MacBook Pro In-built keyboard not working

In built keyboard unresponsive but trackpad works perfectly.

External keyboard also works normally.

Keyboard lights up normally.


Very strange, I tried the SMC thing but nothing happened, pressed shift, options, control and power on for 10 seconds, I think the Mac didn't register my clicks. The only button working is the power button.


Any ideas?

For keyboard—Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)
