Introduction

If you can no longer charge your Logitech G733 headset and you've ruled out a faulty battery, the charging port may need to be replaced. Accessing the power button requires taking off the circuit board, you can also access many other components with these same steps. For this guide, you will need a Phillips #000 screwdriver, a T4 Torx screwdriver, and a soldering iron. This is a difficult replacement. Soldering experience is advised.

Tools

Step 1

Gently begin to pull the left ear pad off, starting from the top.
Slide your finger around the edges until it releases entirely.

Step 2

Remove the four securing the speaker housing with the T4 Torx screwdriver.
Place these screws on the magnetic project mat so you don't lose them.
Lift the speaker housing away from the chassis, with care not to strain the connected speaker cable.

Step 3

Remove the screw on the bottom right-hand side of the headphone using a Phillips #00 screwdriver.
Use your thumb to gently pull back the tab at the upper right-hand corner of the headphone and simultaneously pull the motherboard out.
The scroll wheel may fly out when you pop the circuit board out. If so, just put it back in by lining up the two flat surfaces of the connectors.

Step 4

Once the motherboard is loose, pull the wire out of its harness.
The wiring harness is glued, so be careful with it. It should pull out easily.

Step 5

Using the soldering iron, apply heat to three pins on one side and wiggle the port free from the melted pool of solder.
Repeat for the opposite side.
This step takes a lot of skill. Be careful not to melt the circuit board with the soldering iron, and always solder in a well-ventilated area.
