I was thinking of soldering on a new internal microphone and, if I can, power plugin. I broke off the mic when taking apart my Pandy, and the power loses connection periodically. I believe the inside of the power jack is loose and unreliable from general usage; I can use it if I get the angle just right. But that's annoying.
I already looked at the Wiki and the Hardware Hacker's manual, and I couldn't find answers to the following questions:
1) How dumb am I for trying this?
2) What parts do I need for replacement?
For the mic, it seems to me that this guy would work. But it might make my Pandora explode, I really have no idea. Which is why I'm asking even though I don't mind breaking stuff in the name of education. I couldn't find the power jack either, although I admittedly am unsure what to look for.
3) Any Pandora-specific soldering tips?
Tips as in "advice", not soldering iron tips. I have one that should work.
If there's any resources I missed, kindly post them and I will gladly educate myself.
