Question Does anyone know the pinout for a MSI GH70 headset ?

[waldfruchttee]

I accidentally broke my headset and now the usb side cable is not soldered on the board of the small box for the headset.
So does anyone know the pinout of the headset because i cannot find it anywhere ?

First: get a sense of the connectivity (TR, TRS, TRRS) being used:

Second: use the information to look for specific pinout details.

Sketch out your own pinout diagram based on what you see. Map connections by wire color and pin position.

If possible use a multi-meter to test connectivity and confirm pinouts.

For a normal usb port. Also what upb port is it? A, B, C, or Mini
Pin 1 red
Pin 2 white
Pin 3 green
Pin 4 black
The ground will go to the sheilding arund the usb port.

it looks like pad 4 and 5 are bridged with solder, but looking at it i would go with this below. Pin 1 at the left and pin 5 to the right.

between the "pin" that is named 5 is a fuse i think its like one of theese thing next to that chip on the left with the number 100 on it

In agreement with @faalin. No 3.5 mm plugs or adapters involved - correct?

If at all possible try to make temporary connections first for testing purposes.

You may not get a second chance ( aka "do over") if the soldering goes astray.
