My apple MacBook key board not working

My apple MacBook Pro keyboard is not working

Hey Maurice,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question. I found a document that goes over troubleshooting steps if your keyboard isn't working:

  • HT3529 My ios 7 update has made my message key board not work ?

    After updating to IOS 7 update. It has made my key board not work very well when typing a message.

    Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.

  • Key board not working with hp 2000, window 8

    I have a hp 2000 lap top tablet with windows 8. The key board stop working. First it was the numbers, then letters. I just bought a wireless key board just so I could research the problem.  Any ideas?

    It sounds like the laptop keyboard cable may be loose or your laptop keyboard may need to be replaced. If an external keyboard is working just fine, it should mean that the motherboard is just fine.
    If the laptop is still under warranty, I would contact HP, they should fix it for you. They will not want you trying to fix it yourself (at least without them knowing about it) without voiding your warranty.
    Otherwise, you may need to find someone that can take care of it for you. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can find keyboards on Ebay for less than $20 usually and tutorials that will walk you through the whole process of replacing it. Of all the parts to replace on a laptop, the keyboard is generally one of the easiest to fix, but I would research it out a little before attempting.

  • Key Board not working on Compact CQ60-420US Laptop

    One day the key board and touch pad  was working and the next day it would not work. I tried a restore to a day that I know it was working to no avail. I have a Compact CQ60-420US laptop. This laptop is not moved around as it just sits on the desk all the time. Any thoughts anyone?
    Thanks,

    This question was solved.

    You can try the following steps:
    1. Please remove all external devices from the computer, remove the battery and the AC Adapter. After that, hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Reconnect, restart and check for functionality. 
    2.  Go to BIOS and check if the Arrow keys are working. This will isolate any issues with the Operating System. 
    3. Try using an external Keyboard and Mouse. This will help us determine if the issue is with the computer hardware or the Operating System.

  • Key board not working at startup. Have to use system restore.

    The only way to get the keyboard working on start-up is by using system restore. Unplugging and reinstalling just brings up a cannot install message. I have tried uninstalling in the device manager and reinstalling in a different usb port but to no avail. The system restore is no big deal but every time I do it I have to download all my norton updates.
    Model HP Pavilion HPE with Hp keyboard Windows 7

    Hello again errola,
    Thank you for providing your computer's information!
    Since you have already attempted to connect a second keyboard with drivers installed, I recommend installing the Intel USB Controller Driver Update. This software package should help update the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller, which your keyboard is attempting to connect to.  
    If the keyboard is still not able to function after installing the update, I suggest Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7). This should help re-install drivers for the hardware and original programs that came with the computer. After this process is complete, please follow up with the HP Support Assistant (Windows 7) to update these drivers.
    Should the issue persist after re-installing the original drivers for your computer, I recommend performing a backup and recovery of your Operating System. To do this, please follow this document on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7) as well as Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7). 
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • Some of my keys are not working on my macbook air. Should i contact apple or is the problem simple.

    Hello. I have a Macbook Air and I just recently realized that some of my keys do not work or they will work when I press the letter or number next to the key that I need. Can someone help me. I do not know what is wrong or why this is doing this since I got the computer on March 26, 2012. Thank you.

    This is probably something you should take your computer into Apple for repair. You might check your language settings in the language Preferences and look at the input sources tab.

    Don't use any cleaning spray. Wipe with a moist but not wet microfiber cloth.

  • Apple Keyboard with number pad the V key will not work

    Apple Keyboard with number pad the V key will not work.  Everyother key works but not the V.  I have a MacBook Pro.  Any suggestions?

    Call AppleCare and get it replace if it's under warranty; otherwise, get a new one. They're only $49 USD.

  • My Macbook Pro (bought in 2013) function keys are not working

    My Macbook Pro (bought in 2013) function keys are not working. The function keys ie the volume and brightness are not working at all both with one single tap and with the function button. I have checked the settings for the keyboard but nothing seems to stand out that is making the keys not work?
    Please can you help?
    Thanks
    Kat

    Some might suggest resetting the SMC, but I don't really think that will solve the problem. You can try, though.
    I would suggest, since you're still under warranty, taking your machine to your local Apple Store/AASP and letting them fix the problem. It could be any sort of hardware problem. Only the Apple techs have the tools to properly diagnose and repair the machine.

  • MacBook Pro up arrow key does not work how to fix it?

    When I am just working on the computer the up arrow key does not work at all but when I use bootcamp to go to the PC side the arrow works so i know its not a phisical problem, i have tryed everything i know and still no success.

    Hello brooklinekilla,
    I would be concerned too the up arrow key on my keyboard was not working.  I found an article that can assist with further 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:

  • Tab key is not working on my macbook pro on any app including the key combos. It has snow leopard.

    Hi All,
    I have a macbook pro with snow leopard on it. The tab key is not working now suddenly. It doesn't work on any browser or applications like word or excel. The key combos with Tab also doesn't work.
    Thanks,
    Daniel.

    I noticed the same problem started a few days ago on mac pro with logic fcp keyboard but caps lock also stopped working. I cleaned under and around the tab and caps lock keys thoroughly but no dice. If I change usb ports the keyboard is plugged into caps lock lights up briefly and if I tweak keyboard setting tabs to force it to re-recognise the keyboard the tab and caps lock functions work while I have the keyboard system panel open and attempting to "identify keyboard" but back to not functioning when I close it. There have been a few postings about this problem but haven't come across the solution yet. Any ideas...
