AM Recording only static

I've been using the audiomoth 2.0 for nocturnal migration. After a particularly heavy storm, without changing settings, the AM has been only returning static in recordings. Has the microphone or chip been damaged? Maybe a leak in the case (I'm using the case purchased with the device)? Has anyone else experienced this?

This sounds like moisture damage to the microphone. Is the vent in the case still intact?

Hello. I believe I have the same issue with my AM. After an unexpected light shower in the night, I found a small droplet of water sat on top of the membrane (seal). Shortly after this, all subsequent recordings had a noticable and regular "tick". One night, the recording failed altogether and I haven't been able to resolve this. I imagine this is a moisture issue that has affected the mic. Can you let me know how you got on with the repair process? I think I need to do the same. Thanks, Josh.
