Why is the laptop dead after battery replacement?

We replaced the battery as per instructions but did not remove the three keyboard cables, but folded the cover back. Now, reassembled, the computer is dead. Is it one of the cables or something else? No power, no lights, no nothing. Charger has current.

@abrawls Since you did not disconnect the top case while replacing the battery, it is possible that this is the issue. Either one of the cables got disconnected or worse, it may have torn. Time to open it back up and to inspect those 3 cables. Only 1 is actually the keyboard the other two are for the top case, power button etc.
