mac pro keyboard not working with windows os

Issue occurs most frequently when I boot up with the charger plugged in.

I'm also having this issue! Currently using a 2015 13” MacBook Pro Retina. Hope this helps everyone, easy 10 minute fix and a $12.00 part Tools required - 1 Pentalobe 5 (P5) screwdriver for the case, 1 T5 (torx)screwdriver for the battery/trackpad cover.Īmazon ribbon cable for Macbook Pro 13' Retina early 2015

Saved my self 400.00 from taking it to Apple. I ordered the cable from Amazon for a whopping $12.00 CAN and had it in 4 days, installed it and man do ever like using my keypad and trackpad now!!!!! Works great and right away. I tried the fridge method to see if I had a swollen battery, did not change.įinnaly i decided to order the trackpad ribbon cable, to me it was the only thing that made any sence since it wasnt a software issue, or a hardware issue. I checked my battery with Coconut to see if it was ok, and it was. I reformatted my drive and installed a fresh OS, didnt work. It gradually became worse to every day and having to reboot the Mac to sometimes get it back, sometimes it worked, some times it did not.

OK, have the fix for you and its a simple one! First, I will rundown my issue so there will be no question as to what the issue was! Started off by randomly losing my keypad and trackpak, mayby once a few weeks. While its possible to replace the keyboard alone its a lot of work and if you’re not careful the visible part of the case can get damaged and/or the keyboard may not be fully mounted. Otherwise you'll likely need a new top case as the keyboard is part of it. If your upto it pop off the bottom cover to inspect the ribbon cable to see if its correctly seated. Here’s the needed part MacBook Pro 13' Retina (Late 2012-Early 2013) Battery Sadly iFixit can’t ship via air, so you may need to go to a more local source. You’ll need a new battery follow this guide MacBook Pro 13' Retina Display Late 2012 Battery Replacement its a bit of work so be sure you can do it. If they are the issue is the battery pressing on the top case from below. Take it out and quickly turn it on, see if the keyboard and track pad are working. Place the laptop into your refrigerator for about an 2 hours to drop its temp. To test for the battery problem, put your laptop into a plastic bag making sure to pull out as much air out as you can. The last possibility is the battery has swelled pressing from under the keyboard causing it to fail.Something was spilled into the keyboard and it took a bit of time to damage the connections.The keyboard/track pad ribbon cable from the top case is not seated correctly into the logic board connector (or damaged).
