Mobile Microphone Repair Service in Caroline Springs

Why your microphone stops working (common causes)

Microphone faults aren’t always “dead mic = replace it”. Often it’s one of these:

• Blocked mic mesh/grill (pocket lint, makeup dust, sanding dust, pocket fluff)
• Liquid exposure (water, rain, coffee splash, bathroom steam)
• Impact damage after a drop (mic module crack, flex damage, connector shift)
• Software routing issues (Bluetooth, app permissions, iOS/Android glitches)
• Corrosion on connectors (especially after water damage)
• Board-level audio line faults (less common, but fixable in many cases)

Quick diagnosis checklist

Before you assume the mic is “gone”, run this quick checklist. It saves time and sometimes saves money too.

1) App permissions (microphone access)

• iPhone: Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone → enable for WhatsApp/FaceTime/your apps
• Android: Settings → Apps → (App name) → Permissions → allow Microphone

2) Test steps: voice recorder + video + calls

Do three tests (this helps identify which mic is failing):

• Record a voice memo / voice recorder
• Record a video with sound
• Make a normal call and a speakerphone call

If it works in one test but not the others, it may be a different microphone (many phones have 2–4 mics).

3) Bluetooth routing checks

• Turn Bluetooth off
• Disconnect car kits / earbuds
• Retry a call and voice note
  Sometimes audio is being routed to another device without you noticing.

4) Safe cleaning guidance (mesh blockage)

• Use a soft dry brush (like a clean toothbrush) gently over the mic area
• Avoid pins/needles (easy to damage the mesh or mic membrane)
• Avoid liquids or sprays (they push dirt deeper)

If it still sounds muffled after safe cleaning, bring it in — we’ll check the grill, seals, and mic port properly.

Microphone Repair for all Mobile Brands

A) iPhone Microphone Repair Caroline Springs

iPhones often have multiple mics: bottom (calls), top (noise-cancelling/Siri), and others used for video. So the symptom matters.

iPhone mic not working on calls

• Often linked to the bottom/main mic or mic port blockage
• We test call audio, speakerphone, and voice memo to confirm the mic path

iPhone mic not working on WhatsApp/voice notes

• Common causes: app permission, iOS privacy settings, or routing
• If permissions are fine, we check mic selection and hardware

Video has no sound

• Usually points to video mic or top mic path
• We test camera video + dictation + voice memo to isolate the faulty mic

Bottom mic vs top mic explained (simple)

• Bottom mic: voice on normal calls
• Top mic: noise cancelling, Siri, sometimes speakerphone clarity
  Different mic = different fix, so you don’t overpay.

Water damage / corrosion checks

• We open, inspect, and treat corrosion (if possible)
• If a mic module is corroded, replacement may be needed

B) Samsung Microphone Repair Caroline Springs

Samsung devices are great, but mic issues can show up after dust exposure, a fall, or moisture.

Mic cutting in/out

• Often a flex or connector issue
• We test stability while gently checking connector seating

Noise-cancelling mic issues

• If background noise becomes louder than your voice, the top mic may be affected
• We run call tests and noise suppression checks

Voice recorder not working

• Could be a permission setting, or mic path fault
• We test the recorder + video + call path

After-drop mic failure diagnosis

• Drops can crack a mic module, loosen a connector, or damage a flex
• We diagnose first so you’re not paying for the wrong part

C) WhatsApp / Social App Microphone Fix (Caroline Springs)

Sometimes your mic works on phone calls but fails on apps — that’s usually software or permissions, not the mic itself.

Mic works on calls but not on apps

• Check permissions and in-app settings
• Re-test after a restart and Bluetooth off

App permission + privacy settings

• We verify permissions, app privacy, and any OS-level mic blocks

App update/reinstall checks

• Updating or reinstalling WhatsApp/Messenger can fix glitches
• We’ll advise what to do first (safe steps, no data loss surprises)

Hardware vs software signs

• Software sign: works in one app but not another
• Hardware sign: muffled/quiet everywhere, cutting out in all tests

D) Microphone Not Working After Water Damage

Water damage is time-sensitive — quick steps can improve the outcome a lot.

What to do immediately (don’t charge if wet)

• Turn it off
• Do not charge
• Don’t use a hair dryer (pushes moisture deeper)
  Bring it in as soon as you can.

Corrosion clean-up process

• We inspect internally, clean corrosion, treat affected areas, and test mic lines
• If mic modules are damaged, we replace what’s necessary

Success factors + realistic outcomes

• Fresh water + quick action = better chance
• Salt/chlorinated water or delayed drying = harder repair, sometimes board damage

Preventing repeat issues

• We’ll recommend proper drying, seal checks, and what to avoid next time (simple stuff that helps)

E) Voice Recording / Video Sound Fix

If voice memos or video sound is gone, the device might be using a different mic than your call mic.

Voice memo/recorder not picking sound

• Permission check first
• Then mic path test and mic port inspection

Video records silently

• Often linked to the camera/video mic or top mic route
• We test with multiple camera modes (front/rear)

Microphone selection issues (multiple mics)

• Some phones switch mics depending on mode (calls, speaker, video, dictation)
• We identify which mic is failing so repair is accurate

Repair options (cleaning vs replacement)

• If blocked: cleaning + mesh service
• If damaged: module or flex replacement
• If corrosion/board path: advanced diagnosis
