Broke a ribbon connector.
I disassembled my laptop in order to replace the thermal paste, and ended up breaking a ribbon. The purpose of it is still not clear to me. I am yet to face any issues in my normal use of the laptop, and everything seems to be working fine. I even ran the hardware diagnostics within the Mac, and even it did not fetch any error codes, and said everything is fine hardware wise. I just want to know, what purpose/function that ribbon solves, and whether it's absence is likely to cause me any trouble/inconvenience in the future. Please help me out.
