Many thanks for sharing. I too had this issue where I tore the flex extension cable while swapping screens on my iphone 6plus. The socket tore off the flex cable and was stuck to the touch ID connector. I tried using a needle but realized quickly that I was more likely to destroy the connectors fine wires. Saw this; stuck double sided adhesive tape (used the No More Nails brand as it’s a little spongy and I had it around) onto a plastic spudger/pry tool. Pressed it onto the connector/firmly and pulled up quickly. Repeated this a few times. Worked within 3-5 pulls (10 seconds max). Thanks again, saved the screen and me from having to lose TouchID.
SUMMARY: Clean the earpiece grill with alcohol/q-tip AND A needle tip before replacing quiet earpiece
So. I bought a used iphone 6. Installed a plastic screen protector (expensive self healing kind) and then gave it to my mom. She complained that the earpiece was very quiet... and indeed it was. I immediately thought I had damaged the iphone earpiece when I used water to install the screen protector so I order a new one online.
Install the new earpiece speaker. Still soft... Look up online... common problem, they suggest cleaning with alcohol/q.tip. I do this several times, disassemble and reposition speaker, reassemble... STILL SOFT.
At this point I'm about to throw in the towel... However, Last ditch effort, I disassemble the earpiece and using the tip of a steel needle/pin, i gently scratch the speaker grill from the inside to scrape out any particles.
IT WORKS. you need the needle because alcohol alone may not dissolve the crud that is blocking the earpiece grill. Just a suggestion.

Who the !&&* designs a hard drive location that requires complete disassembly of the motherboard and the laptop to replace. Horrible, horrible design.
This is important. I’ve serviced a lot of iphones/ipads for my family as a hobby in the past.
The adhesive was so tight, I cracked the screen trying to pull it/pry it off.
I highly suggest heating at least the bottom edge enough to soften the adhesive
