How do I remove the microphone in the remote/stick?
I don't trust Amazon Alexa to listen on private conversations, and I don't trust it being "muted" either. How can I physically pull the microphone out?

Hi
If you look at the photo linked below you will see the microphone circled in red
You can disable it in 2 ways
1) the best way,get a hot air rework station and melt the solder that holds the microphone on the take it off with some tweasers while applying about 350deg c from the hot air station
Or
2)this method doesn’t take it off but makes it borderline useless,you could cover it it a fair ammount of glue,this will make it so it can’t pick up any sound up easily
Also here’s the disassembly guide
Amazon Fire Stick 4k Remote Teardown
Hopefully this helps
Any questions please ask
Thanks:-)

You can actually flick/pry that sucker off with a really fine flathead screwdriver instead of de-soldering. I was about to do just that before getting the bright idea of just “flicking” it off the board.
Worked great!
EDIT: I know this thread is old but the information still applies. This thread comes up on google when us paranoid techies search for “Amazon mic removal” or “fire mic disable” so I thought it prudent to post a less complicated way of removing the mic that anybody could do (for those who can’t/don't own a soldering iron).

Do you have a mobile? Do you know about it listening all the time too?
