Q: Keyboard Not Connecting?

Hello,

I use a wireless Apple keyboard. After I changed the batteries, the keyboard does not want to connect anymore. When I hold the power button. no green light shows. I did put the batteries in correctly and I have tried the tin foil method. Is there any other solutions I can try?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry if this is in the wrong category - I could not find the right category for this..

What is "the tin foil method"?

Are you sure that the batteries you installed are good?

I managed to get the keyboard to work. I put the batteries in the wrong way! Lol.
But anyway, the tin foil method is when you take a small piece of tin foil and put it in the battery compartment, then the batteries.
Thanks for trying to help!

Sounds like a good way to short things out.
