Keyboard clip broken

[tommy333]

Hello, yesterday I was trying to clean my notebook so I disassembled it. But when I unpluged the keyboard flex cable from its clip, I broke it and have no idea how to repair it. Tried to fix it with tape but with no succeed. Can I repair it somehow or should I replace the whole connector. I am posting some photos for better understanding. I will be grateful for any ideas. My notebook is Lenovo G580.

That looks like the type of connector which just flips 90 degrees to lock in the ribbon cable. You should be able to just shove it back in place until the ends snap in. It's just a divot on one part and a raised plastic tab on the other which acts as a pivot, one pivot at each end. When installed properly, it will flip through 90 degrees.

Yes, it is this type of connector but as you can see on image, this little `legs' "at the each end are missing so it wont snap.
