Replaced keyboard not working

Hi,

I replaced my keyboard on my MacBook pro 17" 2011 (early)

Backlight is on , keys feel great, power button works...

But the keyboard itself will not type.

I am waiting on a new trackpad ribbon ... I ripped mine by accident.

I checked the ribon connection to the logic board cleaned it with ISO but still the same.

Help!

Are you sure you got the correct Top Case (Apple P/N 661-5041) or 3rd party keyboard? Apple has different keyboards per region.
