Hi! Sorry for necroing this, but my MacBook Pro Late 2011 has exactly the same problem! It started to happen after my trackpad’s flat cable broke. Is my board faulty now? Or is it worth trying to replace the flat?
=== Update (09/29/2020) ===
Hello Dan! I had necro’ed an old post and it got merged I guess (it was the only case similar to mine in my whole search). So here we go:
I bought this MacBook Pro 15 Late 2011 from a friend. It was overheating, so I bought a new thermal paste to apply. Everything was working fine though, and in the proccess I accidentally broke the trackpad’s flat cable. Sad, but it’s ok cause it’s replaceable. I would use an USB mouse in the meanwhile, but now my keyboard is semiresponsive: if I type fast, it detects only some keys, like it is lagging. On Keyboard settings, the option “Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys” is blinking. I read from the post I originally commented on that it could be a faulty board, due to overheating. But before taking a new step, I’d like to know if it is worth trying to replace the flat cable. Thanks!
