  • Thermal Problem - MacBook keyboard is not working properly

    I have a strange problem which I have never seen beeing reported before. While working with battery power everything works normal. When loading the battery or under heavy processor load the Macbook heats up and the keyboard has the following problem: the number keys 1 to 9 (and only them) do not work any more. If the Macbook cools down, the number keys start to work again.
    What can be the problem ?

    Sounds like you may have a circuit laminate problem with the keyboard. You need to contact apple to get help for this problem.

  • MacBook keyboard is not working properly, highlights randomly

    Over 2 years ago my MacBook was fixed for liquid damage, hot tea was spilled on it while it was closed.  Just recently it started acting up, highlights randomly, cursor jumps around while I am typing, thus deleting what I have typed and etc.  Please, is there any remedy I can do myself, at home?  

    Your alt (aka opt or ⌥) key is stuck down. This seems to be quite common these days.
    Try teasing it up with the corners of two credit cards or similar flexible, non-conducting tools.
    If that doesn't work, the wafer switch underneath may be damaged, in which case it'll need to go in for service.

    You cannot download the upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Keyboard commands not working with pen tablet attached to MacBook Pro

  • My Macbook Pro keyboard AND USB keyboard will not work.  However, the trackpad and USB mouse will work.  Any help?

    My Macbook Pro keyboard and USB keyboard will not work.  However, the trackpad and USB mouse will work.  Any help?
    This is quite frustrating, since it randomly occured as I was browsing the web.  It seemed to happen out of nowhere.  I cannot login to my user account because I cannot type my password. 
    Any help will be appreciated.
    -Matt

    If you have another Mac, boot the non-working one into Target Disk Mode (holding down "T" at startup). Hook up the two Macs via a Firewire cable. The non-working one will mount on the other Mac as an external Firewire HD.
    Next, download the 10.5.6 Combo update from here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1056comboupdate .html
    Run it. When it asks you for a destination, choose the other Mac that was mounted via Firewire. When it's done, unmount the computer and restart it. The keyboard and mouse should work now.

  • MacBook Pro Backlit Keyboard does not work

    Hello all!
    I recently bought a used MacBook Pro (late 2008, 2.4 GHz Core2Duo) and the backlight on the keyboard does not work. I have reset the SMC and the PRAM, I have the latest firmware (EMI and SMC) and still no luck. I am hoping this isn't a hardware issue, but what can I do to fix this?

    I think there is a sensor on the top left. It looks like  a little speaker thing. If you swipe your finger over it, it activates/deactivates it. I read this somewhere online. Works for me most of the time if it's not lighting up and showing the 'no/stop' symbol.

  • Keyboard trackpad not working

    All of a sudden my keyboard and trackpad don't work on my Macbook. USB keyboards and mice work fine. I took off the keyboard and tried it on another Macbook and it worked fine. Don't know if any recent updates or firmware changes have been done. Any ideas of how to fix or is this a motherboard issue?

    Hi today we were having a yard sale. A family member needed to use a computer and used mine. When i got it back from they left in a hurry.
    Well I opened it clicked a few things with my "wireless mightymouse" and went to type keyboard did not work so i tried the track pad. So i found this post looking on the web. looked other placess. thought i would shut it down as soon as it went off it immediately turned back on. so i tried again. no luck so i took out the batery unpluged it. Then it would not turn on. Apple is sending a box by monday. I told them i think it is a logicboard="motherboard" problem.
    But till then im going to a computer store to obtian my data off my MacBook

  • Keyboard does not work after using Support Drivers

    I have a Macbook Pro 4,1 15" 2.4GHz C2D, and managed to get Bootcamp installed on it with Win7 Home Pro. I have verified that it runs correctly, but it is missing many of the drivers needed to make things run smoothly. I no longer have my Leopard disks that the machine came, so I figured the WindowsSupportDrivers would be the way to go.
    When I install them and reboot, the keyboard does not work. When I hit capslock, I get the caution notice indicating underneath my password field indicating the capslock key is on, so it's not like my entire keyboard is disabled. The system is unusable right now, since I have to enter my password to login, and it does not take any keyboard input. Using an external keyboard did not resolve this issue.
    I did a system restore to get it back to a usable state for the time being.
    Is there an alternative to the BCA support drivers or the Leopard disk? What's going on with my keyboard after the driver update?

    Maybe you have installed obsolete drivers. If you have Lion, open Boot Camp Assistant (Applications > Utilities) in OS X and download Boot Camp drivers

  • Macbook New Topcase Not Working

    So after i figure out the problem i was having before in my previous discussion, i threw away the new topcase that was working completely fine for a few months and used an external mouse and keyboard til i could find another one.
    Low and behold i bought a new black topcase,excited to finally have my frankenbook finally finished. Plugged it into the logic board, powered on fine..... and what do you know, the trackpad and keyboard do not work! The power button also refuses to work once it is on, only time it works is when i boot it up. I have looked into issues with new topcase's not working and that they need a new SMC firmware update.Tried downloading the update which my computer says i do not need as it is upto date
    Macbook 2.4 ghz early 2008
    4.1
    1.3f1
    Has anyone figured out how to fix this issue?
    I have read that sometimes the connector on the logic board can become loose but i have checked it and all seems fine. Really annoying as there was no issues when i bought the logic board and new topcase and used it for month's, then the old issue before of my screen dying due to one of the pins under the topcase shorting something out. Then the topcase itself completely stopped working, now finally have a new topcase and the bloody thing will still not work!!
    Only thing i am going to try out now is to buy a new cable that connects the topcase to the logic board and see if that helps... although the topcase was new anyway so the cable should work fine.
    In hindsight i wish i just bought a used blackbook off ebay instead of building one myelf

    Ok here is an update, formatted my Hard drive and tarted from scratch, installed Snow Leopard and after it had installed it said that it could not detect a keyboard at all. Could this be a Logic board issue then? I do not understand a the previous keyboard had worked fine but then screwed up, could this be a problem with the board and that the previous topcase was still functional?
    Someone please help
