Hello everybody.
I got myself into quite a bit of a problem similar to this one:
https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=18727280#post18727280
which is I broke off the retaining clip on the keyboart connector. My bad. I didn't realize that as soon as you pop it out it's not going back to it's original place and function.
The story would have ended if I could find a replacement connector in durable time. For the place I live in getting one is $40 +two weeks wait, or $10 with 30-40 days wait.
I couldn't wait this long without trying to fix the problem myself at least temporarily.
So i started fiddling... Long story short
In the end(better said "By now":D) i have several keyboard connector contacts ripped off the board. Yes, there is no old connector anymore. :D Which is fine. I'm waiting for a new one from China to be delivered within a month. But ripped connectors complicates circumstances as I or whoever will be trying to fix the machine will need to see the tracks. And some of them are deep under the lacquer coatng.
What I want to ask you guys. Please, if anybody has or knows where to find a printed circuit board(not a scheme diagram. I already have one)in any format please provide me a copy or a link.
My model is: MacBook pro 13" 1278 late 2011 sn C17GPFRTDV13.
Thanks
