Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted on here, but I've been having a few problems I just can't seem to figure out. I tried searching for answers, but nothing really comes close.

Anyway, I have a 2.4ghz unibody MBP, so I know I should expect a few bugs with a rev. a product, but the keyboard on my MBP will intermittenly stop working. All but the modifier keys, number keys, and f no. keys stop working. I have the latest updates, and they didn't fix the problem. I had the issue before, and Apple gave me a new laptop (it was only 3 days old). This never happened on this newer one for quite some time, and now started happening recently again.

Here's where it gets weirder: I have an aluminum keyboard hooked up to it through my 23" ACD for working at my desk, and when the keyboard on the laptop stops working (I check when this happens) the number pad on the aluminum keyboard stops working, but all the other keys are fine. Strangely enough it happened while typing this and then came back on again. Do you think this is a firmware-related issue? I'm just looking for any form of help, thanks!
