Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009). Darn lucky they don't sell cars!!! RECALL?''' Glad I know the fix so when mine packs up I won't be so terrified! Her's came VERY close to finding the recycling bin. If it were a hardware issue I would presume that SMC & PRAM resets would have ZERO results, as opposed to working for ten to twenty seconds. Personally I think it's a firmware glitch somewhere on that particular hardware that is referred to as the Top Case. I don't believe for one second that it's a hardware issue as APPLE has told so many. So Apple owes me a couple six packs of beer after making me pay them 20 bucks to fix their fault.

After running the full update she now has her wonderful baby back and it's even running faster.

It's only 19.95, and I did it as a last resort instead of throwing it out, as I had seen many comments regarding a $1300 repair for the same exact symptoms. I then figured the last option was to update to Mountain Lion 10.8.5.

After doing so I still found the same glitch.

Using external keyboard and mouse, run a full OS restore.

First off, obviously back up all your important files externally using the functionality allowed by the connected keyboard and mouse. This allows you to run the SMC and PRAM functions. NOTE: The Power key actually should be working when none of there other keys do.

I was furious that a 1.5 year old MacBook Air in perfect condition came up with a false repair that cost more than it did! Shame on APPLE for not addressing this properly!!! The fix was clearly built into Mountain Lion (OS-X 10.8.5) and they have not told us! Everybody should get the free Mountain Lion (OS-X 10.8.5) upgrade! Personally I think Apple is avoiding admitting to a fix due to a Mud on the Face reaction. There's nothing to lose if it works and the process below will likely work if it does not. I didn't try it because the machine is working perfectly after all I did.

Usually I try everything before performing an OS restore but nothing would clean it not even an OS restore! But an upgrade and Presto!Īfter all I went through I would recommend a possible fix that could save you lots of time.

NOPE! That's when I knew something was up.

High sierra macbook air keyboard light wont turn off Bluetooth#

I used my wireless bluetooth Apple keyboard to see if it would even see it. When I'd look at trackpad in preferences, the onboard settings were gone! and replaced with the bluetooth trackpad hunting window. It's never even been near one in it's life. Mostly it allowed me to narrow down the problem and the capability of troubleshooting it.Īs a side note is that this whole problem seemed to clearly be that the MacBook Air was thinking it had Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad peripherals nearby. The best tools for the whole job were a wired external keyboard and a USB wired or wireless mouse, because they allowed me repair and to orchestrate the process without freezing. Then resetting PRAM made it a bit better, to the degree for less than a minute. I could get them to work momentarily after a SMC Reset. My mothers MacBook Air 13" suddenly became unresponsive with both the keyboard and trackpad. Macbook Air 13" Frozen keyboard and trackpad I hadn't read about anyone with an Air experiencing the same problem.Īny help would be appreciated.I would love to get my Air working so I don't have to constantly use my external keyboard/mouse.Įdit: The only key that works on the keyboard is the power button. I'm wondering if it's possibly the same problem for me with my MacBook Air. What's a bit more unsettling is that, in the System Preferences, it's not even recognizing a trackpad as being connected.Īfter doing some searching around, I've found that some people ran into this issue with MacBook Pros, and it was because of a ribbon that had become loose underneath the battery. After coming home, my keyboard and trackpad are both unresponsive. The unresponsive trackpad was the only problem I've run into with this Mac.Īfter some brief surfing around this morning, I went to work with my MacBook running fine as usual. Since the repair, I haven't experienced any other problems. My trackpad was replaced by Apple in September of 2012 as it gradually began to become unresponsive.

I bought my Macbook Air in September of 2011 new from the Apple store.
