Wireless keyboard stopped working, flashing green light (not batt. related)

My wireless keyboard has not given me a single problem until today. When I turned my computer (intel iMac) on this morning I also turned on the keyboard as I usually do. Rather than the steady green light I usually get, I now have a flashing green light that eventually turns off after a minute or so. I've changed the batteries to brand new batteries. I've even tried using new packs of different brands of batteries. Nothing works.

The computer no longer sees the keyboard.

Any ideas as to what the problem is?

My keyboard is working again. Fortunately, in my case, it was just a matter of re-pairing.

I had the same problem. I went to "system preferences" and under "Bluetooth" I deleted my keyboard and than ran the bluetooth assistent again. And it works perfectly.

more info.

When the earth grease is painted on surroundings of battery compartment cover of the keyboard, it
is more effective!

Hey Saamy! My keyboard works now! I followed your instructions and so far, so good. This is the longest amount of time my keyboard has worked without disconnecting.(5 hours so far). Thank you!!!

I've just run into this problem as well. The computer sees the keyboard and says it has successfully paired with it, but the keyboard still doesn't work.

**>Same thing happened to me. Make sure you are hitting return. Read the screen and what it says.**

**Try restarting if won't pair, find, or accept "pass code".**
