Hello,

I was replacing a LCD in a 2012 MacBook Pro 13 inch and after putting it back together I can not get it to power up. I have done all of the obvious things such as checking all the connectors to make sure they are seated correctly and made sure that I didn't miss connecting up any connections. This was something that I took my time on and did not rush through. I have also tried disconnecting the battery overnight. The battery does still charge because I still get the orange/green light on the mag-safe connector, I have tried resetting the SMC by holding down the buttons on the keyboard and it seems like the computer does recognize that something is happening because once I do this, the light on the mag-safe connector does change, but the power button still does not do anything. So for the past week I have been searching everywhere for the power pads for this particular model, does anybody here by chance know where they are located? I can post a picture if need be.
