    MacBook Pro 1502 820-4924 Keyboard and Trackpad do not work

    Hi,

    I have 820-4924 board that has keyboard and trackpad problem. I suspect it is logic board issue.

    I was told that in attempt to repair MagSafe charger wires were mixed up and therefore it does not power on.

    Using PSU machine starts and is stuck at the folder with question mark. If I put USB drive with macOS it start in the installation wizard, but keyboard and trackpad do not work.

    I checked voltages at the keyboard and trackpad connector:

    PP3V3_S4_TPAD 3.3V
    PP3V42_G3H_TPAD 3.42V
    WS_KBD_ONOFF_L 3.42V
    PP5V_S4_TPAD_F 5V

      Remove the keyboard cable to the logic board.

      Then use an external usb keyboard and mouse to confirm it all works.

      You may have a defective trackpad to logic board cable / connector mating issue. Check for liquid spill. On the thin flex cables, be sure they are mating firmly and are deep enough and inside the latching pcb connector. These are friction fit so the contacts must mate.

          There's no liquid spill, board is clean. Before charger was messed up keyboard and trackpad were working. SSD was working.

              Macbook A2338 M2 (EMC 8162) keyboard not functioning, trackpad is working
              by Vliegenier04
              Hi! This Mac has been an headscratcher for me, I can't seem to figure out the issue. The Macbook has gotten water damage to the front of the keyboard connector and battery connector. The keyboard connector was dead, by which I mean it was completely corroded and I have replaced it with a brand new one.
              I have verified all the pins are connected to the main board and the main voltages (PP1V8_AONSW_KBD_ISNS and PP3V3_AON_KBD_CONN) are both present, with and without keyboard attached.

              Unfortunately, the keyboard does NOT want to work, caps lock LED not functioning as well as any...

              MacBook Pro A1989 trackpad and keyboard not working
              by biosdi
              Hi guys.
              I Just replaced battery on my MacBook Pro A1989. Unfortunately doing that, I’ve broken the trackpad flex cable (821-01701-a), and I’ve already ordered a spare one. At the same moment I’ve noticed that also the keyboard it’s not working anymore and I’ve found an SMD chip unsoldered and moving freely inside the backplate. I can read L20L on the chip. Is something could explain the keyboard not working or the keyboard doesn’t work due the unconnected trackpad?




              thanks...

              A2681 Keyboard, trackpad and sleep?!
              by iMuhtaseb
              Wow it's been a while since I posted!

              This is a weird case, it has a history of liquid spill a year ago but customer did not want to replace neither trackpad or keyboard.. fast forward for today:

              A2681 turns on but not trackpad or keyboard feedback (or external keyboard and mouse) and then after a minute or so the Mac sleeps..

              It's a NOT a sleep sensor or trackpad or keyboard or daughterboard or anything else (I replaced all those); it's the logic board..

              Tested another locked logic board on customer's top case and it posted with keyboard and...

              Macbook M1 820-02016 Keyboard -Trackpad stop working after a while
              by oemelectronic
              Hi friends.
              This model has a very weird fault.
              Macbook Air M1 A2337 - 820-02016
              it works for a while and after a few minutes the TRACKPAD AND KEYBOARD stops working
              I already formatted, I already changed flex and trackpad. The error continues, I tried with another keyboard and the same error happens.
              works for a while and then stops working trackpad and keyboard
              (i rebooted and it works again, after a few minutes the failure returns)
              THE BOARD LOOKS VERY CLEAN and IMPECCABLE

              Thanks
