OK guys. I fixed it. 100% it is a hardware issue. Basically Tomasz Góra @tomaszgora is correct. There are two tiny SMD components right underneath where people pry at the retaining bar for the screen connector. One is a 51 ohm resistor. The other is a 33pf capacitor. Both are size 0201 (very, very small). Restoring them will bring the mic 1 back. Attached pics below. The 51 ohm resistor is above the tip of the blue arrow and the 33pf capacitor is just below it. If the component comes off, it can take the pads with it. You can see missing pads in the first pic below. My soldering job isn't pretty but it works. I managed to pick up from what was left of the pads. The 2 pads in the middle between the resistor and capacitor are joined. That is where the signal comes from of goes to the other end of the 51ohm resistor. The other end of the capacitor is a ground. Hopefully this will help somebody. 100% fixed on mine. Stands to reason the parts get damaged when people pry up the retention bar to remove the screen. A nice chap called Stefan on GadgetUK Discord identified the component values.
