Hi guys,
Before I write off this USB headset as needing replacement, I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions as to how I might be able to repair it instead.
I'm using a headset very similar to the one below (probably identical, only difference seems to be colours), which I've had for a couple of years now. Recently I've been trying to use it for voice conversations online but I've had intermittent (maybe 80% of the time), very loud static which has made it impossible to hold a conversation.
**broken link removed**
I checked the obvious options and the speakers are fine, it's the microphone that's causing the static (I've also eliminated the software used to hold the conversation as the source: the microphone is fed back to the speakers in normal circumstances and I have been suddenly deafened while using the headset on occasion and had to switch the microphone off.)
Anyway, my question is pretty simple: any idea how I could take the microphone apart without damaging it? It doesn't look too easy... no screws or anything obvious, just a seam in the plastic casing. I've had bad experiences trying to pry seams in cases apart, they've often resulted in huge screwdriver-gouges in the casing
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
