Replaced Battery But Keyboard Wont Work
Hey guys I followed this Youtube video which shows how to replace the battery. I only touched the connectors mentioend in here. It appears that all the cables were for the battery and touchpad. I didnt touch the keyboard, why does it not work?
I can turn on and hold power but nothing else registers. More so I cannot reset SMC or PRAM or NVRAM which requrie key combiantions because on boot/bios screen my key presses do not register. I tried an external USB keyboard which works fine but trying again trying to reset SMC or go into Recovery mode has failed.
Any advice would be great!
Edit:
It appears I damaged the trackpad cable. But I did not touch nor go near the keyboard cable that is on the left of the chassis. Does the trackpad cable somehow affect the functionality of the keyboard cable?

Hi Dan It was this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyGpUmw6...
I purchased this part (MacBook Pro 13" Retina (A1708, A2159, A2289) Trackpad Cable) and it fixed my keyboard issue.
