Hi, assuming your laptop is switched on.
Above the keyboard on the right side are the three 'Easy buttons'. The one on the left is for the wireless function.

Push this button to activate or deactivate the Wireless LAN. When you activate the wireless LAN function, it will search for a wireless LAN signal automatically (assuming you have the wireless LAN driver installed). Just below the screen on the right side is the Status LED Panel, which show six icons, each with its own LED. The first one on the left indicates Wireless LAN status. When the LED is displaying a green light, it indicates that the system is accessing data from, or retrieving data by wireless LAN. So whenever you press the Easy button, you should see the green status light come on or go off. To repeat, if the light is not on, you need to press the Wireless LAN 'Easy Button'. NOTE! If you can't get the button to come on, you will need to re-install the Wireless LAN driver.

If you'd like to check if it's connected, go into System Preferences, then Bluetooth. It will show you what devices are connected there.
There is also a checkmark box at the bottom of the window where you can choose to have the Bluetooth status show up next to the clock at the top of your screen.

Is it a usb, ps2 or wireless keyboard? your keyboard doesn't require a driver since it is a plug and play device.

If you're using a usb or wireless keyboard, then might as well update the chipset driver of your computer. If updating the chipset driver fails, they try your computer on a difference computer to see if there's a problem with your keyboard already. If another keyboard works fine with your computer then it means to say that the computer is working fine.

If you're using a wireless keyboard, changing the battery helps.

Is your keyboard also wireless? Check batteries on all wireless devices. If batteries are fine, restart your computer (hold down your power button until your computer shuts down unless you have a reset button) and then try unplugging and plugging back in your wireless receiver, then hit your connect buttons starting with your keyboard followed by your mouse.

The MS Keyboards and Mice 700 v2 receiver has a reset Button under the word "Microsoft" press this button and then while its flashing press the connect button under the mouse! ALL Fixed
