My arctis series 9x will power up for 2 seconds, then abruptly turn off. I've already tried the restart button and it still does it. I'm at a loss here and I don't have 200$ to spend for another.

SteelSeries Arctis 9x: Broken earpiece connector may-of affected headset charging

SteelSeries Arctis 9x: Steelseries Arctis 9x ear cup connecting wire?

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 14:53:06 -0700

The wire which connects the left and right ear cups on the Arctis 9x has become damaged, does anyone know what type of wire this is? It looks like it contains 11 core wires split between two plastic jackets (similar to speaker wire) however the core wires are colour coded. 9 of the 11 core wires are soldered to the mainboard and the remaining two are taped off and not used. Hoping to do a full teardown of this headset if I can get the replacement parts.
