>>Is this my personal issue or is this happening to others as well? >> >>There have been times recently that I couldn't get any response from the keys except the prohibitionary icon (the one that you get if you try to adjust the light level in a lit environment). But I can now use the keys and move the on screen light level up or down but the keys remain totally dark. >> > >This is becoming an issue - there are a number of threads in the 17-inch and 15-inch PBG4 discussions on Apple's support site. Some folks recommend zapping pram and resetting the power manager. Many report that doesn't work for them. My keyboard will light successfully after a restart then things get flakey after a couple of sleep cycles. > >Peter Thanks all for the responses. Even when we can't offer a 'fix' it is still assuring to find that others are having the same issues with no quick fix. And yes, on the next wake from sleep, my keyboard was lit again.
