How to fix a bad microphone on the iPad

If the microphone on your iPad has stopped working, first try cleaning the little holes. The iPad microphone is tiny and the holes in front of it can get clogged. If cleaning the microphone holes doesn't work, you can plug in an external microphone or use the microphone on an iPhone's headphones. If you want to take the iPad apart and replace the microphone, other people have made videos showing how to do that. My solution is simpler and doesn't require you to take the iPad apart. That is how to fix a bad microphone on an iPad.
