why the problem could be and how to fix it?

    Finally found something that worked for me. See this thread and look for the post about removing the Hitoolbox plist files.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10765093&#10765093
    I removed all of them. (Had multiples) Also make sure you empty the trash afterwards.
    Then restart.
    Then I used the modifier key trick in this thread. Turned off the caps lock key. Then restart.
    Then use the modifier key trick and turn the caps lock key back on. Test to see if your lights come back on for the caps lock key.
    If so, next time you restart it should still work. Finally. This thing has been dogging me for a long time.

  • Satelite P50-A-14E - Caps lock key is not working

    Hi all,
    My CAPS LOCK key is not working on my Satelite P50-A-14E series laptop. Just realized while writing an email that is not working so is more or less sudden. Nothing has been spilled on it. Here is what I've checked so far:
    - green light indicating that CAPS is LOCKED illuminates while pressing the key from on screen keyboard
    - keyboard backlight doesn't start when I press the key but It works for the key itself when pressing any other key.
    - tried a clean boot but no result.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hi
    > Just realized while writing an email that is not working so is more or less sudden.
    Did you test the CAPS LOCK button using different software: internet browser, word or another editor?
    How about the usage of external keyboard?
    From my point of view there are two possible malfunctions: either there is some problem with the software you are using or the internal keyboard simply malfunctions and in such case the keyboard replacement will solve the problem.
    You could test the external USB keyboard. In case the USB external keyboard CAPS LOCK button would functions, then the internal keyboard has to be replaced for sure.
