Introduction

If you want to be able to communicate with fellow gamers but your microphone is starting to intermittently lose sound or completely stopped working, then it may be time to replace your microphone jack. A microphone jack enables sound to transmit into the computer or other device.

In order to completely replace the speaker, step 5 contains instructions on how to solder and desolder connections.

Before you begin, make sure you have the proper tools needed.
