    Hi all,

    I don't know what's happened, but my trackpad & keyboard have just stopped working on my MBP.

    I was sitting on the bus, just watching movies, went to change apps and they just won't respond, at all.

    Only things I can think of:
    Logic board failure (aka, I'm fecked now)
    10.6.5 update (I did the 1Gb combo update)
    New cheapo battery (though it won't work even without a battery).

    Can anyone recommend a diagnostic for me to run?

    *EDIT*
    Fixed.
    Turns out it was a loose ribbon cable in the battery bay -- in effect, it WAS due to the replacement battery! :rolleyes:

    Possible the keyboard connector on the board popped out with vibration it is not the most "stuck in" connector on the board.

    pop the screws and take a look (you wont void your warranty) its visible right above the battery its an appx inch wide ribbon cable

    The fact the trackpad went as well is worrying though :-S .. did you do a reset? hold power button till off .. hold again until after the power light flickers and it turns back on.

    -nice job :) -
