hi all

I have an Audio-Technica ATM35 mic. It stopped making sound. I want to crack it open and fix it- I think it's the cable or the joints inside the tiny mic.
The problem- I don't know how to open it.
I don't want to break it, so I thought I'd ask around first.

Once the cap is removed, there are 2 pinholes on the top of interior. I haven't tried yet, but I presume they are for either
1- unscrewing
2- some kind of tension release

which will allow me to get the mic out of the case. Has any one out there ever messed with a small mic like this?

thanks in advance.
