MacBook Keyboards Freezing: Recall or Driver Update Needed?

[Mr. Mayor]

<img src="http://www.mactropolis.com/images/blog/macbook-frozen-keyboards.jpg" align="right" />For the past few days, I have heard people complaining about their <strong>macbook keyboards freezing at times</strong>. They need to reboot the computer or put it to sleep before it can actually work again.My new macbook was bought after Thanksgiving. This week, I have started having the same issues with my keyboard. I visited <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1217703&amp;tstart=0" target="_blank">this Apple discussion forum</a> and there is a long list of people with the same problem.

The discussion thread looks more like a petition list so that Apple can have the problem fixed. Many are sending their MBs for repair to have the keyboard replaced. If the hardware is a problem, then a massive recall would follow. Others believe the problem is related to the keyboard driver in Leopard. I guess we are going to have to wait for Apple to fix this! And I hope it's soon... <strong>before my keyboard freezes again!</strong>
