Hello, My 13” MacBook Pro late 2016 A1708, keyboard backlight stopped working. It was working just fine, then after my laptop went to service and checking if everything was fine, it stopped working. Keys are fully functional, everything works except the backlight. I’m not sure if it’s possible that the cable connecting it is the problem? Keyboard connection flex cable is slightly damaged from before, could this be the reason? And if so, can I simply replace it to get my backlight to work again? Or backlight for keyboard is a different cable? (Than the one under the right speaker) Thanks!
The keyboard cable is replaceable! MacBook Pro 13" Retina (A1708, A2159) Keyboard Cable Unlike older systems this cable carries the fans power as well as the keyboard and its backlight power.
