If they work, its a problem with your Topcase. You can test this by plugging in an external keyboard and mouse. When that wire fails to connect or the trackpad has some problem with it, both the keyboard and trackpad cease to operate. The problem was this: There is only one wire that makes the connection between the mainboard and the trackpad component. Basically the problem is related to how the Topcase connects to the mainboard. I took it in to a Genius at the Apple Store and they resolved it in less than an hour by replacing the Topcase (the part your hands rest on including the trackpad but not the keyboard). I could power down with holding down the power button but the problem would continue at random during use. I had the same issue, my keyboard and trackpad were locking up after a period of use. I just fixed this problem on my MacBook Pro and thought I would share what resolved it.

After researching the problem on these forums, I booted into SAFE mode and did the Archive and Install, which restored my system. My MacBook Pro froze on normal boot last November. All sounds are extremely low, iTunes, iMovies and iDVD (and probably many other stuff) doesn't work in SAFE mode. Assuming you can work your keyboard and touchpad in SAFE mode, I would do a system backup (I believe I ran a Time Machine backup successfully in SAFE mode) first, just to preserve your data for a worst-case scenario. When it works (which depends on how bad things are with you), all your installed programs are preserved and your data is untouched, while a copy of our old system is saved to a folder called PREVIOUS SYSTEM in case not everthing got migrated properly.

Just wondering if your experience is related to mine at all?Īssuming your system software, like key and mouse driver got corrupted, and you can boot your MacBook into SAFE mode (see edge777's post), why don't you try an "Archive and Install" from the MacBook Install CD. I did spend some time on the phone with Apple Support, and although they were friendly, they had no idea regarding this issue (although it has showed up on some forums, generally with Macbooks and Macbook Pros).

So, I restored to an image earlier than the USB patch and now everything is working fine (I've rebooted several times).
I'm thinking that patch messed something up with my computer. It got me thinking, a few weeks back I upgraded to 10.5.6, and a couple days ago, I had installed the USB patch to allow my iPhone to connect in DFU mode. Everything worked, but when I rebooted, the mouse and keyboard were locked again. I booted using my Leopard install DVD, and backed up to the most recent Time Machine image that I had. I was able to boot into safe mode (holding the shift key right after the tone), which led me to believe it was a software issue, and not a hardware issue. Everything was working fine, I shut-down my Macbook, took it to a meeting, booted it up, and the keyboard and mouse would not respond (including bluetooth and USB).
