[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1721695, member: 204485"] The other thing is the intermittent nature of the problem. I had this MBP off o/night and no problem logging in just now. And no problem writing this post so far. So to sum up; Have tried all of the repair options, Disk Utility (from the Mac and Restore partition), Onyx, and Malwarebytes just in case. I also tried setting up another user to see if it was specific to my profile but same problem occurred. I am going back to Australia for 2 weeks next month and this MBP is less than 6 months old so that's a plus but my fear is the intermittent nature of the problem may mean that I will be unable to demonstrate it. One thing that may be pertinent is that the problem started occurring during a game. This game requires holding a movement key for an extended time and the first thing I noticed was that forward movement was continuing after releasing the movement key and I had to hit the key again to stop moving forward. But the phenomena happened with the other movement keys and function keys too so it's probably not relevant to the game but I wondered about prolonged holding of a key as an issue. And lastly at two attempts to restart I received a dialogue box stating that my Bluetooth keyboard was not connected and to check my Bluetooth connection. Which would seem to indicate it could not see the internal keyboard at all. I read somewhere that the keyboard has a dedicated battery (correct me if I'm wrong) so I wondered if prolonged holding of keys could flatten that. Mind you I have been playing these type of games for years with never a problem before. I guess I'm grasping at straws here and the keyboard continues to function perfectly this morning. [/QUOTE]
