SOLVED: Left speaker connector broken - MacBook Unibody Model A1342

Left speaker connector broken

When removing my logic board, I discovered that the connector to my left speaker was in pieces. Now I have two bare wires coming from the speaker rather than a connector. I can’t find any repair/replacement guides for this, so I’m wondering what I can do. It appears that the speaker is integrated into the bottom of the keyboard, and not removable (at least without breaking something), and that the wires are not easily detached from the speaker. Any suggestions?

Options

You can lift up the speaker with a flat head screwdriver or something alike, it’s not soldered nor glued, just pressure kept in place. However that doesn’t solve your problem, you’d either have to find a replacement which I’ve never seen sold anywhere or if you can live with it you could solder the wires to the logic board.

Good thing I found the skeletal remains of an extra A1342 lying around for parts! Which includes the speaker with intact connector! THANKS!!!

@feelbone A small digging gold from waste, that's why I'm so reluctant to throw anything it might turn out useful one day ;) You're welcome!
