MacBook Air m3 keyboard not responding My MacBook Air m3 keyboard randomly stopped working. The day before I noticed the keys were not responding sometimes and then I woke up the next day tried typing in my password and no response. Since then I have had to spam click keys in order to get it to work but still it is not responding sometimes and is slow. Since yesterday It has fully stopped working no matter how hard I try to get it to type. Any suggestions? [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: MacBook keyboard

Non-functioning keyboard on Macbook Air 2022 Internal keyboard not working on Macbook Air M2. No physical accidents. The trackpad works but has not haptic sensory. I'm using an external keyboard. Updated osTahoe 26.1 today. I've been to genius bar and they said computer doesn't recognize the keyboard (internal). Another probem that's popped up is automatic restart after I shut this laptop down. Can't get that stopped. So, It goes to sleep then restarts and runs down the battery if not plugged in. I've tried suggestions I've seen online but so far no luck. Any ideas for a fix? This is just shy of 2 yrs old :-( Of course, no apple care on it. drats. but I've been a mac user since the mid 90s and this is the 1st issue i've ever had. What's up with the short keyboard shelf life of this expensive little machine?

Try and restart the Mac by pressing the power button 10 seconds and after that try and boot it back on to see if the issues persist

Most of the things I found just said do a simple reset. But I also found this, although I’m not sure how it’s gonna help if your keyboard is unresponsive.
