- MacBook Pro Trackpad and Keyboard Issue (Fix!)
I’m teaching last week and my trusty MacBook freezes and won’t allow me to use my track pad or any of the keys... I still had one more class to go and I didn’t have time to go to Apple and replace the part, so I had to use my ingenuity ASAP! After scouring the internet for about 20 mins, I was unable to find a “quick fix” so I started getting “hands-on” in a desperate attempt to fix the track-pad/ Keyboard. At some point I decided to plug my classroom projector into the hdmi port as I reset my computer and “viola”! It worked! Not sure exactly how or whether or not it will work for you, but if you are desperate and need a quick fix, it wouldn’t hurt to try, right? Please lmk if you know why this does work or if it helped. (Shout out to all my teachers out there helping shape the world. (Hopefully for the better) And if you aren’t a teacher 👩🏫 👨🏫, I still hope you find this useful! Peace ✌️ and positivity!B

You are welcome!❤
You saved 2 years of medschool.
Thank you
After being on with Apple for 3 hours
I found a UA-cam video with the least complicated solution of all the UA-cam videos.
plug in an hdmi.
Turn it off.
Turn it on.
And unplug hdmi.
And now my mouse and keyboard works again. Man is a wizard
This worked for me with my 2015 MacBook pro. Took 3 tries re-starting computer hooked up to my TV through an HDMI. Keyboard and trackpad started working again after unsuccessfully trying all the other recommended resets online. Thanks so much!!
Worked out for me today 04/15/2022. Thanks!!!!
Did you had the same message this dude has? That there is not a keyboard connected?
Thank you. I had the black screen of death and this within the same night. I appreciate you taking the time.
I have both problems today as well. How did you fix the trackpad and keyboard issue?
A quick update here easier. ( cheap way )
When you power on press left CMD button and hold until screen comes on.
From that moment the keyboard and mouse should work
Legend bro, appreciate you !

Me too!
Unbelievable, it works. Thanks a lot. You just fixed my issue.
Hey Ken. This worked as of right now.

I don’t have HDMI port on my MacBook Air, I have same problem keyboard and touchpad not working…
Me too i can’t find anything on it.
@@urieladair8696 same. This happened to me about 3 hours ago while watching a movie
Me too , I’m facing the same issue right now. How did you solve it ?
@@vruddhibhayani4904 when it happened to me there was a pending update and the problem was fixed after the update was installed.
@@sivad_official5158 how did you install it
guys, it's not a hardware problem but a software issue
Alt+Comand+R+P reset, turned off Bluetooth, and changed my resolution to normal FIXED!!
No more stuttering as well while scrolling.
Actually, it was. It was a track pad sensor that was faulty. Ultimately it cost me $80 to replace because this method no longer worked after about 3 months. I appreciate the post. Maybe you can make a tutorial not stuttering and I’ll repost your link. Hope you and your family are safe and well during this time.
Had to try it a few time before it worked, but in the end it did. Thanks magician!
This actually worked thanks.
That worked for me, thanks
Thank you so much🙏🙏
You're a savior
Man this worked..!!! I’m so thankful to you mate. If you’re in Mumbai I owe you a beer👍🏼
Dear, pls help me....i'm not able to fix the issue
Raj kumar Connect it to HDMI cable and restart. That should work. Just follow the instructions in the video.
Thank you! This worked like a miracle! Wonderful!
Glad it helped!

