[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1870117, member: 56379"] Agree with member tr3ndz. *. The ribbon cable looks ok. The issue is the broken plastic piece from the connector on the logic board. The connector on the logic board serves two purposes...it confines the pins from expanding too much when the ribbon cable is inserted (maintains pressure on the pins in a way so that the ribbon cable pins stay in contact). And the logic board connector ensures the logic board connectors stay spaced out properly/algined properly so that the ribbon cable pins make proper side-to-side contact). * And as tr3ndz mentioned. If you can't get things to work...and external keyboard could be a solution (although I know this is not the best solution for a mobile device like a laptop computer). Do you still have the broken plastic piece from the logic board connector? If so...you could try to carefully super glue it back in place. This isn't a great solution...but something to try...since replacing that logic board connector is a whale of a task. If you do try this...don't use too much glue...and be sure the gold pins are aligned properly. Please let us know how things go.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
