my caps lock led is not turning off

the caps lock led is not turning off on my m1 MacBook air

Also 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`

Keyboard and trackpad stop working after upgrade to Ventura 13.0.1 After i upgraded my macbook pro M1 14" to Ventura 13.0.1, the keyboard (external Apple bluetooth keyboard as well as the built in one) and some functions of the trackpad and Bluetooth mouse stop working. If i restart the computer, they resume working for a short time but inevitably fail again regardless of what software I am using. The issue appeared immediately after upgrading to Ventura and no other updates are available.

Keyboard not working on MacBook Air (M2) 2022 My Air is only a few weeks old and all of a sudden the keyboard stopped working. An external keyboard works (USB-C connection and bluetooth), but the internal keyboard is non-responsive except for the power button. I ran diagnostics and everything reports back okay. I went through the Apple suggestions - slow keys isn't checked, the correct keyboard input is selected, etc. Software is up today. Is the quality really suffered that much? First, my two year old MacBook Pro dies ((display went out and it was $$$ to fix it despite it being a clear displaygate problem -- all of the textbook symptoms were met) ) and now a few weeks old M2 Air is not working? Any suggestions on fixes other than trying to find an open slot in the Genius Bar? Disappointing to say the least. Thanks in advance.

M1 MBP stuck entering recovery mode I'm having an issue entering Recovery Mode that I haven't been able to find any info on anywhere else. When I try to boot from recovery mode (hold power button until choices are presented, choose Options and press continue), it presents a list of languages to choose, and when I pick English and hit the right arrow button, it just freezes. It'll beachball a few times, but mostly just sits there doing apparently nothing. It doesn't show any sort of progress window or anything, it stays on the language selector. The only way out of this seems to be holding the power button until it shuts down. Does anybody know how to fix Recovery Mode here?

Hello Pruthvi_Sidhardha,

We understand that your caps lock light is stuck on enabled, and that your keys aren't responding as expected. We'd recommend reviewing the following:
