Through this guide, you will be shown how to disassemble the headset Astro A40 TR Plus Mixamp M80 and its motherboard, saving your headset and you the cost of replacement of the whole product.
A motherboard is an important component of the headset that improves the performance for many things, like audio. The audio is determined by the soundcard on the motherboard. Having a faulty motherboard can result in poor audio quality, especially if you use your headset in high volume.
Before beginning this guide, check to see if there is any dust in the headset audio port of the computer. If so, you can try and use an ESD-safe brush or small dust blower to take out the dust. Make sure to test different headset chords with your audio port to be sure the problem is only the dust.
After plugging in your headset to the computer and you still hear a background hissing sound, or notice an overall change in the audio quality, then you’ll need a motherboard replacement.
