Oh, I forgot to say that CN2202 is that broken connector and FB2304-2307 are that ferrite beads

Hello, got this Vaio last week but previous owner damaged the internal speakers connector and I want to do a bypass using Kynar wires - I saw that there ale soldering points for ferrite beads, which someone desoldered too, I guess it's just for signals L+, L-. R+ and R-. But the problem is with identyfing which signal is each ferrire responsible for.

The curious fact is that there is no separate Amp IC on board - signal comes directly from codec with coupling capacitor

Laptop is based on MBX-104 motherboard, which lacks any public available schematics

Here are some photos of audio section on motherboard:

Huh, they were not kind to that one. Here's some pictures of the cable and the PCB it connects into which you can follow the traces from pretty easily.
red and black = right
white and grey = left

Hope that helps 😀
What do you do for an on switch if the button board's connector is broken off?

Okay. I've fixed this. Here is wiring diagram for Kynar wiring:

Power switch soldered to the Capacitor C2301
Grounds connected to any ground on both boards

And now the speakers (just connected to ferrite beads):

FB2306 - R+
FB2305 - R-
FB2307 - L+
FB2304 - L-

Colors on speaker side are standard:
White: L+
Gray: L-
Red: R+
Black: R-

Hope it would help for someone
