Ouch! The button housing is glued into the back case. You’ll need to take the HDD, power supply & left speaker so you can gain access to the button from the back side. You’ll need to use a heat gun to soften the glue which holds the housing hopefully you can get to the needed points to splice a new set of wires. FYI - Apple does not sell this part alone.

I have this problem too. Literally broke the cable when pulling the speaker out. Is there any where I can get a replacement? I connected the wires back together but I cannot get the adjustment on the hex to get it to act like a button

"Hey Guys!

I just experienced the same problem and was able to remove the power button using a heat gun. I replaced the button but now I need some new adhesive to put it back together. Any suggestions on what to do?"
