![]() ![]() Has it really been that long since the late S.J. Two days ago after connecting to my Apple TB monitor at home with and Apple USB keyboard (and BT trackpad) connected I experienced the same malfunction of the volume keys as stated above in one of our families MBA and I’m pretty sure it’s due to really unstable OSX nowadays. I’ve experienced this on two MBP and am pretty fed up with it since the battery and whatever damage it makes isn’t covered by warranty and Apple doesn’t take responsibility for faulty design. The trackpad was probably damaged by a bulging battery pushing and breaking the trackpad due to poor design. It is difficult to believe that the repair may have caused this because all the buttons do work properly, but does other things. I didnt have this problem before the repair. Notice that all the keys do work and nothing is damaged on the hardware, because when I press them they do work but in other ways. I have tried PRAM and these kind of things without any luck. Still! I can't manage to get the factory commands back. Unchecking the F1, F2 as standard keys etc. I have been into the whole keyboard options and have done almost everything like ticking off the mission control settings. Instead my volume button takes me to the dashboard with a whole new commands for these buttons. When I press them they do work correctly, but they don't do the stock commands like turning the volume up, down, brightness, next song etc. After I turned on my Mac everything was working perfectly including my new trackpad.īut! Then I found out that my Function keys don't work properly. If you notice any bugs or problems, or just have a comment, please let me know.So yesterday I successfully changed my Macbook Pro Early 2015 trackpad.Īll the parts were put on right places and nothing left wrong.
