    Had to open up the laptop (Dell Inspiron 14z '1440') to install the bluetooth chip. Chip install went fine but the trackpad cable was connected to the motherboard via what appears to be a plastic connector and a piece of tape. The plastic connector doesn't appear to connect to the ribbon cable. Having trouble geting it re-connected. Has anyone run into this before? Thanks!!

    Resolved. It was a pressure connector - needed to be clipped back in to the housing.
