corsair Corsair Void USB Headset heating issues?

[undercooked spaghetti]

Hi all, i just got the Corsair Void RGB (USB wire) today.  The left side that has the mic and the amp is getting warmer than the right side. Some say it's normal for the amp to get warm, some say it's not. Can the weather play any role? it was +40°C  here today. 

 

Any help will be appereciated

That's my best bet. The weather can play a role why couldn't it.

Hey Mate,

 

maybe You are lucky (if You still have any issues).

 

I have the Corsair Void RGB Wireless Headset since years and since some weeks i have had more and more trouble wenn its connected for charging while using. Disconnect / connect / disconnect. Suddenly the USB Cable got hot and the Ports of the PC turned of (which leads to a shortcut or at least high load).

 

I opened both sides. Left side is the the controler Board and the Connector Pannel for Charging.

 

Right side is the accumulator.

 

So I opened up the left side (take off the cushion and loosen all the black screws.

 

I checkt which parts are getting hot when connected. It was only the small Charging Socket board. So I disconnected it (unsoldered it) from the "mainboard".

 

Measured all the resistors (SMD resistors). Two of them are labeled with 000 - these are zero ohm bridges and they are ok to be a "shortcut". The SMD resistor that I have marked in the "Slotboard" Image was also zero Ohms and that should NOT be the case, even though I dont know the value that this SMD resistor should have had.

 

I Unsoldered it (the connection cable from before was already re-soldered) and testet the Headset again with connecting it to a 230V / 5V Charger. No heating up anymore but also no function / no charging.

 

So I just tried a 8,4 kOhm resistor that I have soldered in (Image "Slotresistor and "soldering").

 

Afterwards the Headset was good again and worked.

 

So if You are technical a little bit into knowledge you can also measure at least when your headset will break down completely.

 

All the best to You.
