MAC ESCAPE KEY STUCK INSTALL
If it were a software issue, I would think that doing a clean install 3 times it would have eliminated these issues. If it were a hardware issue, I would think it would have presented itself prior to restoring to factory settings. When I was talking to Apple Support they said I could bring it to Apple because it seems to be a software issue and not a hardware issue. I've tried repairing disk permissions and the disk, but there were no issues. I also tried erasing the drive in recovery mode and installing Snow Leopard rather than first installing Leopard and same issues appeared. The issues presented themselves after installing Leopard. I then used a Snow Leopard bootable USB to upgrade, then upgraded to El Capitan.
MAC ESCAPE KEY STUCK MAC OS
I put in the Leopard Installation Disk, restarted and erased the drive and formatted as MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and installed Leopard. They were able to fix their own computer so no longer need it, but I’m just curious as to what this may be as it’s driving me bonkers and the computer is running great despite this one issue.īy wipe I mean I restored it to factory settings. Someone was looking for a reliable cheap laptop and wanted to clean it up for them. Apple online support stated its software, but after reinstalling the OS multiple times I'm not sure. Confused if this is a hardware or software problem. However I noticed now when typing numbers it makes windows disappear as well (when I started typing Apple ID or PW and entered any number it closed the window). If I hit any other key after booting the problem goes away.
Keyboard viewer doesn’t show any keys being pressed. It makes a constant ding noise after startup as if a key is being pressed and if I click on a drop down the window disappears right away. I can’t reset the PRAM without using terminal as when I boot the phantom key is interrupting the process. The reason I took only one key off is because I setup TextEdit to start on startup and the i’s started populating. This problem wasn’t apparent before I wiped everything. The MacBook has an SSD, upgraded RAM, and a newer battery. I’ve reset the SMC and PRAM, taken the back panel off and cleaned it out, took one of the keys off and cleaned it, reinstalled the OS 3 times, and am not sure what else to do other than bring it to Apple. I wiped my 2008 Aluminum Macbook recently and it’s acting like a key is stuck.
