Is this damage repairable? KSC75 recabling gone wrong

So I was trying to recable my KSC75s the other day, and desoldered the cable on one driver without any damage, but on the other one the whole mini circuit board or whatever it is came lose. I pushed it back but touching the headphone ground and signal wires to the appropriate places didn't produce any sound (works fine on the other driver). What exactly happened here? I checked behind the little circuit board and didn't see anything particularly wrong with it. It seems like it was just glued down or something, and the soldering iron melted the glue, hence it came loose, but it doesn't work?

The wires IN the drivers solder to that little PCB. The wires in the driver are roughly the same diameter as a single hair.

The driver is busted.

Well, you can try to put the pcb back and try your luck by sending to Koss. They might just send you new replacement. I'd feel guilty to do that though.
