Why is the MacBook Keyboard not working after upgrade to 10.9.2?

I am (not a Mac expert) trying to repair the Macbook of a friend, whose keyboard has stopped working after an upgrade to 10.9.2. It is an icelandic keyboard and right now types only three characters and all others either do not respond or come as blank spaces.

An external bluetooth keyboard and a usb keyboard work fine. Tried to reset (through the usb keyboard) PVRAM but it keeps going into the Mac utilities, safe mode option is also not working. Could not reset SMC with the Shift-Control-Option keys (on the left side) and the power button... so opened the back panel and disconnected the battery connector and pressed the power.

When I go into Mac Utilities (where I reached instead of PVRAM reset) there is a log for which I have not found any clue on the internet

Please guide me as to the next step.

Thank you

I have tried ALL commands from the external USB keyboard and every command (reset PVRAM, Safeboot etc) takes me to the Mac utilities page... can't figure what am I doing wrong...? :(

IF this is an incompatability problem with Mavericks... could I reinstall 10.8 and restore my docs and mail from 10.9 Time Machine back-up??

FINALLY I FOUND A SOLUTION...

Posting this as a help for someone who might be stuck in the same situation...

Somehow my keyboard mapping has got corrupted and since I could not find a direct way to edit the keymapping for Mac I used a superb software called KeyRemap4MacBook and it has remapped my key settings, over-riding the defaults in my Macbook and now I can happily work on my macbook. It seems that somehow there is a hardware error and my Left Shift key is not working but all the rest now work properly...

It sounds like there is a bug with the update. I don't use a mac, so I would be guessing if you can reinstall the prior version of the software. But if it is possible, downgrade the os and see if that resolves the issue.

Thanks Wade,

I'm still perplexed by the fact that none of the boot keyboard sequences are able to work... THAT should give me an option of booting into another install medium or reset the parameters...:(

You've got me with the boot sequences. Sorry I can't be of any more help.

Thank you for trying Wade...

This is the ONLY response I got from the Mac community on any forum... I downgraded from 10.9.2 but the problem remains... which makes me think it may be a physical problem with the keyboard...

Malware. Yes there's tons of it for Mac. Check the National Institute of Standards for Technology National Vunerability Database of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, almost 9,000 for Apple as of Feb. 2018.

About 1/10 as many as Windows but uh would you go out in a thunderstorm if you knew you had a 1/10 chance of getting struck my lightening?

These and similar messages from an "unknown" process have been popping up in logs (Cmd+L) during installs in Recovery and elsewhere for a while now:

Unknown[528]: Keyboard Layouts: keyboard layout identifier -14934 has been replaced with -28673.

Either Apple is totally off their game or its malware. Guess its true about what goes up...Too bad.

They're totally screwing themselves over by not confronting these problems and just living in denial and refusing to help their paying customers.

I’m such a idiot ... Every time I restarted my computer for some time now it was asking me a stupid question about pushing the key they doesn’t seem to be working right on the left side of your keyboard with a diagram of the shift key and a arrow pointed to it like a %#*@ Wiley Coyote and Road Runner ACME trap...I’d just breeze it every time and Donkey Kong the close out button cause I don’t restart that often it’s out of sight out of mind. Lemme guess... I bet that key fires up a covert enableVoiceCommand; remoteShareEverythingSinceBirth -entightlements DevilHelperAssistant PandoraProcess or something along those lines? Just remember they are in Khazicstan preparing for a global cyber coup as I’m unscrewing these custom Apple screws that take a 6 pointed star screwdriver... (Hey Eve... Bring me a 6 pack of Applessss)
