My keyboard and trackpad not working…
My MacBook was overheating so I cleared the dust from the fan and heat sink. Cleaned off and then reapplied thermal paste.
Now, apart from the power button, the keyboard and trackpad are not working. The keyboard backlight is not working either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure which is the keyboard backlight connector but both the trackpad and keyboard connectors look normal. Obviously the rest of the machine works as well, I just have to use an external keyboard and mouse.

This cable was reseated and now everything works perfectly!
I'm not sure how the deep scratch came from, but it seems to not be a problem.
Bu iyi bir soru mu?

@rjv59483 - It does appear the latch is missing! Which I suspect in the process of opening the latch the tool slipped as we can also see a deep gouge in the plastic in a straight line. Getting a replacement connector and carefully lifting the latch off and mounting it on this connector is all that’s needed to finish the job. Without the latch the cable will disconnect from the connector so it won’t be reliable.
Reference the two images in my update below
