Chosen Solution
OK, I thought I’d be smart and replace my laptop keyboard by myself and when I “ripped” out the old one, one of the battery connections also ripped out. It’s not the main battery connection but the smaller one. Any idea if I can MacGyver this? Solder or glue or anything like that? Argh! I was sooo close too! If only it were that easy… and believe me I’ve been brainstorming! I took some pics to show you. And you’re going to wonder about me now. I have more than the one issue, as you will see in my pics. I should have taken it to a repair shop but I figured, hey it couldn’t be that hard. Doh! Let me see if I can figure out how to post these pics.
Given all your problems I’m not sure your system is economically repairable! The trackpad ribbon cable can be replaced so thats easy! You’ll need to take the battery out and carefully lift the black plastic insulator sheet under the battery (if it has it) to gain access to the trackpad its self. Then you can replace the ribbon cable Trackpad Flex Cable #821-1610-0
The keyboard ribbon cable connector on the logic board maybe damaged there is a plastic clamp which you need to lift up then slide the ribbon into the slot and then fold the clamp back down. If you broke off the clamp you need someone with better skills and access to the part to replace the connector or you’ll need a new logic board - Ouch!
Your last problem is not very clear as there are four connectors
Did you damage one of the three antenna cables or the iSight camera cable? Or are you have a hard time getting the cable to connect?
