Introduction
If your Skullcandy Hesh 3 headphones (model S6THW) aren't charging properly, use this guide to help replace the charging port. Before proceeding with this guide be sure to check for debris within the charging port. You can easily remove debris with a small dust blower or use a toothpick to clean it out.
Prior to starting this repair, you may refer to the Troubleshooting page for other possible reasons for the charging port issues you're experiencing. In addition, make sure to power down the headphones completely and disconnect them from any external power source.
This guide requires soldering. Soldering irons are very hot and have the potential to burn or cause a fire. Please use with caution. If you're unfamiliar with soldering or desoldering or need a refresher, refer to the How to Solder and Desolder a Connection guide.
