Hi,
I recently replaced my GoPro Hero4 Silver's front LCD and I may have messed something up. My camera no longer records any audio with or without an external microphone. I'm not sure what could be broken or what I disconnected, any help would be great!
Thank you.
Is dit een goede vraag?

I'm not at work however I believe the mic is in the top of the rear shell. When I get in tomorrow I will confirm this. There is the three flex cables that go to the board.. Check them, they can be tricky to keep in place during reassembly.

The 3 flex cables going from rear shell to the board. The top or first flex is the flex for record button, wifi button and the microphone.

Hello @laurence
Okay so from looking at the pictures, I do not see why 1 thing would affect the other. And what is getting me is that it also wont use any external devices. So my guess would be that there may be some small damage to the main chip itself. What you can also try is replacing the OLD LCD and see if it works then. This also may not work :/
Sorry to say,
Keegan

Hello. I have sort of the same problem. After i lost the GoPro to the ground, the sound will not be recorded. It beeps when i start recording and when i turn the camera on, but no sound when i replay the clips. Do you think this can be fixed by replacing the speaker with an new one? I have not tried with an external microphone yet.

That's the same issue I have, I don't think the issue is the speaker, but the mic. What I did to confirm this is to play a video recorded with another camera in my gopro, it played sounds, but when I played the videos made with my gopro in the PC, there is no sound, so for me its obvious that the issue is the mic.
I have the same issue, can someone insicate in the picture where the mic should be connected to the motherboard??
If the issue is not the connection, what can it be? the motherboard itself?
Thanks! :)

Hello @laurence,
This could be caused by a damaged audio connection. I would recommend trying to find all the information you can from the IFixIt GoPro Hero4 page
GoPro Hero4 Silver
But this could be caused by accidentally removing a audio connection or just loose cable.
Please feel free to post images of the device so I can view and do a recommendation. I wish you luck and feel free to ask me anything in this commend section.
Thanks,

@keeganbourque I was able to take the whole device apart and seem to believe I may have broke the speaker assembly since I originally pried the device apart in that location, does the speak assembly control audio recording?
