I have tried to reconnect the ribbon and it works as long as the lid is not closed. But I got fed up and tried to make it work cuz other than the touch pad the status LEDs and lid closing functionality are a must. And since then a month has passed I am using it without the touch pad, status indicator LEDs and the lid closing functionality. I opened it up removed it form the connector and voilà! it worked.
Scouring the internet in desperation I came to a clue that led me to the touch pad ribbon issue. For days it lay dead and I had no idea what to do with it. It was practically impossible for me to RMA it because it was out of states and had to resort to some other means. But then the problem occurred that it just wouldn't power up. When it arrived it worked for the first week or so and then I powered it off and didn't use it for two weeks afterwards.
I ordered my ASUS G53SW-XN1 from newegg back in August.
