In step 4 of Installing MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2009 Dual Hard Drive I broke the cable union, or so I think I did as I cannot reattach it back... PLEASE what can I do to reattach it? The left speaker sucks! Is there anyway to sold it or glue it or anything?
Is this a good question?

Glue is nonconducting. Soldering the component is the only "fix" however Logic Board Soldering is not for amateurs. It requires special tools, solder and lots and lots of practice so as not to damage the board with too much heat.
A small electronics repair shop/computer repair shop could probably do this for you. Not every step of a DIY repair must be done by "yourself".

Thank you very much for your answer. I was not thinking on doing it myself but I was just wondering on what to look for. I guess I should find someone with experience to do this for me, but I was wondering if there was a fix.. I just wished I had read the comments that said: DO NOT FOLLOW STEP 4 before I disconnected this 'undisconnectable' cable...
Yes its crucial to completely read through the guide and comments (not just look at them) before starting on a first time repair. There are no software fixes for hardware issues.

Can you take a set of pictures one of the logic boards connector and the end of the cable from the speaker so we can see whats up. Post them in your question.
