Chosen Solution
I just finished replacing the battery for my old laptop since it started overheating a little bit. Before the replacement the trackpad and keyboard were working fine. After the replacement the keyboard and trackpad worked for a few seconds and now they are completely unresponsive, I have already calibrated the battery, removed and reinstalled the battery, double check the trackpad wire and made sure the cable was connected. not sure what else to do? is there something i’m missing or doing wrong? please help!

Update (07/06/2021) Old battery
New battery
Let’s try this again, the focus is on the keyboard and trackpad not working as such the battery which sits on top of the ribbon cables (looking in from the bottom) can press against then causing issues. I was hoping to get a clue from the condition of the old battery if it was blistered in either the middle or left cells looking at the battery from here (battery is made up of four cells)
