I know that we have some members who are really into DIY stuff.
I have an old gaming headphone which I want to revive due to lockdown stopping all online delivery. One of the ear cups don't produce sound anymore. How should I diagnose the exact area of the problem? And can it be repaired? The headphone has a mic.

1) Check the headphone wire. If it has any breakage that may be causing this issue. You can try bending here and there and check if you are getting any sound. This is the most common cause
2) Connection inside the headphone unit may have got broken. This can checking by opening the unit
3) Alos, post opening the unit, connect a battery to the wires and if the diaphragm moves, then there is no issue with speaker.
