Macbook Air (Early 2011) Upon booting up the mac couldn’t successfully search for the keyboard. I intend to get this fixed myself. Please advise.
So you are saying the keys on the built in keyboard are not working? Or that you are trying to connect a bluetooth keyboard? In either case, if you have a USB keyboard laying around, plug it in and see if it works on your Mac. You can also try an NVRAM reset, where you hold Command-Option-P-R until you hear two chimes and then let it boot normally.
