I recently bought a MacBook off 2006.
But it doesn't work properly, the internal keyboard and touchpad do not work.
The previous owner told me that he had installed the MacBook with a Dell keyboard and therefore he thought that 'custom' firmware was installed. This initially seemed a strange story, but when I took the test my Apple keyboard does not work (external) and a Dell keyboard (external) does work.
So with this keyboard (Dell) i've installed Snow Leopard from a formatted drive.
In summary, what it comes down to the keyboard and mouse only work externally. Could this really a Firmware / software related problem?
