Logitech G930's power issue.

[Flashie]

My G930's are exactly half a year old now, and since a month after i bought them, the charging has been iffy at best.

 

One thing i'd like to state though is that i cannot return the headset for warranty as i've opened them up in search of the issue as i need them ASAP and dont have the time to wait a month for the warranty as we'd done before.

 

So heres the problem:

I woke up today, after leaving my headset to charge overnight as i always have done for the past 5 months using a normal cell phone micro usb cable. 

 

I turn my headset on, it is on for approximately 3 seconds, and then turns itself off. When looking at the power LED, it goes green when turned on, then flashes to red and then switches off.

 

I decided to open it up in hopes of finding the fault (Being an IT Technician and having the proper tools and all). To no avail though. I found no faults on the circuit board, nor the wiring inside, nor the battery compartment.

 

I'd like to know if maybe i miss checked something or if there is something i can do about it? I really would like to keep a good reputation of Logitech and not have to scrap these relatively-new headsets either.

amazon has a replacement battery for the g930 <£10. Worth a shot?

They dont deliver to South Africa - Evens if they do, the tax doubles/triples the price

Should have looked at your location, my bad anywhere locally you can source these from?

I'll possibly do so in future, but i eventually scrapped both of the chargers rather and am using a heavier-duty micro usb charger and it seems to be much more reliable. I'd consider replacing the battery in a year or so when the effects are noticeable of it losing its charge
