Astro A50s blew up

[Gaming_Addiction]

I was listening to some music and all of a sudden I heard a really loud POP and now they wont turn on... They are $300 heaphones and I hope they arent broken @_@

 

They wont turn on and there is no light. They are plugged in but there is no recharging LED.  What should I do now?

You could start contacting astro costumer support which I have read it is pretty good.

Astro customer support should be able to help you.

There dead sounds like a cap or fuse popped,but I could be wrong.

RMA it. That would be your only option unless you want to buy new headphones yourself. But even if you do, RMA it and sell the one they send you.

Like nanner said, try RMA first. If you can't (warranty overdue), and you're getting a new pair, go for analog plug ones (the one with standard 3,5mm audio jack). I've had this problem with my wireless mouse. The electricity on my USB jack spiked, destroying the receiver dongle. Now I got 2 perfectly functional wireless mouse with dead receivers just sitting at my desk.

Your motherboard should have a fuse to prevent that from happening. you should probably talk to your mobo support.

Well, it's a 2+ years old (around 3) mobo, so I'm thinking ahead and guessing they'd say, 'it has degraded and start to malfunction. Unfortunately your warranty expired, so it's not covered', or something like that

That's a shame. But yeah that shouldn't be happening because motherboards are usually highly regulated which is why it is recommended to charge phones on them instead of in an outlet.

Well Linus did say the A50's are fart cannons .
