[QUOTE="TheMacBookPro, post: 1585342, member: 326796"] My MacBook Pro is a late 2009 13-inch model (with Mavericks installed) and I seem to be having a problem with my keyboard. :\ None of the letters are working - the caps lock works and so does the backspace but that's pretty much it. They seem to respond though, as when I press the keys the mouse pointer disappears as if I'm typing even though nothing types into the login screen password box (most likely a software issue then). I can't check if it's MouseKeys or turn it off because I'm not logged in, and can't log in, so have no access to my System Preferences. The enter/return key works, but it types in letters into the password box and so does the O key but it types backwards (the letters type away rather than with the cursor blinker if that makes sense; see video below) Anyone have a solution? I need urgent access to my Mac. Many thanks. :) Video of problem: [url=http://youtu.be/dHtKltrDcS8]IMG_2996 - YouTube[/url] Sorry for terrible 3GS video quality [/QUOTE]
