I'm having a slight issue... I have an early 2011 MBP and sometimes my keyboard/trackpad will just stop working. The green light on caps lock key won't turn on or off, not any of the keys will work - Completely unresponsive. This has happened to me twice in 2 months...Doesn't happen hardly at all but I'm worried about one of these days writing a paper or something and losing all the data due to the keyboard/trackpad not working.

Now...I haven't tried but I guess I could plug in a mouse and save if that were to happen but it is kind of frustrating having to worry about the keyboard/trackpad to randomly stop working.

I basically have to do a hard reboot every time I want my stuff to work. Is this a sign of hardware failure? If it only has happened twice in 2 months should I have geniusbar check it out...?

Thanks in advance :(
