How can I reconnect the light-provider wire to the body of back-lit keyboard in my Lenovo flex 2?

As you know there is a wire between laptop's motherboard and its keyboard for lighting. One end is properly connected to motherboard but the other one is not connected to keyboard body. In fact, I don't know "where" it must be connected. On keyboard body only there is a black area for that. Check out further image below:

Hi,

Is that a replacement keyboard for your laptop? Have you tried to peal down that black part where its suppose to be inserted?

- If it's not a replacement keyboard and you back light just stopped working it most probably that ribbon cable was broken or cut into 2 pieces.
- If it's a replacement keyboard you may had ordered a non backlight replacement keyboard or try to peal that black sticker that should be where you connect that ribbon cable for the back light.

Thanks @Laptop_Nerd for replying

I find a replacement keyboard in Amazon that cost 26$ that isn't much price BUT I can't buy it only because I live in IRAN . People in Afghanistan and IRAQ as benighted countries in near us easily can buy from eBay, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and other big markets and companies directly but we can't. I believe We are the most deprived people in over the world.

Yesterday I found a indirect-buying company in Tehran that can buy indirectly from Amazon. I used their service called "Call for price". it is so interesting for you to know they told me that buying the 26$ keyboard indirectly costs about 70$ !

You be the judge, please ...

It looks like the end of the cable sheared off. It may or may not be reconnectible. You probably need a new keyboard and cable.
