Apple wireless keyboard a1255 discoverable but not pairing
Hi there,
I bought an A1255 (3 battery) keyboard from eBay. It was described as for 'spares or repair' - which was fine because I was actually buying it for the keys.
However, it looked in pretty good condition when it arrived (better than in the photo), so I gave it a bit of a clean, put in some fresh batteries and switched it on...
The good news is that the keyboard is discoverable and will go into pairing mode (double green flash). However, it will not actually connect with anything (iMac, iPad, iPhone, windows PC etc). For each device the connection process seems to start, but it doesn't get as far as asking for a passcode.
I've done quite a lot of googling, and I've read a lot of posts and I've tried a lot of things but to no avail, so I just wondered if anyone had been successful with a keyboard that seems to work, will go into pairing mode but doesn't get as far as the passcode step?
Many thanks for any suggestions etc,
M.
