INTRODUCTIE

ID van de handleiding: 53124 - Concept: 2021-05-27

This guide details how to replace the battery in the Astro A50 2014 headset. Because the A50's battery is a lithium-ion, it will eventually burn out after a couple years of average use. However, there's nothing to fear as a replacement battery is only $30 and, with a soldering iron and a screwdriver, you can replace it yourself.

GEREEDSCHAPPEN:
Small Phillips Head Screwdriver (1) Soldering Workstation (1) Multipurpose Glue (1)

ONDERDELEN:

 For reassembly, follow steps 1-4 in reverse order:  Take care to ensure battery wires are soldered correctly with each color on its corresponding pad.  Use minimal amounts of adhesive to re-attach the speaker foam to avoid glue making a mess.
