Keyboard and Trackpad do not work

Here's how to just replace the cable: MacBook Core 2 Duo Upper Case Cable Replacement

Thanks, I did reseat it a few times last night to the logic board, the cable cannot be removed from the topcase can it?

Thanks I will check that cable tonight!

I am able to use an external keyboard and mouse also. I believe that the profile also indicated that the isight and ir were found too.

I will check the cable tonight for corrosion on the keyboard cable. I am looking to invest in gettting a new topcase if I am reasonably sure that their isn't a short on the logic board. I was hoping that because the power button works, and because I was able to see other usb devices that it is just the topcase that needs replaced.

Here's just the cable: http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacB...

I took the case off and checked the cable last night. There was no corrosion on the plug. I did clean out the socket in case there was any corrosion there. It did not appear to have any.

I will be getting a cheap used keyboard to test tonight with. Does it matter if it is the silver or brown cable? I woud assume that it only matters that it goes with the corresponding keyboard assembly?

I am hoping that this fixes the problem.

Thanks

I got your email on repairing this. I'll take a look at it for a small charged if you cover the shipping. I have parts that I can exchange to help out on testing. The problem with water damage is the cascading effect. We just don't know what has been fried. One part goes then the next then the next. It could be a simple solder job. There's just no way to tell till I get into it with a multimeter and spare parts. I'll send my shipping address by email. I make NO promises on fixing this without a logic board replacement and possible top case, etc. Of course I will advise you before spending anything.
