the built in keyboard does not seem to be responsive for zxcvbnm (off the top of my head… not on it right now). however when I connect an external keyboard via usb, it works fine. is this a logic board problem? (Liquid damage?) or is this simply a keyboard issue? i did notice when I was on finder and clicking on folders, each folder I clicked on remained highlighted…. Don’t know if that’s significant. Don’t know if the left command is causing issues. I inspected the site of the keyboard connector on the logic board. Seems fine. There was a spill and I see one or 2 spots of blue here and there on the logic board (nowhere near the keyboard connector though). the mousepad also seems unresponsive on the middle bit of the pad as well.
I think this is a keyboard problem. The easiest way to fix this is to get a used upper case and follow the guide here.
