Where can I buy the keyboard ZIF connector?
MacBook Air 13 英寸 Retina 显示屏 2018 年末电池更换 Found in step 28 of this guide, I need the surface mount ZIF connector someone ripped off the board of a MacBook I’m repairing. Appears to be 27 pins, 13 on one side, 14 on the other, with 4 grounding/mounting tabs.

@danj Here are some photos on the connector and its ribbon. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8sa04i9ki0q1x...
As measured by my calipers, the pads seem to be approximately 0.5mm spaced, with the two rows of pins spaced at 3.5mm.

Ouch! This might not be repairable. Can you post some good tight focused pics of the keyboard’s connector area so we can see if the pads are still present 在已经存在的问题里加入图片.

@danj Pads are all intact, I'm not near the machine right now though. If pads were damaged I'd do a trace repair. I just unfortunately can't source a connector alone, and cleaning up all those rivets is annoyingly time consuming compared to a quick connector swap.

@synthax - While not cheap replacing the upper case would be the other option.
In any case I would need to see a nice set of tight photos to try to find the connector. Need to know the exact pin count and profile for starters and then the dimensions.
