Step-by-Step: How to Replace the Battery in a Corsair Virtuoso
Step 1: Remove the ear pad
Remove the ear pad on the side opposite the mic. Just twist it and it pops off.
Step 2: Remove the speaker housing
Remove the four screws with a Phillips screwdriver, then gently pull up the speaker housing.
Tip: A wire connects to the speaker housing. Don’t pull, yank or twist it.
Step 3: Unplug the battery
Use a plastic pry tool to gently pry the battery plug out of its socket.
Tip: Be careful not to damage the plastic.
Step 4: Remove the old battery
Pick away any adhesive holding the battery and clean out the crumbs. Pry the battery up slowly. Small wires are connected in the back, and the plug may be tucked under a black wire, so lift that wire a little to free the plug.
Step 5: Check the plug polarity
Compare the new battery’s plug with the original. Red is positive (+) and black is negative (-). If the new plug is reversed, gently lift the two plastic tabs on top of the plug with a very small screwdriver or blade, pull each wire out gently and swap them to match the original.
Tip: Don’t let the red and black wires touch while they’re out of the plug.
Step 6: Install the new battery
Put a little flexible adhesive on the back of the new battery, press it into place and hold it for a couple of minutes.
Step 7: Plug in and test
Push the connector in with your thumbnail and move the wires aside so they aren’t on top of the battery. Plug in the charger to confirm the light comes on, then unplug it.
Step 8: Reassemble
Line up the speaker housing holes, reinstall the screws and twist the ear pad back on.
Get back in the game.