It really works! Thank you so much 🙏🏻

How did you find a solution because I’m having the same issue
@@marksax1596 still haven’t sadly
@@ayse.4 I’m sadly in the same scenario
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! YOURE A LIFE SAVER!!!!! 😭😭😭
Thank You so much this saved my life
Thanks bro! For whatever reason..this worked, haha
Thanks mate.
It just work like a charm.
This worked!! Thank you! 🙏🏾
Wow that actually work. Thanks!
OMG thank you so much my keypad and keyboard finally works thank you
You’re welcome. This was only a tempo fix for me. After a few more moths, the trackpad sensor ultimately died and needed to be replaced. It cost me $80 to replace the trackpad through Apple.
Worked like a charm!!
Thank u so much it's really working ❤️
IT IS WORKING!!! Thank you very much!
idk why this worked....but it did.. thank you
ok im still so confused on why that actually worked, thanks man!
Yea, I’m not sure either. But I know it worked for me. I’m glad it is helping people. Just FYI, this was only a temporary fix. I kept doing it until my trackpad sensor completely stopped working. It ended up costing me $80 to replace the trackpad sensor from Apple. There are videos online where you could purchase the pieces and replace yourself if you have the time and resources. I hope you and your family are staying safe. Take care bud!
Omg 😭😭😭 thank you it actually worked
This worked for me! DAMNNN, thank you.
Work at the end 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
THANK YOU I DID THIS WITHOUT AN HDMI CORD BUT IT WORKED THANK YOU!
Mines doesn’t have HDMI port so I just rebooted it and moved the cursor as it’s loading in and it came in fine but thanks anyway!
How
Worked perfect. Used a phone charger. No idea. Thanks.
How did you use a phone charger for this
Just plugged it in to my telly and wow, after an hour of resetting the damn thing it works 🤷♂️
Oh my God this just worked. So insane!!
I'm guessing here but I think it's got something to do with a failed no installed apple update this plugging into the port causes of forces the laptop and update software to run again but successfully install the hi etc hardware update that's failing is my guess just cuz of how it works essentially. But another person said they saw an update screen that finished after this and it fixed hers
Than is a lot. Got my laptop back after 3 days.
Idk how that worked but it did! Even apple couldn’t help me! Hahah
Thank you! It worked for me
!
Sadly it did not work for me
Me too
OMG THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH🙏🏽
This worked for me!! Thanks!! Just wondering -- how long does it stay good before it might go bad again after plugging an HDMI cable? I'm a teacher, and I would hate to have this happen during class on Zoom!
Could you fix this problem?
Thank you. It worked for me.
Thanks buddy..helped
THANK YOU!!!
I have a macbook air 2015 and i dont have a hdmi ...
You have saved my life 🌹
I have this problem but I don’t have a HDMI on my MacBook 😞
I love you thank you so much
Ok wow. Thanks!
My hero!
Merci beaucoup 🙏🏾, ( thank you very much, God bless you)
I have exactly the same problem and I think its taking place because of using a proyector. I have the problem since I started using it at work. I tried what you did but It doesn't work to me :_( Thanks anyway . I think your video looks crazy buy It can work for someone
Helped me too! Thanks a lot.
Thank you greatly, and God bless, the problem is solved
Please help me.. i have a same problem.. but i am unable to understand this procedure.. please help me.. please
Step 1: Get an hdmi cord that’s plugged into a device: tv, projected, PlayStation, etc...
Step 2: power off
Step 3: turn power on, while moving finger on track pad.
4: If nothing happens, try unplugging hdmi and plugging in while computer is loading.
If none of these thing work, it might be another issue.
Thank you so much
thank bro you so good
Thank you it work for me
Yes, it worked with me! But when I unplug the HDMI it freezes again:( what’s the permanent solution for this?
It finally broke and cost me 80$ to fix at the apple store. It was a trackpad sensor issue or something to that effect. This is only a temporary fix. Sorry. 😐
@@kennethhorne7469 I have the same problem, was it only something wrong with your trackpad, nothing wrong with keyboard? Thanks
Juan Quiroz It was a “track pad sensor” issue according to the APPLE employee who I took it to. It cost 80$ to replace. The hdmi trick was a temporary fix until my computer failed completely. After reading these posts, I think cleaning the ports may be a possible solution? But again, I am not 100%. Thanks for the reply. I hope it was useful. 👍
Kenneth Horne hi kenneth, can you advise is it a cable or just a sensor?
Yoshi黑柴吉 It was only the trackpad sensor.
Wow! I tried this for shits and giggles and it actually worked!!!! Thanks!!
I’ve been trying to clean it lol
I have the new macbook air and it doesn’t have the hdmi port, any solution?
what happens if i don’t have an hdmi port :(
Dude you saved me! Thanks a ton man.
No problem brother. Glad to be of assistance. Stay safe!!!
W thank you🙏
