Wireless Keyboard was detecting but quit!

[GARoss]

I've never tried wireless keyboards or mouse before but was given an Apple A1016 KB & Apple wireless mouse when we got a new Mac Mini OS 10.6.1.
The mouse connected right away but it took a little time for the A1016 KB but it finally connected & worked for several days until now. It work earlier today but quit. Put new batteries in the A1016 & re-tried again but still nothing. Our old USB KB still works okay. I even tried the A1016 on an iMac OS 10.6.1 & still nothing.

What else can be done?

When i change my batteries, if it does not connect after a moment or 2 - then click on Bluetooth icon in menubar - see arrow - [if it is not there then select in Sys Prefs/Bluetooth] then turn mouse/keyboard off then on and select browse and it should find the device. Tiger and Leopard used to say device does not have services but it always worked anyway.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Actually, this is what I've been doing without detection.

These were given to us used from my son & he said he's never had any issues with them. When we installed them a few days ago the Apple Mouse was detected immediately. The Apple A1016 keyboard took a little longer. After a few tries it detected the keyboard & asked that I type in some numbers to finalize. It then connected & worked for a few days, then stopped & hasn't connect since.

I'm really at a loss. It's hard to believe something internally has gone wrong.

Just a quick question.
The Apple mouse has a small green LED that glows when ON, but, the Apple A1016 keyboard looks like it has the same LED but I don't see green glow; no green LED when in the ON position. The switch has green paint showing when in the ON position, but, no green glowing LED.
Should it?
