- Is your Logitech G432 microphone arm hanging loose? Here is the solution!
Disassembly guide for the left ear cup to reach the loose bolt of the mic arm. Make sure to use a drop of glue or Loctite between the nut and bolt of the mic arm so it can't get loose anymore. If this guide was helpful for you please leave a thumbs up :-)
At first i didn't see the 4th screw. Found it thanks to / gpf56th

i had this problem yesterday logitech removed the sticker and made it 3 screws now you gotta pull carefully up (with a bit of force) because the inner speaker cable was sevearly shortened
Thanks for the info! I'll pin your comment so other people can make good use of this info too!
@@THEMR2RACER thank you
I have an older model with the sticker hidden screw and even that felt anti-consumer repair as heck, your newer model sounds worse again,
I paid $180 AUD for my headset, I damn well want to be able to repair it for free when it is out of warranty.
BTW the cable for the older model is pseudo braided internally and it frays very easily, that's why I'm even here, was trying to replace the cable as a whole 15cm of the meter was damaged from just being rubbed or pressed against things
@@Rexhunterj not really its more pro consumer since the screws arnt hidden...i mean its annoying that the cable is shortened but its probably to cut cost but its now easier to open
they really are doing anything possible to make it harder for you to fix it, to make you buy more. I despise logitech
Bought a cheap pair from ebay sold because of the loose mic. Fixed in 5 mins thanks to your video. Thanks a ton.
Haha, nice deal then :D Hope they will serve you long and well :-)
Thanks for this, managed to get it fixed without breaking anything.
The clips are really annoying to get out.
I got it by pushing a flat screwdriver between the clip (the taller part) and the blocker piece (the lower part)
once they separated you just push them a little and then you can pull it apart.
CAREFUL though, the cable for the speaker is REALLY short.
you are a god amongst mortals, thank you so much.
Thank you for helpful video, I used glue on the screws to better fix the mic screw. 👍
That should do it :-) i used red loctite on mine. never to be loosened again :D
Wow, thank you. Great Video! Helped me a lot 🙏
You're welcome! Glad it helped :-)
Thank you very much for the video, you're awesome!
Thank you, very helpful.
This video came perfect. Well explained and not too long! Repaired my loose mic quickly! If it wasn’t for you, my headset would be destroyed already, didn’t see nor even noticed that damn black sticker.. I would have forced it open if was for me.. 😂😂😅😅 thank you! ❤
You're welcome :-) I'm glad the video helped you fix it! Yeah that black sticker is evil, didn't notice it myself at first too lol
Don't forget that drop of glue or loctite or the mic will probably be hanging loose again soon ;-) Mine is still fixed with it :D
Allah razı olsun sayende bulamadığım vidayı buldm. (Thank you so much bro. I couldn't find 4th screw and what a complicated build thanks for help)
You're welcome :-)
@d1xl1te fingerspitzengefühl ;-)
Fixed mine thanks to your video, i unsoldered the wires for a more confortable fix. As i'm used to electronic soldering back wasn't too difficult.
And i just fixed the right ear cup wire, it got cut over time with the little rotation movement it can do on itself. The other day i also replaced the full jack wire (8$ on aliexpress) now i still have to fix the mic, i will try tomorrow but i guess again it's broken wire (i hope not inside the caoutchouc of the mic arm). There are many point of failure in this headset, as if logitech didn't want you to use it for more than 2 years before having to buy a new one.
thanks! couldnt remove the clips so i just used pliers and twisted the other end that was visible right next to the clip where the mic is lol still worked
merci beaucoup tu m'aide beaucoup
OMG dude u helped me so much tyyy
Thanks
Thank you so much. I didnt see the hidden screw. Very helpful. Now I dont have to buy a new one:)
Yw! I ran into the same problem, found it elsewhere online that there's a 4th screw. I'm happy the video helped you!
thank you ❤❤❤
Thanks man!!!!
Thx mate
thank you
Good one, thanks! (If you plan on doing more of these, please invest in proper lighting, check streaming equipment, so we can benefit even better from your knowledge! (y) )
Yw and thanks for the advice :-) Lighting was insufficient indeed, but still not bad for my first "how to" video with the camera mounted to a cat scratching pole :P If there will be a next video I'll certainly light the place much more!
thanks man :)
Thank you very much! 👍🤝
You're very welcome 🙂
Unfortunately, I couldn't remove the 4 clips, no matter how much force I applied. So I managed to tighten the screw connected to the nut using pliers. Now it works much better.
