Chosen Solution
Should I try soldering the original chargin port back on, get a new one (which, where?), or is there some other solution (like connecting a cable to the main bord and having the charging port ouside of the case?)
mountain squirrel …. this can be achieved by resoldering the component back in place. can follow this guide here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdhlGrPt… any guide should do if you dont like this particular video. so long as the original port isnt damaged, you can use it. make sure to be gentle when cleaning your pads with new solder as they are probably damaged and you dont want to rip them off the board. if this occurs or need further assistance, post back here. if you want to replace the port, youll want a micro female type b. make sure to match how many pins there are.
Does anyone know what specific code or type of usb port this is? I have bought a pair of these headphones at a market without the port and would like to try and fix them
I just bought a adafruit li-oh charger and connected to the battery. Charger is so small so you can attach it direct on the phones :)
Hi everyone I don’t have such problem (yet?) With my steelseries devices, but I just want to let you know to be very careful with buying damages steelseries devices, especially those with broken charging port, or cables cut. Steelseries warranty requires the user to destroy their faulty device to get a replacement(break charging port for wireless devices, or cut cables for wired ones) In the end you could fix a charging port, and realise this was not the only thing broken.
The only way to get that back on is using a soldering gun like you mentioned in your question. Try not to get it too hot and try to stay away from the the main board. Getting the main board too hot can rest other things up as well.
