iMac (17-inch (Mid 2006/Late 2006 CD) Troubleshooting — Symptom Charts 1 1
Keyboard
Certain keys or none of the keys on the keyboard function.
Unplug all devices from your computer, including your mouse and keyboard as well as 
printer, scanner, external hard drives, and hubs. ( Warning: Some devices may require you 
to perform steps before it is safe to unplug them, e.g., external storage devices.) Be sure to 
unplug your hub, if you have one.
Plug your keyboard into the back of your computer firmly and securely. Plug your mouse 
into the back of your computer firmly and securely. Take special care to make sure the 
connector is completely in the socket. Go on to step 3.
Does your keyboard work now? 
 
Yes: Problem solved. 
 
No: Unplug your keyboard and plug it into another USB slot on the back of your iMac.  Does 
it work now? 
 Yes: Replace the logic board. 
 No: Unplug your keyboard and plug your mouse into the port the keyboard just 
occupied. Go on to step 4.
Does your mouse work now? 
 
Yes: Replace the keyboard. 
 
No: Replace the logic board.
My keys are sticky or slow to respond.
Try a known good keyboard.
Open System Preferences. Click on the keyboard and mouse icon. Adjust the “key repeat 
speed and delay until repeat” rate.
Replace the keyboard.
When I type, strange characters appear on the screen.
Depending on your iMac’s settings, a simple keystroke can change your keyboard from 
English to Japanese. This can result in some pretty funny characters showing up when you 
type. To switch to the US keyboard,
Open System Preferences. 
Click on the International icon. 
Click on the Input Menu near the top of the screen.
Scroll down the list and uncheck any non-US keyboard layouts.

USB
A USB device doesn’t work
Please unplug all of your USB devices from your iMac except your Apple Keyboard and Apple 
mouse.
Now plug your device directly into the back of your iMac. Does it work as expected now? 
 
Yes: Your device works when plugged directly into the computer. This indicates a conflict 
with one of the other USB devices. You can test by gradually adding your devices back 
and seeing where the issue occurs, then contacting the manufacturer of the device(s)) for 
assistance. 
 
No: Unplug your device from the iMac and plug the keyboard into the port your device just 
occupied. Is your keyboard still working? 
 Yes: Your Apple Keyboard works when plugged into the USB port your device was 
plugged into. This points to an issue with your device. Please review the documentation that 
came with your device. Install any necessary drivers and contact the manufacturer of your 
device for assistance. 
 No: Replace the logic board
I see a message saying not enough power to function.
It appears that this device needs to be plugged into the computer’s USB port, rather than the 
keyboard USB port. Any USB device connected to the keyboard needs to be either a self-powered 
device (a USB device with its own AC power supply), or a low-power device (a device that does 
not need a large amount of voltage to operate). Your device may draw more power than the 
keyboard can provide.
