Bluetooth keyboard not pairing

Strange Issue- trying to use an Apple Wireless keyboard with my Powerbook G4. When I use the bluetooth set up assistant, it sees the keyboard and asks me to type in the passcode. However it does not offer me a field to enter the code into, and I cannot pair the keyboard to the computer.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

J
 
It never presents an input field, you just have to type the numbers, Don't forget to hit return after the numbers.

Tried that as well. Didn't work. Very strange. Is there a way to reset the keyboard?

I believe the only reset is to take the batteries out. Does the light on the bottom blink when you first turn it on? You may have to test it against another Mac with BlueTooth to isolate the problem.

Note: If the light on the bottom of the keyboard does not glow or flash when you turn on the keyboard, make sure the batteries are properly charged and installed.

Hopefully you won't consider this a *dumb* question... do you have bluetooth enabled on the computer?
