FP2 bottom module/UK

FP2 Bottom Module: Repair broken µUSB port and or mic

How did you do that? My FP2’s microphone does not work any more. There is no waranty left, so, having not much to lose, I would like to try to repair it like you. Currently, I’m at this point. I don’t know how to go further. I don’t manage to take the circuit out of its case. Won’t I break it? How did you do? [20210825_193626]

Is calling with a headphone a temporary solution for you?

Thanks. That’s a good idea. I will try that as a temporary solution.
