After new installation both keyboard and trackpad work for a little while. I do notice sometimes the trackpad does not click/push down. But after an hour or so both keyboard and trackpad stop working. Not light under the keys and only the on/off switch operationals. Again formatted disk/partitioned and reinstalled - same story. What can I do?
Macbook Pro 2015
When both the Keyboard & Trackpad stop working at the same time on the 2015 MBPro the cause is usually a defective Trackpad Cable. This cable becomes worn out after several years of use due to the case rubbing against the cable. Sometimes rebooting will help for a little while in some cases. There have been a few times where the Trackpad or Logic Board were the cause of the failure in our organization's 2015 MBPros, but this has been rare.

Thanks for your reply. Took it out and reinstalled - did nothing. But also ordered a new cable - I'll come back on this..
Replacing the cable indeed did the trick. Thanks for your response.
