Microphone cable & liquid damage

A MBA early 2014 that suffered liquid damage. I just replaced the motherboard and the IO board. The witness dot on the cable between 2 boards is red, but still functional. However, the microphone connection shows strong corrosion on the replaced IO board; and the microphone connection cable is also little damaged. The microphone doesn't work.

Has anyone ever changed the microphone?
