My Caps Lock key not working. My Caps Lock key on my Magic keyboard, iMac running Sonoma 14.0, does not lock. The green light illuminates only when holding the key down and then CAPS can be entered. As soon as the Caps Lock key is then released, only small case is entered. Caps Lock will not stay on. Why?

Caps lock light always on (MBP M1 2021) I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2021). My caps lock light won't turn off. Even if my computer is actually off, it is still on. It's bright when it's on and it's half-bright when it's off. It dulls with every key I press, but it comes straight back to being bright when I release it. When the caps lock is on, it messes with my typing: when I press the space bar, I get HNY6 ] (seems to be all in a line except [ ) when I press the down arrow, I get IK*{< (I think with shift down) when I press the ` button, I get AQZ1` This doesn't happen when caps lock is dulled or with an external keyboard. I've tried all the standard troubleshooting: checked Text to Speech checked Slow Keys checked Keyboard Viewer (it shows as on/off as it should) changed keyboard language tried to reset NVRAM (even though it doesn't actually make a second startup chime) reset SMC tried checking First Aid on my startup disk external keyboard works properly I've also run MalwareBytes to check whether anything came across to my computer from the popups. I can find a lot of people who have had this issue, but all have only had the above troubleshooting and no response from the original person as to whether it worked or anyone else adding any other possible ideas. I'd love to avoid being without the computer for any length of time to get it repaired...so I'm hoping there's an obvious solution out there.

If the laptop is less than 14 days old, then return it. Otherwise you will need to get the laptop repaired if you want a working Caps Lock LED.
