Introduction

In this guide i will explain how to replace the micro USB port on a steelseries headset with a USB C port.

    • To take off the ear pads you need to twist them 90 degrees an pull them off

  2. kVBrTNN3ZXgbbPF1

    • After you've taken off the ear pad there should be 3 screws to unscrew. You need a TR6 screwdriver to unscrew them.

  3. A3QmQenHEQh6xwBW

    • After the plastic cover has been taken off you should see the PCB. It has 3 screws that you need a PH000 screwdriver to unscrew.

    • To lift the PCB out I found it easiest to lift on the top (opposite side of usb port) and push lightly on the volume wheel. Just be carefull not to break anything while lifting. I broke the usb port off when doing this.

  4. fJKtX2uX2JfVKtHC

    • Desolder the current USB port. (Im not sure what else to write here.)

  5. GgDUjtHW2JrPWFjw

    • You need to make sure that you are attaching the port the right way or you could possibly destroy it when plugging it in to charge.

  6. NNBgCovKsD2PMBQB

    • The first image is the result of a usb replacement on a Steelseries Artis 1
