Hi Jules. I've put on my magnifying ocular and cleaned the flux, debris and the burned coating. When I looked more closely with the magnifying ocular, I also noticed a kind of greasy film all over the circuit board. I cleaned this too and dried it with paper towels that I normally use to clean lenses.

When I turned the mic on, it worked! I'm going to do a test recording now and let it record for a couple of hours. I will inform you of the results.

Thanks again for the tip. Hopefully I've learned my lesson and will check any used microphones I buy more carefully before turning them on or bothering you guys when something is wrong. The NT1-a seems to be from March 2018. If it doesn't work as expected, I'll send it in.

I will buy nail polish soon and use it as a coating.

Many thanks!
