Fixing Our Phone

A couple weeks ago Isaac dropped one of our cordless phones into his pool while playing outside. Liz quickly took the phone out, removed the battery, and set it on a towel to dry out for a while. When I came home that day I decided to try and open the phone up. This was actually not that hard and once opened we let it dry out for a little longer since it was still wet inside. Unfourtunately in the process of opening the phone I broke one of the wires that connected the external speaker to the main board of the phone. The phone would still work without the external speaker as this speaker is just used to make the ringing sound and if you want to put someone you are talking to on speaker phone. Initially we just put it back together and the phone worked fine, however a couple days ago I decided to go ahead and try to fix it.
 
When I opened it back up I broke the other wire which connected to the speaker. The wire was really thin and just a few bends back and forth made it snap. I got my soldering iron heated up and removed the old wire from the end that was still connected. I had plenty of extra wire so I went ahead and soldered in two new wires and after everything was put back together it seemed to work fine. We have been using it for at least a week now and it works great.
