Title:

Keyboard and Trackpad are dead but power button still works?

Text:

Hello everyone I picked up a 2008 Macbook 2.4 A1181 with the last 4 of the serial number being DOP1. The keyboard and trackpad are dead. Power button still works however. I thought it was the topcase so I tried a known good working topcase that I had lying around. It was from a 2006 Macbook. After putting on the 2006 topcase it powers on the Macbook but the keyboard and trackpad are still dead. The Caps lock button will not come on. A usb mouse and keyboard work fine.

Is the connection on the logic board bad?

Thank you
