Did I screw up or is it something else? (keyboard light issue)


last summer broke macbook pro 15" 2012 display , decided replace myself. followed ifix guide , working fine. thought. went use skype few days ago , said webcam not connected though cable plugged , backlight on keyboard working fine, bale use f5 , f6 lower or brighten no problem.

today decided try reseting cable in slot thinking maybe wasn't plugged in way. took of bottom, pulled out plug , plugged it, didn't seem in way grabbed flat head screw driver , applied slight (barely anything) amount of pressure each side of wire make sure in way on both sides. ****ed because slot plug goes sits on logic board popped off way easily.

1) resolder connector on mother board or use type of super glue or without needing professional , getting raped charges? (anything should know or careful of if go route?)

thought mean can't use webcam, never used damn thing in 3 years i've had computer. ignored it, put together, turned on , seemed work fine until few hours later, aka now, when realized backlight on keyboard not working. know not end of world still frustrating.

did research, found out cable used light sensor, again no big deal because manually adjust both screen brightness , keyboard brightness. made sure option in settings light sensor adjust brightness of keyboard off. still no change. both buttons work , can control brightness of screen no problem.

tried smc , nvram reset, standard reset, , other simple solutions others have tried.

did screw myself on or easy fix can myself? have need solder but not precision soldering iron, can still or no?

help.

Sean Penn, "Chapo Guzman", and Rolling Stone

if you've spare twenty minutes or (and inclination) take @ sean penn's rambling account of meeting (then) fugitive mexican drug lord "chapo" guzman. its interesting on number of levels. not quality of sean penn's journalistic work. first observation had there remarkably little actual interviewing going on. penn's limited spanish ("hola" , "adios") played part. guzman made number of statements, claiming turned narcotics because there no other means of earning living. beyond that, nothing groundbreaking. sean penn himself of polarizing figure. guy rose fame jeff spicoli fancies himself of outlaw journalist, without writing chops of hunter s. thompson. prose of intelligent man; stylist ambitions out of reach of abilities. uses word "brume" describe aftereffects of bout of flatulence. pretentious word (i presume) not technically accurate. mentions twice expensive wristwatches sported guzman's sons -
