Repairing key on IMac keyboard
What is the story on the standard (small blue) USB keyboard? I have suddenly
got two in with one key on each not working and can't find a reference to this on Google. Is this a known problem? Is there a simple cure such as unscrew the lower panel off and run a cleaner over the contacts? Or dip it in a tub or spray inside with WD-40? Or do none of these 'solutions' work because the problem is internal and electrical? Nobody on the Mac hardware forum seemed to know what I thought must be a reasonalby obvious question Licensed to Quill |
Well that pretty much answers myt question, especially as I have just
obtained a MS keyboard with a USB connector and didnt actually know tjhat you could use them intercahngeably] Now however i have a more pressing problem about which I need to get an answer: This was one broken system. When I turn it on, nothing happens on the screen or in the computer beyond the power button light light and fan coming on when I press the button on the keyboard or on the unit itself. No gong, no perceivable HDD activity etc Is there some sort of reset button or start sequence I can try (I am not sure I can get as far as doing anything with the keyboard??) or is it time to open the thing up and start looking around inside it for blown fuses on the power supply? (If so, how or is it worthwhile or is the problem OBVIOUSLY the whole power supply in this situation, - is this a known set of circumstances as well)? |
