    • Use the spudger tool to gently scrape away the adhesive holding in the microphone.

    • When working with electronics, it's important to choose a tool that's ESD-safe to avoid accidental damage to the device. The regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool should be used whenever possible.

    • There are three solder points that need to be desoldered.

    • If you need help with desoldering refer to How to Solder and Desolder Connections help. After these are removed the battery should be free.

    Its easy to cut wires then connect new battery using solderless connectors.

    Nice job. Wasn't able to use the same battery though. I just used something that I could find in a local electronic shop near home and made renovations to the battery housing for it to fit. Thanks you!

I work in A/V. I frequently need to adjust audio systems.

I want to add a switch to the speaker wire, so I can turn the speaker off, and use the line out port only, in order to test audio systems with a Bluetooth reciver.

I can be at the mixing board, adjusting sliders while the music is playing, with no cables.

Will this work?
