Problem with green LEDs on 15" PB keyboard
Hi there.
I'm new to macs and bought a 15" powerbook a month ago. Today I noticed that my num lock and caps lock keys are working, but the green LED lights are not toggling on and off; they don't work. While not a big deal, this is extremely annoying to me because I use Num lock all the time.
I tried restarting, but this didn't help. I haven't opened up the powerbook, spilled anything on the keyboard (in fact, I have one of those iskin covers for it), or abused it in any way; it's been sitting on my desk!
Any advice? Is this strictly hardware or did something get messed up? I'd hate to drive the hour to the Apple store and have to leave my powerbook there when it isn't necessary. It seems weird that both LEDs would fail at the same time. If the keyboard is loose or something, I'm going to be pissed. This thing is four weeks old and barely used. Shame on Apple.
