Hi,
I bought a keyboard for my mac mini and it all works apart from the backlight. Now I tested in my PC and the backlight is functional, it isn't broken. I think the problem is that the scroll lock key is the on/off key for the back lighting.
I'm new to mac's but I tried to map the key -- it didn't work lol.
I tried this.
Does anybody know how I can get OSX to recognise the key?
Thanks.
