If you are experiencing issues with the microphone of your Ring Stick Up Cam Battery (3rd generation, model number 5UM7E5), this guide will help you access the microphone to replace it. Since the microphone is protected by metal and plastic structures, you will need tools such as a 00 mm Phillips-head screwdriver, spudger tool, hook tool, etc to access the location of the microphone. We recommend having a cleared space to work that is both clean and dry.
