Chosen Solution
The keyboard of my MBP is failing. It gives all kinds of false presses, and sometimes the computer doesn’t even turn on. I ordered one, but will take a couple weeks to arrive. Can I simply disconnect it, and use the computer with an external USB keyboard?
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext/ — disable keyboard sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext/ — enable keyboard You can type the text using the virtual keyboard: System settings - Keyboard - Keyboard - Show the “Keyboard” and “Symbols” panels in the menu bar, as well as System settings - Keyboard - Input sources - Show the keyboard menu in the menu bar
