All i found so far. Seems like the OP was having a similar problem were the keys were mixed with another key function. I don't know if that will help, but I'll do a little more searching.

OP here had a problem with keys acting up as well. They had him do a PRAM, NVRAM, PMU reset, which solved his problem.

This one talks about keys not working in general. I don't think this would be the solution since it has you disassemble your Macbook, but who knows it might.

It sounds like the Macbook keyboards have a lot of problems. I would try to contact Apple or see if you can trade it for a new one. Hope those websites help!

My buddy just had to take his Macbook in to get its keyboard replaced. Probably what you are going to have to do.

Ok so this is what you are going to do.


Go into system prefs.

> Keyboard/Mouse
> Modifier Keys (Bottom left)
> Restore Defaults.

Sham wow!
