If your Mac doesn’t respond when you press the keys on your keyboard, or if pressing some keys has unexpected results, try the following.

•Connect your keyboard to a different USB port or to a different Mac. If this solves the problem, your Mac may need to be repaired. Contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for service. Repairs performed by untrained individuals or using non-genuine Apple parts may affect the safety and functionality of the device.
