Same problem.
I had to change the magsafe board because it wasn’t charging. Everything seemed to go okay, but now the MB doesn’t boot. The charging light comes on when the magsafe charger is connected, so that problem might be solved.
I’ve tried the suggested tape method to slide the keyboard cable into the connector better, but still no go. So, I want to ask just HOW FAR the cable has to be inserted? I can just see a thin line of metal contacts on the cable when it is inserted. Should it go in far enough so that you DON’T see the contacts?
On the iFixit page about changing the top case, the foto in the take apart shows the thin line of contacts just before removing the cable. See STEP 14 here: MacBook Unibody Model A1342 Upper Case Replacement
I’ve fixed a fair number of MacBooks, but if the problem here is not the cable then I guess I fried the motherboard.

so here's my problem i replaced the keyboard on a macbook pro 2010 13inch.
when i plug in the power it turns on... problem is my keyboard doesn't work, i think its because i dont have it in far enough so at this point im not sure what to do, i tried releasing the lock and pushing it in as well as i could and still the keyboard wont function

Thanks for the answer! I used the tape method and it worked just fine! The only problem is that the ribbon doesn't go full inside the connector, and some keys are not working. It has to go all of it inside the zif connector? Sorry if my english is not correct, I'm from Argentina.
