I thought I would try changing the keyboard's channel, but the Utility that's suposed to do it in Leopard (AirPort Utility.app 5.3.2) doesn't seem to work. (I may be wrong as I can't understand how Airport and Bluetooth are related.) I think it may be because there are a couple of local networks broadcasting on the same channel (11) as the keyboard. As soon as I get it working I get “Connection Lost”, or it goes mental, repeating and omitting keystrokes. DianeĪpart from not being able to understand the little green light, I'm having problems with my iMac wireless keyboard (aluminium, iMac, Leopard, batteries fine) losing connection both intermittently, and for hours at a time persistently. I don't have a Caps Lock problem either, which I see many others complaining about in the Discussions. Again, all of the OTHER functions of the keyboard work fine.

I called Apple Tech support and no one could answer the question. My question: Does not having the Power On light 'on' when the keyboard is switched on indicate a hardware problem? If so, I want to return the keyboard while it's still under warranty. That seemed to work, because when I tested it, an image appeared with the words 'Connection Lost.' I tried the suggestion in the discussion group of holding the on/off switch for a few seconds. Simply pressing the on/off switch does not turn it off.

There is no other indication of functionality. The only way to know if it's on is to try using it. When I turn the keyboard on, the power light comes on for a few seconds, then goes off. of the manual reads, 'Note: When the Power On light is off, the keyboard is off.' Brand new wireless keyboard just out of the box.
