If your Apple keyboard doesn't work - Apple Support I'm happy to provide some help for this issue.Ĭheck out the steps provided to help with this in the following article: Sorry there's not an easy fix that I know of.Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities for help with your shift keys not working on your keyboard. They replaced the board, and it's been fine ever since (about 7 months now). I took it to an Apple authorized service center and luckily the 'p' key was inoperable for them and they were able to diagnose it as a faulty logic board. When in the non-functional mode, I was generally able to get it back to normal by holding down the keys while hitting the Caps Lock repeatedly (although one time this made the Caps Lock stick 'on'). I was able to get it into and out of the mode repeatedly by putting to sleep and waking up - it seems highly correlated to waking up from sleep. I didn't have an external keyboard available at the time, but I suspect it would work. Using the mouse on the Keyboard Viewer for the Caps Lock and 'p' key worked normally - the key input was received. Brought up the virtual Keyboard Viewer: that verified that the Caps Lock and 'p' were not receiving input from the top case keyboard. Logged out of the account and into another Admin account - no effect: the 'p' and Caps Lock were non-functional. The Caps Lock is also inoperable (that and the 'p' key are the only non-functioning keys). So with it in that mode here's what I found: She typically got it into the inoperable 'P' key mode soon after bringing it out of sleep. #Mac product key finder pro key not working update#
Kinda hard to wait on an update that allows you to use words containing the letter "p", though, isn't it?Īlthough this thread is a bit aged, I thought I'd post what I found about this issue for those who stumble upon this in the future.Ī friend's daughter had the same issue on her 2010 15" MBP.

I've abandoned all hope of finding one without the issue, opting instead to hope that a driver or firmware update can fix it.
The new unit, which I'm using now, is the fourth one in a row I've had with the issue of screen flicker at low brightness when on battery power. I told the AppleCare product specialist that I had, as a result of all these needed repairs, lost all faith in the future reliability of that particular unit, and that I thought Apple should provide a replacement. When I had gotten mine back to the store, of course the problem had vanished and all keys were working properly. The "P" key would have been the fifth repair.)
(I had owned the unit for 32 days, 20 of which it had been in shop for repairs. Since the issue presented itself literally just hours after I had picked up the machine after a logic board replacement (to address screen flicker that, it turned out, the new board did not fix), I called AppleCare then and there, from the store, to firmly request a replacement unit. I had this problem-oddly enough, with exactly the same key!
