Chosen Solution Hi, I recently changed my MacBook Pro battery. Since then my keyboard spacebar and shift key are not working. They are not sticky but they just don’t work. Any suggestions?

Chosen Solution My Macbook air (2017) had a problem with the backlight and it looked like the flexgate stagelicht problem but only for one half of the screen. I was planning to send it back to were I bought it one year ago but after 3 days the problem just disappeared.

Chosen Solution I recently cleaned my 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4x4 throttle body and now it’s stuck on high RPMs any solution to how I could fix this?

This one has a strip along the left edge of the screen about 2 inches wide that only intermittently responds to touch input....

Chosen Solution Hi; I had this issue for a while. My speaker stop playing anything (full volume) and even after repairing it, it still has the same issue. Any ideas why?

If you have the same symptoms, then you probably have an issue with the backlight circuit....
