If the microphone is handled carelessly, there is a very high probability that it may fail. Breakdowns of this type, as a rule, are not very serious and they can be corrected on their own, using improvised means.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine the reason why the microphone is not working. It may not be the device at all, but the connecting cable. To test this, connect the microphone to an amplifier or any other device you are using it with. Begin bending the cable in various places. If you get to the right place, a signal will appear.
Step 2
To make it easier to check if the cable is on, connect the microphone with a different cord. In this case, there may be no need to solder the microphone. Locate the cable break. Cut it out and solder the plug to a new location.
Step 3
Examine the microphone carefully for visible damage. The power button may be damaged, if any. Try to fix it in the working position. I could have just jumped the slider. Remove the protective mesh from the microphone head. Check if the contacts are intact. Remove it carefully by pulling it towards you. If one or both pins are damaged, you need to solder them back in place.
Step 4
Take a soldering iron, tin, and rosin. To make soldering more reliable, it is best to use a special composition - rosin dissolved in alcohol. It can be purchased at any building supermarket in the tool accessories department. To solder the microphone, preheat the soldering iron.
Step 5
Strip the previous contact point. Remove the remaining solder from it with a soldering iron. Apply melted rosin or a special compound to it. Then apply some molten tin so you have something to solder the contacts to. After the tin has hardened, and it hardens very quickly, take the torn contact.
Step 6
To repair the microphone, press the contact with a soldering iron to the catch at the soldering point. Once the contact is immersed in the tin, remove the soldering iron. The tin will solidify, the contact is soldered. Do the same with the other contact. Make sure that the length of the soldered wire is not too long, because then it will be difficult to cram everything into the microphone body, and the signal quality will be much worse.
