I damaged the connector of my MBP’s iSight/Bluetooth/Wifi cable when installing an SSD. I’ve bought a replacement cable but as my iSight/Bluetooth/Wifi are working fine I’m wondering whether I actually need to remove the glass over the screen to replace this cable or whether it just connects somewhere before it goes up behind the screen? (more info - I think I broke the ground pin off the connector because odd LEDs in my display are flickering, causing light & dark ‘spots’ along the bottom of my screen)
Hi. I did fix my Laptop. My cable was ok. It was the connector on the main board that was damaged. I saw it with a magnifier. One pin was bend over the one on its right, creating a short circuit. The consequence was only the lack of BT. Fortunately, with a needle and a tiny microscope lenses (and a lot of patience) I finally got the pin back in place. Then I reconnected the cable to never disconnect it again and… Boom !! My BT is working again. So if anyone think his cable is damaged, please check your connector before disassemble your screen. Because this connector is not robust at all.
Hi! I have the same issue. The thing is, i really messed up when replacing the optical drive with a HDD. I ripped it off line one of the other connectors. I’ll try and see if I can fix it without replacing it. I was afraid I’d have to weld it back in place somehow. Software geek, hardware noob. Boo.
