Then install new batteries and turn the keyboard back on and see if it pairs...the blinking light was a non-pairing issue. Sometimes that can mean the capacitance switches of the keys need to be discharged.

That way you can go to System Preferences > Bluetooth and see if there is a reason it isn't pairing. A likely candidate would be Advnaced and make sure all boxes are checked for Bluetooth.
