Introdução

This is a comprehensive guide to replacing the microphone of the CAT S62 phone.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning microphone are:

  • The other party cannot hear you during phone calls.
  • No sound or very quiet sound is recorded when using a voice recorder app or recording video.
  • Your voice sounds choppy, distant, or "underwater" to the person on the other end of the line.

    • Allow your phone's battery to drain below 25% (a charged lithium-ion battery can be a safety hazard). Turn the device off before working on it.

    • Use the plastic spudger to gently pry off the rubber back panel. If needed, use the plastic iFixit opening picks to help keep the plate separated. (Heating the back of the phone using a blow dryer may help loosen adhesive.)

    • Gently pull the back panel away to avoid damaging the connecting wire for the fingerprint sensor.

    • The battery cover is connected to the camera cover, so both covers must be removed to access the battery.

    • Pry off the camera cover using the iFixit opening picks.

    • Remove both plates.

    • The two plates are connected by a small wire. Handle with care and do not separate them from each other.

    • Flip the speaker over and locate the silver circular microphone.

    • Insert the pencil end of the spudger underneath the microphone and pry it up.

    • Carefully pull the bronze colored microphone cable upwards to remove it.

    • The bronze cable is fragile and prone to tearing easily. Remove with care.
