If the socket is still attached to the logic board you can "McGyver" something. Try to secure the cable with tape or glue but be ultra careful not to break more or shorten something.

This also happened to me. Before I discovered ifixit.com, instead of pulling the ribbon AWAY from the socket, I pulled the ribbon AND the socket out away from the board. Those solder points are way too small to be resoldered back on. So I just live without the backlit keyboard. That is unless someone here can find a way to reattach it.

This is a 4 pin connector, i believe only two are connected.
Can anyone post me a good close up photo or test where those go
and i will come up with a fix.

I think it's completely off and the cable is loose. I will try the MacGuyver method. Need to look at iFixit pics a little more for position. Thanks.

just wondering whether you'd done a search on google or ebay for the zif part? you may be able to find someone who sells them and then resolder it back on..

I have and it doesnt seem to be an easy find. plus soldering that thing back on is not your typical soldering job.
It is a very poor design.
