My MacBook Pro keyboard suddenly stopped working a couple months ago, and has not fixed itself by leaving it alone and restarting etc. none of the keys are working, although the backlight is still working except for the ‘Y’ key. does anyone know if this is likely a small fix or will I need to replace my keyboard. wondering if it’s a easy fix or more worth saving up for a whole new MacBook it has also stopped recognising the built in speakers most of the time, idk if that’s related
This sounds like your system got wet from a liquid spill into the keyboard or the keyboard connection to the logic board is loose. But as you also lost your speakers which tells me the headphone jack also got wet so I’m really thinking liquid spill here. If we look at the uppercase from the other side we can see there the logic board sits we have the keyboard just on the other side
The cable connection to the logic board for the keyboard and fan is marked in Orange. So you could replace the upper case MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Touch Bar, Late 2016-2017) Upper Case to fix the keyboard. I would first try replacing the MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Touch Bar, Late 2016-2017) Headphone Jack as there are switches which send the signal to the speakers from here, so if this is damaged the speakers won’t work.Then depending on the damage you can replace the Speakers
