No worries, we’ve got you covered! Just check out our soldering technique guide to learn how to solder and desolder like a pro. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 2
– Time to get handy! Start by taking out that lone 6 mm flathead #2.0 screw that you’ll see after you pop off the rubber stopper. You’re doing great—keep it up!
Step 3
– Gently swing the boom joint up and over its pivot point to unhook the mic from the headset.
Step 4
The back plate is stuck on there with some glue, so you’ll need to gently pry it off. Just take your time and be careful not to damage anything while you’re at it!
– Grab the flat end of your trusty metal spudger and carefully pop off the back plate of the boom.
– When reassembling, just add a few drops of super glue to keep it secure.
