PO-33 seems to use a top-port MEMS microphone. To replace it you would need to desolder it with a tiny hot air tip or maybe there is another special method. Then resolder a new one. Therefore you also need hot air or a special technique since the solder pads are on the bottom of the mic.

edit: special method could be „prototyping reflow soldering“

Fixing a broken microphone on a PO33 might be a bit tricky if you’re not familiar with electronics. But you could try checking if it’s something simple like a loose wire. For a replacement, any small-sized microphone that fits and works with your PO33 should do the trick.
