Hello,
Recently I bought a Lenovo yoga 530 14arr (AMD based) and surprisingly I found out that it has no Backlit keyboard.
i opened the machine and found the keyboard's backlit-cable exists but its free out there, not connected to anything, and then realized that there is no backlit connector (FPC connector socket) on the motherboard although it's possible (comparing to pictures of the same motherboard from the web).
My question is:
Can I buy the FPC connector and solder it into the motherboard?
Attached: pictures of my motherboard with the "missing" connector and picture of the cable and a similar motherboard with the connector installed (sold that way online).
1. My actual motherboard with the connected keyboard cable and missing connector (I do have the backlit cable there, not shown in the picture)
2. Keyboard cable and backlit cable for demonstration
3. The same motherboard as it is for selling online.

- if so, what type of FPC connector should I buy? (i know that it is a 4 pin FPC connector, not sure if the thickness is 0.5mm or 1mm, found both options online).
- is there an actual problem with soldering a connector to the motherboard?
