Keyboard and trackpad stopped working except the internet recovery!
Have looked into answers here:
- Keyboard and trackpad stopped working, it works only in login. Help?
- Why is my keyboard/trackpad not working?
Still can't get it to work!
I know its not a hardware issue because when I boot into internet recovery mode by pressing command+option+R The keyboard & trackpad work perfectly in the WiFi selection screen that shows up but won’t work once the recovery utilities are loaded.
Also, if I keep on pressing the Caps Lock key as the system is booting up, it works briefly as I can see it lighting up but then it stops responding and the keyboard/trackpad doesn't work any more during the last part of the boot up process and later.

Is this a good question?

Both of your links point to MacBook Air systems. Is that what you have? As you've selected an Early 2014 13" MacBook Pro retina model here.

I do have the "MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015" - the links are just for reference to things I managed to experiment with. Thanks for getting that clarified!

Can you download this gem of an app: CoconutBattery take a screenshot of the main window and paste it here for us to see Adding images to an existing question. I'm thinking your battery is pressing on the keyboard & trackpad cables. This often occurs with worn batteries as they swell up pressing on the connections.

Added battery stats from CoconutBattery. I wonder though, if it were a swollen battery causing the issue - don't think the keyboard/trackpad would work in the internet recovery first screen (where you choose the wifi), no?