If it works it works :D
Bonjour, je dois changer le câble jack, pourrez vous me communiquer les polarité par rapport au jack? Merci
I don't have that information sorry... Isn't it possible to use a multi-meter to measure what cable goes where? Should be possible to find it out that way unless the cable is broken very near the jack plug. The polarities are also indicated on the circuit board in the ear piece (See 2:36 in the video) Also check this website for information about jack plugs: mynewmicrophone.com/how-do-headphone-jacks-and-plugs-work-wiring-diagrams/
Hope this helps replacing the cable :-)
I accidentally broke two of the upper orange and red cable, what would you suggest to do? Maybe welding them back on?
UPDATE: I just did the reparing to the cables by welding, and it worked well, I'll let you know if it will last long
If you have the right tools and experience then that would be an option you could try yes. Otherwise you risk doing more damage than good I'm afraid. On the other hand, warranty is already voided, headset is broken, if you cant get help but do have the tools, why not give it a try :-) and don't forget, google is your friend. Work safe!
@@THEMR2RACER just did it
Nice to hear :-) Hope it will last!
I can't unpin so I didn't otherwise I'll break it.😅
Probably the easiest fix, is once you remove the sticker. Is to then put that sticker where you had the white paper so it stiffens the arm... reassemble and enjoy.
Lol, very true :p
Man I love these HP's but the four pins that are holding the speakers are a bitch to unpin ... I broke all four. No matter, the screws are holding it all together nicely. Mike is tight (maybe a little too tight). All works great.
Also: FIRST!!!
SECOND!! :p Yeah those pins can break pretty fast when applying too much force on them. Lucky indeed that the screws keep the whole thing together. I'm happy you fixed the problem as well :-)
My mic arm was loose again the same day after making this video, so as mentioned in the subtitles and video description i can advise to use a very tiny drop of loctite (or superglue could work too i guess) on the nut/bolt part. It hasn't loosened again until now.
How i can change the ( Im german Kabel) , I mean the cable who get in the phone ?
With a new cable and a soldering iron? :P
Maybe add litte Paint for nails on screw to keep it tight!
Yup, I used red loctite on mine :-)
I think this may void my warranty, I've had them for less than 3 months and today I noticed that the arm is completely loose without any resistance, maybe I'll go with the piece of paper solution
Only 3 months and already completely loose... I'd expect they would fix it in new batches. Opening a device in warranty is always risky. Probably best to go with the piece of paper solution for now indeed. If something else would break you can still use the warranty :-)
my mic doesnt work only in a specific angle cam anyone know how to solve
Sounds like a broken mic cable to me. Haven't researched that problem my self, but with a multimeter you should be able to test it (or just leave it plugged in and bend the cable a different point to see when the mic cuts off). at 7:16 you can see the picture of where the mic cable comes out of the mic arm into the ear cup. Mostly these kind of loose contact occur in the area where the cable moves the most when adjusting the mic arm angle, which is right in that area. IF the problem is a loos contact / broken mic cable then replacing it as much as possible would be the best solution, but can be tricky (don't know how the mic arm opens up for example, and the inner cables can be very thin)
Or maybe the problem comes from the part where the mic cuts off by putting the mic arm in the up/closed position.
Breaking it more then it is now is always a possibility when trying to repair such things, so be careful and good luck :-)
Yo, the mic problem is solved, but now I can't hear the sound in the left ear, how do you close the left case ? I think you need to place the cables in a certain way to make them work again.
like I need to align them with anything or put them in the hole ?
@@asrielobro0001 I'd check if the cables from the left speaker to the pcb didnt get damaged or loose from the solder points. Multimeter is your friend :-) Sounds like cable or connection damage i'm afraid. Afaik the only things you need to allign is the clips you had to push aside to detach the speaker part from the ear cup, but the connection is just the 2 cables. It has been 2 years since i had it opened so srry if i'm saying something wrong.
Hope you can get it fixed!
@@THEMR2RACER ah I think I got it, I entirely removed the casing where you need to screw the arm, I think it cut the cables, sad, I think I'll buy a new headset mic with no arm so I don't need to open a headset ever again 💀
@@asrielobro0001 Ahh that's bad, but not unfixable if you can resolder the cables, possibly with new ones. If logitech secured the mic bolt to the nut in the first place this all wouldn't be necessary... Hope you can still fix it!
