What's funny is that I didn't even launched it. My son asked me to install minecraft fo him on my mac. I even thought of sharing the story on forums, but decided that the solution is already on it so it'll be a waste of time. all keys worked!Īt this time I had to admit it was a hardware problem and close the case. After putting it back together I turned it on and. So having nothing to lose I teared apart my Mac to the ground, took some alcohol (for cleaning) an canned air and went through all pieces one by one.
So digging deeper a found some forums for repair services, and there were some talks about voltage on connectors, and on another one someone said that he just had to clean the connectors.
If you have the same case, read along and maybe you can find your answer. But after system boot it just didn't anymore. At this time I was sure that it must be software related because as you know by now reseting the rams requires the alt key to be pressed. Reseting PRAM, VRAM, deleting the keybord files, system reinstall, you name it. But some stated that this could be a software problem and so I started digging. Most of them ended with "replace the keyboard". I've noticed that that's a common problem and read all there is on forums.
Shortly after my left alt did the same thing. Couple of weeks later it died, no response. About six months ago my left shift started failing. But it's not because of cleaning it must be a software problem. TLDR: I've teared mac to pieces, cleaned it, put it back together and it worked. I think that someone can take it from here an maybe help more people with this problem. I'm telling the whole story because frankly I don't know what's the problem really, just made it working. are the buttons grouped together on one pin which I could attempt to clean etc)Īny help, info or suggestions would be VERY much appreciated!!Īnother solution. The clock reset so I assume this worked?ĭoes anyone know if one of the connectors on the ribbon cable signify these three buttons? (i.e. resetting the SMC - as I cannot do this with the keys, I removed the battery and held down the power button for 5 seconds. resetting the PRAM with right option, control, P + R. This morning when I turned it on I noticed that the left shift, left control and left option keys are all unresponsive (checked with the onscreen keyboard). Last night after putting it all back together it booted on and I swear the left shift key worked as did everything else. So I ordered a new keyboard/backlight and fitted it to the top case. The laptop suffered from a spillage and the result was the left shift key was always on. Hey, really hoping one of you could help me with my problem.
