What kind of mic are you using? Maybe the plugin powering is dead but
the input is still working [in effect].
I can't say I know how to crack one open and repair it. Given Kenya's
status as location for many documentaries I am guessing there are some
tech savvy shops there. Not sure though. If you have a working
backup that was very smart of you. I guess just use that. IF you
only have a few days to go then repair would probably take that long
anyway.
Maybe call these guys for repair..?:

I was until yesterday when the external mic input just died. The
internal mics work fine. Here is what I know.
