The lock mechanism for the keyboard ribbon broke. What do I do?

Is this stupid little plastic piece going to cost me a whole logic board? How do you reconnect these ribbons anyways?

You missed/skipped this direction and note. If you can find a computer/electronics repair shop they might be able to replace the connector. Apple could replace the connector.

A workaround might be to use a Bluetooth or USB keyboard/mouse.

If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.

The power button is part of the keyboard. If the connector is broken, then the computer cannot be turned on to use Bluetooth or usb device.
