delete key macbook pro not working chrome

You said "using Chrome". Does this mean that the delete key with other apps?

Also, if you show "Keyboard Viewer" does that show the Delete key bing pressed?

To turn on Keyboard Viewer got System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard and check Show Keyboard...... Then click on the keyboard icon in menu bar and select Show Keyboard VIewer.

Does an external KB work OK?

This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum or other appropriate forum.

Did you do this as I said in my previous reply?

To turn on Keyboard Viewer go to System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard and check Show Keyboard......

Are you not seeing the icon to the left of time?

What exactly are you trying to delete? You mentioned Chrome. You can't delete text in a web page unless the text is in an editable form field. Does the delete key work in TextEdit or other text editing apps?

The Keyboard viewer shows you what keys you depress a key. WHen you press the Delete key does it it show depressed in Keyboard viewer?

Also you never answered:

Does this mean that the delete key with other apps?
