clear images from back and front of the disassembled transmitter would be really helpful.

If you are new to this forum, we can help a lot more if you please post clear focused pictures (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) of your boards using the manage attachments button so they are hosted here. Information and picture clarity compositions should look like this post.

I don't know what the values would be but two of the three missing parts are coils, L10 and L14, only c41 is a cap.

That circuit board must have really suffered some trauma. Those surface mount components are such low mass that they normally don't go flying off the PC board. For years, I've brushed over them with flux remover and tooth brush and have never lost one. But anyway, replacing a surface mount part would be very difficult as most soldering pencil tips are larger than the part. During manufacturing, the solder is already on the trace and a machine places the part on the board while a puff of hot air melts the solder joining the two. How you can address such a small working area is beyond my knowledge as I wouldn't even try. Assuming though for a moment that you could solder a surface mount yourself, you would need a schematic diagram and parts list to be able to identify the part series and value. And since the Chinese don't provide such items, that places you between a chestnut and hard place. I wish I had a better answer.

The only way to fix it would be having the schematic on hand and buying the components from Digi-Key, also being very good with an iron and flux to get them on. Really after paying the shipping for Digi-Key it's probably now gonna cost more than a new one.

How much is your time worth? Probably more cost effective to just buy a new wireless headset.
