Hello all, this is to all those people out there that have or think they have a malfunctioning Apple Wireless Keyboard. I am referring to the new aluminum keyboard.

This was the symptom that I had, my keyboard was extremely low on battery and when it was time to switch up new ones, for some reason my green light would not appear - and yes they were fresh new ones.

I decided to go on the net to see if this is a symptom that other users faced. Indeed it was… sadly in the Apple forums there were no solution to this.

Luckily I stumbled upon this link. One user solved it by rolling up a small piece of aluminum foil and dropped it into the battery cave. Then inserted the batteries.

As ridiculous as it may sound, I gave it a try and to my amazement it WORKS. That is the solution peeps. So the issue seems to be revolving with the Apple Aluminum Bluetooth keyboard’s contact with the first battery. It could be that overtime, the contacts become weaker and thus requires a support to re-establish the connection.

This could be a hardware failure here, I hope that Apple will take notice of this issue and resolve this instead of going oldskool by dropping a piece of aluminum foil… still I find this pretty funny.
