MacBook 12 2015 Keyboard Stopped Working
Hello,
My Macbook keyboard (except the Power button and the trackpad) suddenly stopped working yesterday and I'm unsure which part is defective. No spills or anything of that sort. It was just on, worked on it and left it for an hour so before realizing the keyboard stopped working after I resumed work.
Right now, I've connected an external keyboard so that works. I've resetted the SMC and PRAM/NVRAM to no avail.
After a couple of days struggling to adapt to an external keyboard and the whole setup with the USB hub .... the keyboard miraculously started working again. What in the !&&* is going on...nope. Started acting up again after I let it go to sleep for hours. Opened it back up and not working. Only trackpad, power and I think command, options buttons are working. So odd.
In the meantime, I’ve replaced both the trackpad and keyboard ribbon cables but to no avail. Does this mean it’s time to replace the actual keyboard itself now?
Update 1:
Now the trackpad and the select few buttons (except the power) that worked has stopped working.
This really sucks.
I’ve ordered the topcase (without the trackpad) already so i’m really hoping that that’ll fix everything once I able to replace it.
Update 2:
After disconnecting and reconnecting the trackpad and keyboard ribbon cables, the few keys that did work and the trackpad started working again.
Still going to replace they keyboard/topcase when the part arrives.
Any other useful feedback is more than welcome.
There's no Apple store in my country because otherwise I would've gone to them to replace my keyboard.
