I damaged the ribbon cable to the keyboard
I broke the keyboard ribbon cable! Is there a way to replace the cable or do I have to change the whole keyboard?

Did you damage the cable going to the logic board?

Sadly, Apple doesn't offer the cable alone for this model you would need to replace the entire uppercase - Ouch!
See if you can find a junker to steal the cable from.

Thanks. I'm gonna replace the keyboard, that I bought on eBay. what a pity.
but even if I found a junkie, I don't think I'll be able to unmount the cable and mount it on my keyboard instead... so I'll change the keyboard
Which ever works :-)

It's a MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Late 2008. But if you need the serial I'll tell you when I go home.
