Razer Megalodon – Virtual 7.1 Surround Sound USB Gaming Headset Maelstrom Wiring Repair

Step 1 Razer Megalodon – Virtual 7.1 Surround Sound USB Gaming Headset Maelstrom Wiring Repair




• To get to the maelstrom wiring you must first pull off the plastic cover.
• To do this roll the maelstrom over so the rubber cover on the back is facing up. The rubber pad simply peels off exposing the metal backplate.
• Then remove the four 8.5mm screws on the back plate of the maelstrom.

Step 2



• Once the four screws are removed, the top cover can be lifted off.
• There is a ribbon wire connecting the volume wheel to the circuit board. This is not permanently attached, and can be plugged back in if it gets pulled out.
• Remove the three 2mm screws from the circuit board to separate it from the back plate.

• The circuit board is now completely separate from the housing and the wires can now be inspected.
• Peel back the tape on the wires to inspect any damage to the wires if there is any.
