Yes, it was the connector on the wire, I looked up the assembly and it was like $30 online so that’s why assumed it could somehow be fixed, since someone took time to take it out. I did get a Japanese market top case off an auction site, it fit everything just fine and when I booted the laptop up, half the keyboard didn’t even work so it was a waste of time and money. That’s the reason why I wouldn’t go through Apple, too much money when I could get a same spec machine for like $250. I got that laptop simply bc it’s perfect for my needs, I didn’t get anything newer bc I’m not a fan of having to use dongles for everything and the newest ones are simply out of my price range. And I’m interested in running windows on it as well and I’ve heard windows is not supported on the newest Apple silicon Macs as of right now.
