Mic suddenly stopped working

[arno143]

I recently swapped out my usb port on my phone because it got damaged and I kept getting the moisture detected warning. After I the repair shop replaced my usb port about a week later I noticed that the bottom microphone stopped working. I tried everything, factory reset tested it and no sound gets picked up when I record. Could it be that the mic is not compatible or is it a software glitch. And how would I know if the repair shop used an original samsung usb port? Has this happened to any of you?

It may be a faulty spare

Which device is it ?, as there has been an software issue in the s series which keeps the device from fast charging and showing moisture detected on some device which gets fixed on it's own or from the next software ubdate

It's a samsung A34 5g

Was the device exposed to water?

[arno143]

No, I dropped it in the sand and then I plugged it in without properly cleaning it out and then the port got damaged and I had to replace the whole charging port board bc the moisture detected warning kept popping up. After I got it replaced the moisture waring wasn't showing anymore but I noticed now that my bottom microphone doesn't work

Then your board is faulty either replace it or change the board

[arno143]

Replace the mic or the whole board?

[Adil58]

It is also possible to change the mic only also however best option would be to change the board as they are not quit expensive

You see, I don't know if the repair shop used an original samsung board or a **bleep** one. Do you think I should risk buying an original and replace it?
