Speaker stopped working. Ugh

I thank God that our phones can be opened. My speaker stopped working today, so did some homework and watched a few videos on how to take the phone apart. I cleaned the speaker connectors and any other connector pads I could find inside the inner case plate (top and bottom speaker panel) and on the mother board and my speaker came back to life! I thought I would have to buy a new speaker panel. Saved some cash! I cleaned it with alcohol and canned air.

Update.

Speaker stopped working again. Did more investigating and some guys (in the NEXUS phone group) noticed that if you pressed on the back of the phone near/below the camera lens , the the speaker would work again. I tried this and found that if I took off the back cover and pressed directly left of the button area (UP/DOWN VOL-Home button), the speaker would come back on. So I removed the inner back cover and placed six small layers of electrical tape in that area to provide pressure to that area when the inner cover is reattached and screwed in. Well it's going on day two and the speaker works every time. Don't know if this is a great solution but I got my phone working again and avoided buying another 600-700 dollar phone again. Hope this helps somebody.
