Q: Keyboard shortct for turning on Computer
I dropped my MacBook Air and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working. I took it to the Genius Bar and the repair was going to be $700. Instead of repairing, I am going to eventually buy a new MacBook Air and restore from my old one. The guy told me to buy a wired keyboard and mouse and I would be able to back it up. The problem is, I can't turn the computer on if the power button is on the installed keyboard and it is not working. The guy at the Genius Bar used some kind of shortcut on a wired keyboard to turn on my computer. I don't remember what he did and didn't realize it until I got home. Does anybody know how I can get it to turn on or should I go back?
MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), iOS 8.1.2, I have a Mac air, iPhone and iPad.
