Reasons Why MacBook Keyboard Is Not Working
MacBook keyboard malfunction may be due to one of the following reasons:
- Dust and dirt : MacBook devices with a butterfly keyboard mechanism also have gaps under the keys to create the feeling of an accelerated movement. Dust that fills these gaps can cause you to not feel the press when you press the key. Sometimes the key may not press or you may have to press hard to get feedback.
- Liquid contact : If you spilled water, milk, coffee, or a cold drink on your Mac and the liquid got into the internal parts of the keyboard, the keys may not work. In this case, it would be a good idea to replace the MacBook Air keyboard.
- There may be a software-related problem : The problem with your keyboard may be entirely software-related. If you say ''MacBook keyboard is not working'', you first need to restart your computer and check which version you are using from the software update section.
- Slow Keys Settings : On the Mac, slow keys settings can be used to increase the response time for certain keys. When this setting is on, you have to hold down a key instead of just pressing it to get it to respond. To turn slow keys settings on or off on your MacBook, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard .
- Other keyboard settings : Incorrect MacBook keyboard settings can cause one or more keys on your keyboard to stop working. To do this, take a look at the keyboard's input source settings. Make sure all settings, such as keyboard layout and keyboard language, are correct.
- Low battery level : A very low battery level can cause your computer to freeze or slow down. If your MacBook keyboard is slow, plug it in and wait for it to recover some power.
