Headphone jack damaged and a piece of logic board ripped off
Hello guys, i recently received an MBP mid 2012 and after rebooting and installing macOS Catalina, i found out that my in-built speakers wont work since it’s blocked on the optical-out output, i opened the macbook case and inside i saw that a piece of the logicboard is ripped off right where the headphone jack in/out port is, i m not interesting in repairing the jack, i only want to make the in-built audio to work, i searched and found multiple solutions on forums, yet no one made it work. Is there any real solution to disable for good the optical out output or i need to buy a new logicboard?
I updated the photos, enlarged.
Is this a good question?

Could you select the built in output in System Preferences?
