Turtle Beach PX22 Microphone Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

If your microphone does not work after troubleshooting, it may need to be replaced. This guide will show the user how to remove a broken microphone and replace it with a new one.

This guide requires desoldering the microphone connectors from a small board. It is easier to desolder and solder connections if you remove the board first. This step is missing from the guide.

Use a soldering iron to carefully desolder the microphone wire connectors from the board. Take care not to overheat the board or nearby components. Soldering produces fumes, so work in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling smoke. Always handle the iron carefully, as it can reach extremely high temperatures.

If you’re new to soldering, this How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide is a great reference.

Before you begin the repair, make sure to disconnect your headphones from the audio jack and the charger.
