Three week old Powerbook and the keyboard stopped working.
I cant type anything, just got of the phone with Apple and they said it is a faulty keyboard and to take it in, and get it repaired.
At leased I have a Microsoft USB keyboard at work, but thats not the point.

i know this is dumb, but...
just make sure the num lock button is not on.

i had a friend who had a technician look at his powerbook, and...turned num lock off.
