A1534 retina Macbook doesn't sleep

[arghhh]

Does anybody know where the sleep sensor for A1534 retina Macbook is?

In the keyboard under the left shift key. I doubt it is the sensor, probably corroded flat cable from KB to TP or TP to board.

I replaced the keyboard on two A1534 and neither of them would go to sleep when you closed it, so that explains it. Just to make sure though, is there a way to measure smc lid with the keyboard connected? trackpad flex makes it impossible to measure the logic board -- solder wires?

Did you get keyboard with the sensor not soldered on? It is under a metal cover under the left shift. Kinda annoying to measure on an A1534, but should not be needed, just look for corrosion or missing sensor.
