Not turning on after Magsafe Power Jack Replacement

My Magsafe Power Jack was broken and I had to replace it, but on the way to do it, I ended up breaking the Subwoofer/Right Speaker component from the motherboard.

But since it's just the speaker, I thought it wouldn't be a problem to turn on the pc.

However, now the pc is not turning on, and the power jack replacement was a success because the battery is charging normally again.

Do I have to replace the motherboard because of that broken connector?

I tried to check all other connectors and all of them seem to be fine except the RAM memory, it appears to be not well connect, but I've switched the cards and tried everything, but it's seems to be perfectly connected even though it looks a bit disconnected

Any suggestions of what should I do?

Replace the motherboard? Any other check that I could do?

Update (05/12/2018)

I only needed a port, since the wire was torn off. Maybe I should have explained that a little more. I don't think it has a wattage or a voltage, it's just a port

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

If youve had it apart perhaps the keyboard ribbon is faulty, disconnect and try connecting the correct 85w magsafe, it should then power.
