    I did exactly the same on a MacBook Pro

    Took it to an Apple Store and they fixed it 

    It was well out of warranty 

    It took several hours

    Just found out why it is not working. Can only type in capital letters that’s why I cannot log on internet.

    I guess one work around is to change your Apple ID and password so they both only use capitals? :)


    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
