Based on my limited experience with this device, the component being replaced here is the primary microphone - not the motion detector as claimed. The other video showing replacement of the microphone is actually the secondary, or noise-cancelling microphone. I don’t know the exact components for the motion detector, but I’m quite sure that this is not that component.
