hi.

1) check the keyboard cable to the logic board connection

2) do you see the keyboard backlight working on this replacement?

Am yet to get another connector
But the fans are working well

On the connector, just visually confirm that there are no bent pins. We have done similar keyboard replacements at the low level and worked well in the end but it was not the same A1707 unit.

Just confirm that the keyboard cables are mating correctly.

There are some youtube videos on this topic - please review them as well.

Ok I'll check on the connector.
Do you have any links to those videos

Hi. I’ve tried another connector but it didn’t work.
So i got another motherboard and fixed it in the chasis woth the faulty keyboard but still it didn’t work.
Am probably thinking that the new keyboard isn’t just working.

It is not uncommon to receive new keyboards and they do not work. If you ordered them from china i would be careful because they resell returns. You will want to buy from a reputable company that sells OEM parts. FYI, the keyboard has the backlight integrated inside the keyboard itself, there is no connector for the backlight on these keyboards, they are all in one connection. I seen cases where the keyboard works but the backlight does not, and vice versa.

Ok. So let me just buy another keyboard. Coz even the backlight isn’t working on this one.

I would recommend you buy a topcase with a battery (new top case) or even a known used one that is working. There are people selling these on eBay always.
