Ribbon cable connector for keyboard backlight broken

Hi guys.

So, I had a well functioning Mac and another one not working so well (unrelated). I swapped motherboards to zero in on the problem on the bad mac, and in the process I managed to break the ribbon cable connector on the good mac, which I believe is for the keyboard backlight. At least that's what I can find out when I look up the name from BoardViewer. Now it won't power on.

I attach some pictures - one picture shows where the connector is placed on the motherboard, another picture shows the broken connector and the last picture shows the healthy connector from a board I have.

My question is:

1) Does it make sense that the broken connector will cause the Mac to now not turn on?

2) I have soldering equipment and a hot air gun. Can the connector be replaced and what method would you suggest?

Hey, Morten

Yes, the connector can be replaced. There are other chips around it, so I'd suggest heating the connector from the other side, and then removing it and soldering a new chip on. It's possible for the connector to cause the Mac to not power up. I hope this helps and your Mac gets fixed.

Hi, thank you very much for the answer. Today I attempted heating the connector from the bottom of the donor board, unfortunately resulting in melting of the connector. Not completely - I stopped when it started melting. However, the closing hatch that is used to keep the ribbon cable in place had shifted, so I don't think that is good anymore. I saw I could purchase this part on AliExpress, so I might do that.

However, I tried to turn on the Mac without the keyboard backlight connector ribbon connected, and actually the Mac then powers on. So perhaps I will just leave it and live without keyboard backlight.

Still though, if anyone could give some input on what I experienced when heating the connector from the bottom. Was I too aggressive with the heat, so I have gone slower? Is there an alternative way to desolder such a connector?

Thanks again,

Morten

I think the problem might have been that you used too high of heat, which would de-solder it faster, while lower heat would be slower, but may not have melted the connector.

That makes sense. Thank you Russel :)

No problem at all. I hope it ends up working out for you