@@THEMR2RACER nah I ordered a 100€ headset, with better quality, and with an integrated mic with no arm this time, still an upgrade so idm. Thanks for your video tho !
Drill a small hole and fix the screw
thank you so much bro.....i fixed mine now thanks to your video so you get one like and on sub from me 😀
You're very welcome, and thanks a lot :D
The cable can repair on this ?
Can't say for sure, haven't had to do that on this headset (yet :P ) you can always try if its already broken (unless it's still in warranty then I'd try to arrange for a replacement)
@@THEMR2RACER yes i will try and share later lol :D because my dog ate the cable lol :D
@@webbstudio that's a bad dog then :p Looking forward to the results :D
love u
Broke the cables inside 😮
Always a risk to damage something when opening equipment.... I hope you're able to fix / replace them!
I got a pair too and im affraid to tamper with it ...idk what to do..cuz it's annoying
You can put a piece of paper between the mic arm and body as i did at the start of the video ;-)
@@THEMR2RACER I tried but it didn't do much...like i said it's kinda jolting and im a little woried that if i continue using them it may get worse
@@lazartheodor10 That will probably happen since the nut is loose. The only way to fix it is as shown in the video but that comes with the risk of damaging other things like the very thin cables... Maybe if you try to jam an extra layer of paper between the hinge it will hold it better
@@THEMR2RACER Imma try that thanks
I accidentally loose the mic while using it for the first time pls help 🙏🙏🙏
That's a new record :p I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same problem: Loose mic arm screw. In this case you'd better return it for a new one, otherwise you'll void the brand new products warranty.
The hidden sticker 😐 Why they made it
So I could make a youtube video about it? :D
@@THEMR2RACER jes
i tried to fix the headphones but i got scared of pushing the things to get to the mic, i guess i will just bring the headphones to someone who can fix them for me
Pushing those clips to open the thing can be challenging and scary indeed. Hope someone can help you with it 🙂
That fucking thing just wont come off no matter how much i loosen that clips
I can be very tricky to loosen them indeed (also not to break them) You have to push them aside a little bit while pushing them in. Pay attention to how you hold the ear cup, you can easily hold the part you are trying to push back. Also it can happen that a previously loosened clip will pop back when pushing the next one in. If its possible you could wedge something like folded paper or something between the casing after loosening one of the clips. If you succeed, please be careful with the internal cables as they are very fragile.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
@@THEMR2RACER thank you im gonna try it
It worked only for 1hour 😭
Did you use a drop of loctite or other glue on the bolt/nut connection? Without it will indeed become loose again
@@THEMR2RACER no because I am afraid of breaking something 😭
@@charlesv7381 You can always stuff a piece of paper between the cup and the mic arm like at the start of the video ;-) (was my "fix" before i fixed it permanently)
But a drop of loctite won't damage it as long as you make sure its just a tiny drop that only flows between the bolt and the nut. At 7:17 you see the picture with the spot that needs to be locked in place. First use the screwdriver to adjust how tide you want the mic arm, then use the drop of loctite to lock the bolt and nut together. The tricky part is disassembling again without damaging anything. Hope you can fix it!
@@THEMR2RACER thanks. And will the "mute Button" Position be affected ?
@@charlesv7381 Not as far as i know. I'm not sure where the mute mechanism is located, but mine is still working perfectly :-)
i have a problem, in 3:05 i did the same clips thing, all 4 of them but the other piece didn't came off, only one clip did a click (bottom right one) and the others are out but the whole piece is still in place and i can't take it out, is there something else i have to know about the clips or any details about them? i saw a comment talking about a bottom and a top part of the clip and a top one but idk if the clip's important part is just the "top part" (the one that looks like a hook) and the "bottom part" is a part of the plastic or the "top" and "bottom" parts are like a separated clip as a whole, my point is i dont want to break the clips if the "bottom part" is a part of the plastic
in resume 5:25 didn't happen at all
What can happen is that a previously "unclipped" clip locks back again when working on the next clip. Maybe it can help to pry something between the 2 parts after loosening a clip so it cant lock back. Every clip can only be pushed in one direction to unhook, and not too much or it could break....
Hope you'll succeed!
