Keyboard backlight not working
Hi!
I have a Mid 2012 15” MacBook Pro. Suddenly the keyboard’s backlight is not working anymore.
I tried to:
- reset the SMC
- reset PRAM
- format and reinstall macOS
The connector of the backlight seems ok, I tried to disconnect and reconnect it without success.
If I try to press F5 or F6, I see the illumination steps changing on the animation correctly but the keyboard is dark. I also tried to disable auto-regulation in settings.
Is it possible that the connector disconnected from the keyboard part?
If it is a hardware problem is it possible to substitute some parts to make it work again?
Thanks

Hi! I have some updates.
I changed the keyboard because some keys started to not work.
Now the keyboard is working fine but the backlight is still not working. Opening my Mac, I noticed that a little component in front of the backlight connector is damaged (I attach a picture). Could be this the cause of the problem? There is a solution to repair it?
Is dit een goede vraag?
