Keyboard Backlight ribbon cable fix?

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

Hi,

I bought a used Macbook, knowing that the keyboard backlight doesn't work, which aint a Problem for me.

The only Problem is that it also doesn't go to sleep mode when the cover is closed (magnet over sensor also doesn't trigger), and the battery status doesn't work.

I tried resetting the SMC several times, didn't work.

Know i discovered the following:

My Keyboard Backlight Ribbon cable isn't plugged in, because there is no Port to plug it in, seems it had been removed somehow.

Here is how it should look:

Could it be that this missing connection affects all the other Problems i have?

And if so, can this port be soldered back in place?

Any Experience?
