"for me the issue is a glitchy connector for the trackpad cable.

Sometimes it works when I press down the frame between the trackpad and spacebar. Just now when I followed this guide

I realize that the reason it works is because the connector is pressed into the socket. But then it stops again after a while. So today I removed the connector shield and added extra padding to see if that stops the connector to stop dropping out of the socket."

"Hi, I found this link and solved the problem my wife had with her MacBook Pro 13 2015 instantly:

This is taken from the link:

“Shut down the computer.

Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.Press the power button to turn on the computer.Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC”

hope it helps!"

"Hi: This is a question...I wish it were an answer!

I just got a new macbook pro 13"" (2017) and I am also having this problem.

Tried PRAM but could not access the keyboard or the mouse. Also tried holding down the caps key. Tried all the solutions above,

I have an adapter for USB-USBC, so I plugged in an external Apple mouse, and now my cursor works but I still cannot access the keyboard, so I can cannot log in. I plugged in an external keyboard (not Apple), and that also did not work. So I'm stuck....any ideas?"
