can the hinge be replaced and where can the hinge be bought

Hi Dennis, You should be able to do this, though it may take some time to be able to do properly. I just performed a disassembly and, though my headset had to be put down for science, I now have an available headband unit if you are interested for purchase. Feel free to contact me to negotiate price if you are interested. I will be posting something of a teardown in a few days, in case you want a preview of what will be required.

I also have this same issue. I have the parts to fix it but I can’t tell exactly where or how to install the new hinge I purchased. Does anyone know how to replace these?

I also have the same problem have the parts but dont know how to change them over. Any advice?? Tia

I have the Studio 2.0 wireless. The lights on the charge port side have gone out… I wore them while running (like I always do) but the lights went out. So I took them apart to let dry. Now I don’t know how to put them together again (like humpty dumpty)… I have searched the web. The deep groove in the band is blocking me. Lol

Fixing it is kind of a pain in the ass. I was able to get the hinges off from eBay. To replace them, you need to remove the cushion on the side of the broken hinge. Then, you’ll be able to see the screws (I think they are star shaped) and remove all of them until you arrive to the motherboard. The hinge is screwed to the headband so unscrew that. Afterwards, you see that in order to take off the broken hinge, you’ll need to disconnect all the cables off the motherboard (I highly suggest you to take pictures of the connections before unplugging), that’s because later you’ll need to solder all of them. Remove the broken hinge, screw the replacement one, and place the flat cable in the midle, then solder the cables that go to the main motherboard and pass the rest of the cables through the hole so they can go to the speakers, etc. This part is a little tricky, in order to make the hinge and the part of the headphone to stick together, you’ll need to apply pressure to both pieces so they can seal together (in my case I use a little twiser and gently pressed till they clapped). Continue reassembling, and then solder the rest of the cables. Screw the speaker back into place, and put the cushion back again. And there you go, you’ll have your headphones working as new again. In my case I repaired the left side and 3 days later the right side broke, it’s a similar process either way. I was lucky I bought both left and right hinges for like 20 bucks

just buy the service on ebay better then risking breaking the plastic of your beats

I need help! Anyone someone. I wasn’t trying to post an answer just a question… My blue beat headphonesnot sure the model exactly but they are stuck on one side from going down to make them the smallest they go. ?
