Kernel Panic error, MBP
A friend game me an old none working MBP 2010, when it turns on I get the apple logo and an spinning wheel and later the “panic Kernel” error “You need to restart your computer.” shows up. (already tried rebooting with option key pressed, command+R etc.)
So I decided to open it and see what I found, and I discovered a little cable that looks like is missing the connector or something, can anyone help me identify it and let me know if is fixable or replaceable?

@mikevillarroel - Here's what the symbol means If your Mac doesn't start up all the way

that would be the main issue I guess, I can,t go into recovery, also i have mojave in a bootable usb, that's the one i a;ways use, catalina did not let me make the sierra usb thing, in another note i was able to boot from a Ubuntu drive and i tested the keyboard, audio, trackpad, didn't figure how to connect to wifi but everything looks good, i don't get it

@mikevillarroel - You need to use the correct version of OS for the system Mojave & Catalina are not supported on your older system you need Sierra.
Download the image file in Step 4, double click it to open the file and then drag the installer to your GUID Journaled file system USB thumb drive. Convert it following this guide: How to upgrade to macOS Sierra

@danj I did find the way to do the usb instalation with Sierra but nothing happens when pressing the option or command+R still getting the folder with the question mark

Command+R won't work here! You should be able to select the USB drive using the Option key after restarting.
