[QUOTE="MYmacROX, post: 1075836, member: 92466"] I'm resurrecting this because I experienced an unresponsive trackpad AND keyboard today on my MBP. I would like to see if anyone knows how/why this happens and what the solution could be. I wish I had thought to try my wireless mouse when it happened but I was in a state of shock/panic. I restarted holding down the power button, inserted my SL DVD and restarted from there. Then ran Disk Utility from the DVD, verified and repaired permissions, verified and repaired disk. The trackpad and keyboard were fine once I restarted but I thought it best to run D.U. From the SL DVD right away. I'm currently backing up my MBP with TM and CCC, while typing this from my iPad. I really hope it's just the HDD cause that's an easy and affordable solution. My MBP's specs are in my details. I'm running SL 10.6.4 and Safari 5. Thanks in advance. :) [/QUOTE]
