Does the keyboard and trackpad share the same connector? I’m not sure why it possibly would, but I’m out of ideas. 2020 13" Retina Intel w/ 4 TB ports boots to welcome screen but neither the internal keyboard nor the trackpad have any response. There is no “click” or haptic feedback in the trackpad either. Before I dive into ordering a replacement trackpad, is it even possible to lose keyboard functionality from a faulty trackpad? External devices seem to work fine, though I’ve only used the external magic trackpad so far. I spent a lot of time in my early career repairing iDevices so I’m very aware of the sensitivity of the connectors, especially the flex cables - though I’ve yet to run into an issue. Any help is appreciated it. It’s a top-spec 2020 and I wouldn’t mind having that in my arsenal. Haha. Thank you in advance.
Same problem with my Macbook Pro 2015. I just replaced flex cable after looking up in the internet but trackpad and keyboard is still unresponsive. I was working on Jupyter Notebook when both keyboard and touchpad became unresponsive in front of my eyes. I thought the system hanged so I restarted with no benefit. Tried resetting SMC or whatever, no benefit. Any idea what should I do now? I can’t go to Apple Store as they’re gonna charge a lot of money. I want to fix things on my own.
