MacBook's keyboard stopped working after a light blink

My macbook keyboard suddenly blinked and then the keyboard light suddenly went out. The keyboard stopped working when the light went out. Is it hardware issue?

First try this


  • Your Mac may be showing a low battery alert that you can’t see. Connect your Mac to an electrical outlet or connect an external keyboard to your Mac to see the alert.



After that try this

  • Choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click Accessibility  in the sidebar, then click Keyboard (you may need to scroll down). Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must press and hold a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
  • Choose Apple menu > System Settings, click Accessibility in the sidebar, then click Pointer Control (you may need to scroll down). Make sure Mouse Keys is off.
  • Or press Option-Command-F5 to open the Accessibility Shortcuts panel, then deselect Mouse Keys.
  • Choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Keyboard  in the sidebar (you may need to scroll down). Go to Text Input, click Edit, then turn on “Show Input menu in menu bar.” Open the Input menu, then make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected.


If this is not working there can be hardware issues i am afraid
