ciao and thanks for this guide @smilzo !

I recently had to re-seat the keyboard, which is a common trick for old Dell laptops when the keyboards starts having issues and types nonsense. However after putting it back together, the keyboard doesn’t light up anymore. what am I doing wrong? did I miss a connector?

hi, sorry for what happened, try to disassemble the keyboard again and check that the connectors are inserted well on the correct side and that the cable has not broken.  good luck
