Microphone replacement

[kaneda79]

Hallo,

I'am new on this forum and this is my first post.

Anyone knows where to buy a microphone replacement for Yi 4K camera or how Yi support works?

My camera is fallen into a rice field, i had to open it to drain the water so i have lost the warranty.
The camera is working fine despite the accident, but microphone is not working anymore.

I asked to the Yi support where to buy the spare part or how to send the camera to assistance and how much it costs, but no answers since my request sent 5 days ago.

I searched all over the internet but i couldn't find where to buy mic replacements.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
One guy posted a link somewhere (sorry I don't remember where) for a spare microphone:
https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/327...32757041033&shortkey=muqInU7n&addresstype=600
It's for Galaxy S3 smartphones, not Yi 4K but it looks very similar.
Very cheap, so I placed an order for one set of 10 (!) to replace the left mic of my 4K which is down. I'll let you know if it works.
/!\ Very small part, requires skill in electronic soldering /!\
