Hi guys,

I had a classic A1016 white plastic Apple Wireless Keyboard which worked a treat with my late 2014 rMBP. That is, until my wife spilled a gallon of juice all over it and I had to bin it. (Fortunately, my rMBP was not affected in any way - it was nowhere near the keyboard when the accident happened).

So, I purchased another on eBay, and I'll be damned if I can get the thing to pair. It shows up in Bluetooth Preferences, I can click to pair it, then it fails - and there's an "options" button that comes up. When that appears, I get a screen recommending that I put in a four digit passcode to pair it. Which doesn't work either.

It sometimes shows as paired/connected, but accepts no input.

Anyone got any ideas how I could get this to work?

Best,


CDC
