If you don't tell us what solutions you've already taken, we're probably going to waste a lot of time telling you to do things you've already done.

My Macbook built-in keyboard has stopped responding, (even caps lock light does not come on). What can I do as cannot even login to computer?

There has been no spillage and it has not been dropped.

Do you have access to a USB wired Apple (or maybe even a PC) keyboard?
That may be used to help troubleshoot the internal keyboard and on startup
be able to access (or see if you can) the System, and attempt to see about
troubleshooting. See if it will start in SafeBoot, (shift key held down just after
startup tone, if it runs in safeboot, then login to see if you can read system
logs in Console) and another idea may be to attempt to start in Recovery &
then attempt to use OS X Utilities there to see if you can verify and then to
repair the hard disk drive, and do some checks on the hardware.

Was the computer an Apple official refurbished unit bought direct from Apple?
Did you get an extended warranty from Apple - if it were directly bought there?
Usually these are online purchases from Apple Store; other companies offer
repaired or restored used computers and call them 'refurbished' or they may
have bought actual refurbished from Apple stock; these may be resold on ebay
or via amazon, and may or may not have a residual warranty of some kind.
In some cases the keyboard may fail due to some connection on the logic board
not fitting correctly, or some other loose wire; however if the battery may have
swollen, that could contribute to issues with both trackpad and keyboard.
A visit to an authorized Apple service provider is recommended, or contact the
seller you bought yours from to ask if they may offer suggestions or perhaps a
discount on diagnostic + repair if there is no warranty on the product.

My caps lock light is not turning on no matter what I do. PLEASE HELP!

My caps lock light is not turning on no matter what I do. PLEASE HELP!

Hi lahiri,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that the Caps Lock key on your MacBook Air is staying lit as if the Caps Lock is engaged and you cannot turn it off. One article I would suggest taking a look at in this situation is attached below. If the information does not help you solve your issue, please let me know more about the situation. Are the letters you type in all caps all the time or can you adjust between upper and lower case using the Caps Lock key and the light just stays on?

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
This question was solved.

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.

Wireless keyboard stopped working caps lock light does not come on but on mac mini unable to log in

Any help out there would be appreciated. Never had this problem before until now.. Mac mini was asleep. pressed space bar on keyboard.. machine woke up now i can't type anything. restarted the machine and now i can't log in. can only do it through my mbp with screen sharing.

For troubleshooting and emergency booting where BT may not
work, a wired USB keyboard is recommended, as spare/backup.
A windows keyboard can be OK to use, if you don't have one
and end up borrowing one from a neighbor, see link to compare.
If you are familiar with windows or also use BootCamp, there
is an article about keyboard use and mapping those k/b here:
•BootCamp: About keyboards and key assignment for MS Windows

I've almost always had at least one extra, new or spare keyboard.
Good luck!

Wrt54gs all seems good cept internet light will not light or flash and no connection

Got a WRT54GS router. # months old. I have it hooked up to comcast. This evening . I found no net when I turned on pc. I have comcast phone and net service. So My modem also handles phone calls aswell. On my cable modem there is a link light with is normaly flashing. When I got home my link light was dark. None of my pcs or consoles could get on the internet. I found all the lights on my router on cept the internet light. I called comcast and they verified it was my routeri I hooked this pc strait to modem and all worked fine. This is how im posting now. Ive tried newest firmware and multiple manual resets on router. I get everything but the internet light.<Internet light does not come at all.> Ilso get no net when hooked to router. If I use modem alone all is fine.
Im hooking up an
XBOX360
PS3
PC
Wirelessly WII
Wirelessly PSP
Wirelessly Laptop.
My Router is WRT54 GS with latest firmware just installed. Please help me if you can All my lights come on as normal cept the internet light. And my cable modem dosent get a link from the router at all. If I hook pc direct to modem again all is ok. Its not my provider.
Thank you.

Since the "internet" light is not coming on , i'd say that it may be a problem with the "cable" you are using between the modem and the router....if the cable is good....try this....take one CAT5 cable and plug one end into the one of the LAN ports and the other end into the internet port of the router.....check if the internet light turns on...in case it does , try connecting a "hub" between the modem and the router..... let me know what happens

Apple Wireless Keyboard Caps Lock light doesn't turn off

Hello
Recently the caps lock button light doesn't turn off on my apple wireless keyboard. Anybody know how to turn it off. Every time i press a key, the light dims a little, but when not pressed, its fully on. I tried resetting it, taking the batteries off, unpairing it. But nothing =(
hmmm

This doesn't turn off your light, but you should check out CapSee on Apple's downloads page. (www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/capsee.html) It puts a notification pane (or bezel) on the screen letting you know when you turn caps lock on and off. Looks just like the volume and brightness bezels. Very slick, and it's free.

Aluminum keyboard won´t work ? has the caps lock on !

i have a imac power g5 with 10.5.8 os x it have the key caps lock on but the imac won't recognize the keyboard and any key dont work so please i need help to fix it i don't have another keyboard right now
Thank you everyones
i have a imac powerPC G5
processor 1.9 GHz
memory 1.5GB
version 10.5.8
and the keyboard aluminum model A1243

There were two versions of the model A1243 keyboard, and some G5 PowerMac (tower) users found that one of them worked, and the other didn't. There is an A version and a B version. And likely the same one which worked for the tower G5 would function with the iMac G5.
However this numbered designator is not an Aluminum keyboard
Model Number
A1243
Order Number
MB110LL/A, MB110LL/B
Or use a white USB keyboard from the early 2003-05 era such as those shipped with the iMac G4, and early iMac G5.
This is an aluminum keyboard:
Model Number
A1242
Order Number
MB869LL/A
There were compact keyboards without numeric keypad, and with BTO computers, a full-size keyboard with numberic keypad were available only as an option. Several later model keyboards worked well with the Intel-based Mac computers of their era; so when there is an issue with an earlier PPC-based Mac, look into those keyboards fitted to the computer vintage.
So if the keyboard you have does not work, could be it was intended for use with a later Mac computer after 2005. I was sure to get at least one as-new spare Apple USB keyboard, to have on hand for my older Macs.
Good luck & happy computing!

Caps Lock light indicator not working

The light indicator in the caps lock key on my PB don't work. It was not working when I bought my computer but seems to work fine a couple of weeks ago. Now, it's gone another time and I suspect a software problem but I can' t find anything to make it work. Any clues?

If the caps lock still "works" even though the light doesn't turn on then it could be hardware problem I suppose...but I thought LEDs don't burn out(?) so I'm curious to see the resolution of this.

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

TS3694 trying to restore my iphone 4 and it gives me error code 1600 screen is black and is in recovery

unable to restore my iphone 4 screen is black and gives me error code 1600! how can i resolve this issue?

Sounds like your iPhone is stuck in DFU Mode. Try this, open iTunes on computer. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, you may need to search the Web for help of DFU Mode Loop.
Here are the Steps to fix Error 1600 directly from Apple:
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
