The microphone on my Nexus 5 has stopped working. Nobody can hear me while in a phone call, the phone doesn't respond to 'OK Google', and apps like a voice recorder don't pick up anything. I've factory reset the phone with no change. Is this something that can be fixed? If so, how? Thanks!
Is this a good question?

Hi Jason
There are few ways of trying to fix by yourself without changing parts inside the phone.
Here is video of fixing the problem. I do not know if it is going to work but nothing to lose if you try.

10 minutes and a piece of rolled-up electrical tape later and my microphone is back! Thank you very much!
You are very welcome
Did this fix and it works for a short time. The issue is that the screws have loosened up and the main plug from the power/mic unit is becoming loose.
Eventually your going to have to replace that mother board like I did.
