Solved Macbook Air Keyboard And Trackpad Unresponsive Macbook Air 13 Mid 2011

Chosen Solution

I’ve got an old Macbook Air that boots fine, but when it starts up, the trackpad and keyboard are unresponsive. I’m pretty sure the problem isn’t the input hardware, because they work fine with another logic board in the machine. The weird thing is, I’m able to do an SMC reset, so the logic board (820-3023-A in this case), can still receive input. I’m also unable to use an external keyboard and mouse, though I haven’t tried bluetooth. I was not able to reset or the PRAM or start in safe mode, only an SMC reset works on this logic board.

Hi, I have a MacBook Air A1369 that’s been power off for long time because I don’t have a power cable. I buy a new power cable, MacBook Air power on perfectly but some keyboard keys won’t work. I tried to reset using Command + R but this R key won’t work. I ordered a new keyboard in this page but I don’t see a guide to replace this keyboard. Please let me know where I can find this guide.
