Can I repair my broken keyboard ribbon retaining flap?
First off, I'm an idiot. I pulled up on the keyboard retaining flap, rather than just flipping it up, and it broke. Now, my MacBook 2.4 unibody won't boot. I suspect, because the logic board isn't getting any input from the keyboard. Is there a way to get a replacement retaining flap? Does someone know a way to power on a MacBook from USB or something? Thanks in advance!

Hey JSBECKER:
Did the Kapton tape and shim solution work for you? I have broken the same flap on the same MacBook Pro but have different symptoms: some of my keys work and some don't. However, my baby powers up fine and EVERYTHING ELSE seems OK (I was doing a mag relay replacement).
If I go in and fiddle with the keyboard ribbon and re-insert it, etc. there will be a new combination of keys that work and don't work.
Am thinking to try BOTH the kapton tape with a blister-pack shim as suggested above.
Thanks ahead to anyone who has any further ideas/comments on my Macbook Pro's symptoms.
Off to find some Kapton tape – cheers!

I cut a piece of plastic from a blister pack and used it to shim the cable in the slot and it actually worked. I am amazed. Was about to give up. Thanks for the tip.

I cut a small piece of the plastic pull tab on the battery, wedged it in above my fan ribbon plugged into my broken retaining flap-fan cable ZIF socket on Macbook air 2015 then I superglued the two together and put a very small piece of gorilla tape on the plastic top of the connector and the glued together ribbon/shim and it worked out great.( you could all put a small dab of super glue on top of the shim and the edge that it is tucked into.....semi permanent either way.
