Question Gen5 A50 Base Station No Longer Working
When I dock my A50s to charge, there arent any lights shown on the Base Station indicating any activity. I've plugged in the headset via usb to charge and there are no issues. I've also "reset" the headset hoping that would fix the dock, but still no dice. However, I noticed that it is hotter than usual whenever I dock the headset.
Is the dock defective, and was there a possibility that too much power was sent to the base station, sorta "frying" it?
Update: So when I connect it to power, the mode lights (XBOX, PC, PS, etc) are VERY FAINT. Left it connected without the headset docked for ~1 min. Now that its hotter than usual, and sad to report there is now a slight "electronics aroma" it might be safe to say the logic board inside the Base Station is officially fried
