I Broke My PS3's Power Button Cable During a Thermal Paste Repair

1

Yesterday evening around 7:00 PM, I performed thermal paste maintenance on my Sony PlayStation 3 Fat CECH-01 model console. The device was normally working before this, but during the maintenance, the motherboard cable connecting the power/eject buttons was damaged, and because of this, the device no longer turns on at all.
I currently believe the only issue is this cable/socket damage, and I need this part in order to use the device again. I am requesting that Sony either send me the appropriate socket or cable for my PlayStation 3 Fat CECH-01 model, or provide clear guidance on how I can obtain one.
