If you are in the EU, I could offer you to solder the connector back in place. Which side was torn off? The connector of the front panel PCB or the one on the other side (mainboard)? I believe this should be rather easy to fix unless soldering pads were also ripped off the board. Might still be repairable though. Send me a PN if you are interested. PN me if your Boom / Classic / Transporter display has issues!
