How to reattach MBP Ribbon cable from keyboard to logicboard

[markw10]

I was doing an upgrade of the hard drive in a MBP and unfortunately when I removed the keyboard the ribbon cable attaching it to the MBP's Logic Board came off and I can't figure out how to reattach it. I know it there has to be a way to reattach it but I don't want to attach it wrong and have something short out. How would I go about reattaching it?

We need to know what macbook you have to help you.
You can try ifixit.com, it has disassembly guides for just about every macbook.

Since you had to remove the keyboard I'm assuming it is a pre-unibody MBP as I believe the unibodies don't have to mess with the keyboard to replace the HDD. It should look something like the attached photo. The cable just kind of sits on top of the connection and then is clicked into place. If you need more detail try this ifixit guide: ifixit

If this isn't your model ifixit has guides to all the MBPs here: MacBook Pro Guides
