Hello Michael, If the keys work on the external, your keyboard sounds like some of the keys are damaged or worn out :( Rather than suggest anything else to try, probably taking your MBP to Apple or a Apple Authorized Service Provider (MacWorx Joondalup). https://www.macworx.com.au/service

Hi Michael, Reset the SMC on your MacBook Pro. 1. Shutdown your MacBook Pro by choosing Shutdown from the Apple  Menu 2. After your Mac shuts down, press Shift-Control-Option on the left side of the built-in keyboard, then press the Power button at the same time. Hold these keys and the power

Hi, I’ve been continuing to attach and wait for the drive/volume to mount, no mount showing on desktop or in Disk Utility. Numerous attempts at this in both USB ports - still nothing showing. I decided just for safety I would make a copy of the two Photos Libraries (~500GB total) on this
