Keyboard of MacBook Air

Hello Everyone,


I just encountered a problem with MacBook Air recently and I cannot type anything except I can use my trackpad.


What to do? I believe my laptop is out of warranty now and it would cost me a lot :(

If this an Intel Based MBA - sometimes and SMC Reset might bring the keyboard back to life and perform this action 3 times consecutively. If the computer is the new Apple Silicon M1 CPU >> Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider and just fill in the Country and City Information.


As temporary workaround - a USB Keyboard with correct Male USB connectors to Female socket on MBA could be used until repairs are scheduled.
