Hey guys! So, I've been having this weird issue on my work MacBook Pro (15", Mid 2012 model) where my mouse and keyboard fail to respond, and then disconnect from the computer for 1-2 minutes before reconnecting and working fine for hours or days at a time (until it all starts again). One day on bootup I also saw the bluetooth icon in the menu bar grayed out, and when I clicked on it it said "Bluetooth not available" (but it promptly went away and my devices connected again).
I had previously tried trashing bluetooth preferences, deleting the mouse and keyboard from the device list and re-added them, and reset the SMC. I had also tried the Apple hardware test before but it was taking too long and I had work to do. So I finally set it up to run the test as I was leaving work last night. I come in this morning to find that the progress bar hadn't moved an inch.
Pic of where it got stuck. Weird that it wouldn't go past '11 seconds'...
What's confusing is this issue seems to rear its head very randomly. I've been looking at the console logs (bluetooth crashes have been happening starting on February 24th...) and it seems like it can happen as few as every couple of days, or as many as 20 times a day (seriously... that happened...)
I'm considering making a genius appointment, but wanted to see if anyone else has had these issues/has advice. I don't really feel like going to the Apple Store straight out of work, but maybe this is a good chance to go check out the new trackpad on the 13" Pro
