Loose Charging Port on H800 Headset

Loose Charging Port on H800 Headset

Bought this Logitech H800 wireless headset refurbished and it worked well for a year, but now the micro-usb charging port has become loose and needs to be at a precise angle for the headset to charge.

"The location of the screw holes here may help with disassembly.

Changing the USB connector will require SMT soldering experience and the right equipment."

I am on my third one .. headset works great, use it all day long but after a while the jack gets loose and then won't make the connection... design problem

It can be open and access to USB plug, but you will need tools to unsolder the plug and a replacement.

"I have the same issue, now on both h800's so time to fix rather than keep buying new.

I assume the micro usb jack is only using the 2 power pins (5v & ground), making it a little less challenging.

And as I keep breaking these by getting out of the truck forgetting that it's plugged-in charging, x I need a design that is more forgiving.

I plan to salvage a female micro USB connector from a cable and solder it in with the new jack hanging about 2-3cm out of the headphones on a short stub of cable.

The idea is IF I forget again, at least the pull should be straight out and simply unplug, rather than some angle and break.

Will check back with progress..."

Any progress on this?
