Trackpad not working on Dell 1525 after changing the keys

[eyemfedup2]

hello again
i need a little advice
i changed the keys on the keypad and now touch pad doesn't work at all
tried old one and it doesn't work either
made sure ribbon cables where connected and the pull tab up
am i missing something?
not the first time this has happened on a 1525
thanks
any help would be much appreciated

Are you refering to the tab (that swings up to release) on the connector the ribbon sits in?

If so, the tab needs to be up in order for the ribbon cable to be inserted fully, and its then pushed down so its flush with the ribbon.

I've also renamed the title of your thread to something more suitable, as this will help you get better assistance from others.

thanks
i need all the help i can get lol
ok i removed old left right click button assembly only not the whole touch pad
worked fine before but switch was weak
all it is is the two buttons and a small ribbon cable
hooked it up exactly the same cant remove the ribbon from the buttons

i guess i did something wrong because even after trying to put the old one back in
the touch pad is dead
the two other ribbons are connected
cant see anything not connected

now i have ordered a new ribbon cable for connector A kinda shabby
