Me too. 6 out of 10 times, my keyboard will not allow me to type after turning my Mac on. When I unplug the usb cable abd plug it in again, it works. I called tech support and the guy talked me through some things. Everything then seemed fine. The next day when I turned it on, the same problem occurred.

Any thoughts please???

I know why it`s like that there are two reasons

1st : your plug are too shabby.
2nd : try using a (USB) keyboard if u can`t afford it ,when you start your computer press all the keys on the keyboard but make sure you press the following first : Num , Lock Caps Lock , Scroll Lock then try to press as much as possible util the Welcome screen pops up.
(Hope it helps)

I have the same problem except I can use the F1 key to boot up but cannot type any letters or numbers. I tried the shift key 5 times and nothing happens.
