Apple Wired Keyboard (A1243) stopped working after connecting to Dell Docking Station

Hello guys,


Use my MacBook Pro mainly with lid closed and use this external keyboard, my MacBook is mainly for personal use and study.

Have another computer to work, Windows and due COVID-19 received a Dell Docking Station.

Decided to try the external keyboard so I could take advantage of the three monitor setup, I know the keyboard differences and I was planning to remap the keys on WIndows.

However the keyboard not even was recognized on Windows.

I've put it back to MacBook and it is not working anymore.

Any idea how to deal with this or it was burnt?

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15

Hello,


Unfortunately it sounds like this keyboard has failed and would need to be replaced.
