Zoom H1 Handy Recorder Battery Terminal Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Welcome to the Zoom H1 Handy Recorder guide to replace the battery terminal. It will happen at times that the battery terminal corrodes, suffers damage, or ages in quality, making the device not work properly or cease to turn on in general. This guide will provide step-by-step instructions to help you replace the battery terminal. Although this guide is easy to follow, there is a special skill necessary: soldering.

Caution! About soldering: there are some hazards to be aware of, necessary equipment, and the act of soldering itself. Luckily, iFixit has a Wiki on all of the above! Click here to access the Wiki. Now go and make your Zoom H1 Handy Recorder work like new again!

Caution is needed with step 5. My backside broke off using a spudger to attempt to remove.
