Edit: see following posts for updates - this particular fix doesn’t seem to last, but I’m trying out something different. If it works I’ll hide the text below in a spoiler tag and write a new post. Frustrated as I am at having to wait for parts to fix my Super Nintendo, I thought I’d finally take a…

Just to link another post reg soldering broken mic, in case it somehow helps (I’m lost with all this, so apologies if you were aware or this actually the same repair) [image] FP2 Bottom Module: Repair broken µUSB port and or mic Do It Yourself Hi, I also want to share my…

Update: I received the leaf springs, they were a little too high but they were easily cut down to fit the available space. I soldered three into a module and it works perfectly - I’ll be testing it for the next week. And if it keeps working, I hope to finally be able to start fixing modules on a la…

Pretty cool. I just did my first teardown, and went a bit too strong on the two metal springs, which I sheered off with my guitar pick… Wouldn’t it have been easier to take away the metal sheet instead of pulling off the PBC plate? Well, now I have some more soldering to do… Where did you get the…

Yeah now I’m thinking I can just remove the shield, clear out the sponges, make the holes in the plastic a bit bigger and then solder in the springs. Contact is still not that reliable, though. Sound always comes through, but it often takes some tapping and flexing to get rid of background noise. I…

I soldered in a wire. It runs from square to square to square and then to one of the screw holes next to the big module connector - and it works! It still took a tap to the phone to get all the noise to go so it isn’t perfect, but that probably has more to do with the amount of experimentation this …

Woah, that’s great! I will do that! Can you post a picture so that is clearer to me? But I think I got it anyway. I’ll try that!

So I tried today to solder the little springs I sheered off while detaching the PBC-module :neutral_face: and to solder also a wire as @robbert.f described. Well, it didn’t work for me. Hmm. Why that? Any ideas? (I got the wire from an old telephone cable.)

I think that as long as you have those points all connected to each other and the wire connected to ground, it has to work unless something else broke. The mic is just barely surface mounted on there, I’ve knocked one loose before. But here’s an enhanced picture of a revised setup. [bitmap] Don’…

Oh, great! You give me new hope! Your module looks horrible, and it still works… I will get mine to work, too! :mechanical_arm: :man_factory_worker: I am back to my soldering iron, too! :wink:

Hello robbert.f, here is ale6 one more time, I wrote a time ago, in december. My english is not so good. But I wanted to ask you: can you repair the bottom module (microphone) from the FP2? Or do you have one? Mine is broken and fairphone does not send them anymore. I´m sad about this. It would be …

Not necessarily what you’re looking for, but did you consider this possibility?
