R.I.P. perfoheisers

by perforator • 7 Jan 2008, 12:18 • Journals
Dear Crossfire,

after 1 year and 7 months of good service, my microphone finally died on me after me being so stupid to answer a phonecall and walking away with the headset still hanging around my neck.

All parts are still Estonia intact, I just think it\'s the wire connected to the microphone that's pretty much broken.

Are there any cheap ways to perhaps fix the microphone without screwing my whole headset up (e.g. can I open it to see if the wires still connect), or should I just look for some random 5euro microphone somewhere in a store?

Regards

Ducktape fixes everything! And if it still doesn't work apply another roll of tape! gl hf!

It's a problem in the wires, nothing broke down or something. :p

Hm Im no expert but doesnt oxygen in the wires cause crackling static noise and even the failure of the whole mic?

Duct tape, fagg0ts

"Is it Duct or Duck? We don&#8217;t want you to be confused, so we will explain. The first name for Duct Tape was DUCK. During World War II the U.S. Military needed a waterproof tape to keep the moisture out of ammunition cases. So, they enlisted the Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division to manufacture the tape. Because it was waterproof, everyone referred to it as &#8220;duck&#8221; tape (like water off a duck&#8217;s back). Military personnel discovered that the tape was good for lots more than keeping out water. They used it for Jeep repair, fixing stuff on their guns, strapping equipment to their clothing... the list is endless."


Some claim this is false though, I don't know what to believe, I use "duct" anyway

If you had just pulled out the microphone wire and it's not connected properly atm you should open up the headset and try to solder the wire so it will be connected properly once again.

perforator 7 Jan 2008, 12:27
Ok, I will try that later I suppose. :> thanks

same happened to my sennheisser. I tried to open it up as well to see if I could simply fix the wiring, but trust me, simply get a new one cuz wiring in that thing is so anal and micro.

You just need to fix the Estonia interface between your Sweden mic(k) and the Finland wire. Don't be Germany weak and follow the United Kingdom sheep, thinking it'll just be Finland mystically fixed - that's Slovenia insane and only happens in your Spain dr3ams!

perforator 7 Jan 2008, 16:32
Well Netherlands I would normally use my Europe warranty, but seeing as Europe MediaMarkt is a Belgium BiatcH considering things such as Europe warranty and I don't even know whether or not I still have it, I am not in the mood at all to use my Europe warranty.

It would be a Netherlands Goodie idea though to Germany F(l)ixX my Estonia InterFace, although I am not that much of an England Engi...
