Built-in Keyboard/Trackpad stopped working after been replaced by Apple Care

Hi everyone,


I got my built-in keyboard replaced on a MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2016) less than a week ago free of charge by Apple itself under the "Keyboard Service Program for MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro" (https://support.apple.com/keyboard-service-program-for-mac-notebooks). While there I also got a new battery fitted since the previous one was already in need of service.


Now for no particular reason both built-in Keyboard & Trackpad stopped responding. I can only log-in and operate thanks to an external bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse.


Looking at the system report under SPI the following messages show-up: "This computer doesn’t contain any SPI devices."


Also typing sudo dmesg | tail in the terminal shows the following issues:

Before going back to the Apple Store I wanted to know what do you guys think the issue could be...


Is it an hardware issue (for example defective replacement parts)?

Could it be that whoever worked on my laptop simply didn't plug correctly the news parts?


Looking forward to your opinions.

At the end, I went back to the Apple Store and in fact the problem came from a faulty cable that connects the keyboard/trackpad to the motherboard (Input Device IPD to Logic Board Flex Cable ANSI/ISO). The store didn't want to take any risks and decided to change again the keyboard/trackpad along with the cable, all free of charge! Thank you Apple.
