Trackpad and keyboard both not working - MacBook Air A2179
crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:
About two months ago, both Trackpad and Keyboard have both stopped working on my 2020 Macbook air retina at the same time. At first, the keyboard was acting erratic and the touchpad took a while to respond to my inputs. After closing the laptop and leaving it for 2 hours, both the trackpad and keyboard are no longer functional. I attempted a system update which made everything worse; now instead of going to the login screen, I am prompted with "an update is required to use this startup disk" along with a really slow boot time. I tried replacing the trackpad cable myself but this did not work and the keyboard and trackpad are still not working.[br]
