Broken speaker connector on logic board

Hello.

I’ve broken the plastic part which holds the flex cable in place, off the connector for right speaker on the logic board of my A1708 MacBook Pro. Anyone knows if there is maybe an easy fix for this aside from replacinig the whole logic board?

Damaged connector is outlined on the first picture and normal un-damaged one on the second picture, for easier understanding.

Someone with the proper tools and skills can replace the connector.

Where are you located country and nearest city? Maybe we can point you to someone local.

I'm located in Europe - Slovenia in the city of Maribor.

Does the whole connector needs to be replaced, or is it possible to just replace the plastic part?

@mat3jko - Sorry I don't know of anyone in Maribor. Right now you likely can't travel do to the scourge messing us all up. Are you able to get to a larger city?

Sadly, the whole connect needs to be replaced.

Yes, I can get to a larger city in our country, but there is only one larger than Maribor anyway. :)

@mat3jko - Ouch! Just didn't realize Google Earth didn't make it the largest. You'll need to do some searching for someone skilled in micro soldering and has access to the part (likely from a junker)
