Randomly turns off and on - World of Warcraft Wireless headset

Hi, first I want to say how I really enjoy this product. Mic sounds amazing and picks up even quiet sounds. Speaker quality is great, the effects on voice are a blast, and the illuminating is just a nice touch.
My problem is this:
I leave my headset plugged into the USB cable most of the time. The headset stays on even when I am away from my computer but the computer is always on so it should be charging. I notice randomly that it will disconnect and reconnect repeatedly.
Sometimes after it does this the blue light stays on but it won't connect. I press the power button once and it connects and I can hear and my mic works for a second or 2 then drops again. I keep trying to turn it on, and it turns off right away. My current fix is to turn it off for about 5 min and then start using it again and its fine. I am assuming that I am draining the battery faster than it is charging. Or is it something else? Which leads me to the question; when its plugged in to the usb, does it use usb power or battery power while its being charged simaltaneously.
Thank you for your time and help!

I had the EXACT same thing happen... snapped and now flopping. Tried to do the "create RMA" and it refuses to take the serial number. Bought these on 10-17-10 and they arrived on 10-27-10 with my new alienware, dell pointed me to Creative to get it taken care of and I'm getting NOWHERE with the site.
What do I need to do??

    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.

  • My iPhone 3gs just randomly turned off and won't turn back on

    I was just using my phone, and nothing happened. As of lately picture mail, and videos have been sending as a text message to other iPhone users even while connected to wifi. My phone just randomly turned off and won't turn back on. I just got it in July so its not very old and I have the hard protection case on it. Is there any way that I can reset it or something?

    Hold the home and power button down at the same time.

  • My iPhone 5 randomly turned off and it now won't turn back on. It had around 80% battery life left. What can I do?

    I have an iPhone 5 which I got around two months ago now, it has been working perfectly but it has now suddenly stopped working. It has randomly turned off and it now will not turn back on. When I last checked it had around 80% battery life left, and I try to charge it now to see if it will have some life back in it, but nothing happens. What do you think I can do? Thank you.

    press and hold the top power button and home button on the front for 6-8 seconds until you see an apple appear, then let go.
    phone will start up now.
    **Do not do this while plugged in to computer.

  • Toshiba Qosmio x775 Randomly Turns off and on itself.. PLEASE HELP!

    Whenever I turn on my Laptop Toshiba Qosmio x775..it randomly turns off then turns on itself..sometimes for just 20-30mins or sometimes less than or sometimes in can run the for many hours..the problem is not with the Adapter because i try to put the battery and unplug the adapter and still it happens randomly..dunno whats the problem with this..
    Mostly i researched..they said it's overheating..they said to check if the fan is full of dust something like that..but none of it works..I downloaded a program CoreTemp to check the Temperature for overheating issues..and it's only on 45-50 degrees..and that program has overheating protection to shutdown if it reaches 90 degrees..but in my case in does not reach that degree and still shuts down..hayy..need help badly..

    SO FAR SO GOOD FIX GUIDE-
    If you own a Toshiba Qosmio laptop and you are having problems with it powering down for no reason, try this.
    1) Unplug all the wires and remove battery
    2) Hold down power button for 30 seconds
    3) Plug everything back in and start it up
    4) Hold F2 to enter boot menu
    5) Go to the Advance Tab
    6) Set Execute Disable Bit to Not Available
    7) F10 to save and exit
     SO FAR SO GOOD!

  • Mi ipod touch 5th generation randomly turned off and it wont turn back on or charge. what should i do?

    hi!
    i have the ipod touch 5th generation and last night i was using like i normally do,but the it just turned off and i thought that my battery died so i put it to charge but im pretty sure that my battery was at least 40% so i found that a little bit odd and when i plug it in it didnt make any sound and nothing showed on the screen. I kind of just ignored it so i let it charge the whole night and the next morning when i woke up the firts thing i did was to check on it. My ipod still wont turn on or charge and tried to connected to my computer but nothing shows up. i will really appreciate if someone could help me.
    thank you (:

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Iphone 4s won't turn on. broken lock button. It just randomly turned off and won't turn back on. Can't go to apple store because going on vacation. Please help

    iPhone 4ws won't turn on. I have a broken lock button. It just randmoly turned off and won't turn on. I can't go to the apple store because I'm going on vacation. Someone please help

    Your phone is broken; there's no magic solution for you.  You can try plugging it in to wall power and see if this turns the phone on, but if it doesn't, you can either go on vacation without your iPhone, or make the time to visit the Apple store before you leave.

  • Ipod Touch randomly turning off and on

    Well I just discovered that my ipod touch 3g is having some problems. It randomly turns itself on and off. I've read up on the forums and I am suspecting a little water damage maybe. I use little drops of water to clean the surface of my ipod and maybe somehow it got water inside it? Is it possible that this could happen? For now I put it in a cup of rice to try and get water out that may be there. But is there any other possible problem that's causing this? I've tried force resetting it twice but it's still having the same issues. Any help would be appreciated

    If you only restored from backup, restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • Airport keeps randomly turning off and wont turn back on!

    Hey guys,
    I've had this problem for a while now and it is driving me CRAZY!
    I will be randomly surfing the net, and then all of a sudden airport will turn off! (the shape you get when you click turn off airport - not how it looks like when there is no connection)
    So when I click on "turn airport on" but nothing happens! Almost like its not clickable.
    I've surfed online and tried multiple things. from just restarting (which works but then it will disconnect another time) to Deleting airport completely, restarting, and reinstalling airport. This works but then 5 days later it will mess up again. (But now its started becoming once-twice a day!)
    Yesterday I updated all of the wifi software updates and updated my mac update from 10.5.5 to 10.5.8, hoping this might be the problem, but it disconnected again!
    I've also tried taking the battery out etc.. but nothing works!!!
    any suggestions?!
    Zahra

    My daughter is having the same problem. She tells me it started from day one but so sublte she didn't think it was a software/hardware problem ( how could be its a brand new computer right) , and we bought it for her in 2008. The interruptions were not as often, and she didn't know it as well as she does now. She thought it had to do with our internet at home, and when she went to college it stopped. Inside the school network it doesn't fail, but this year she moved outside of campus and the problem has become a nuisance, like Zahra says, it's driving her crazy now. She went to apple store and of course the problem did not happen there. So they could not help her. They told her to delete all software and re-install, and so she did, but the first thing it did after that was turn off. It kicks her out of internet continuously, and the ariport light or signal turn off. The next step it was suggested was to replace airport for 175$ for the whole repair, and if it's not fixed they will refund, but what after that.
    I read somewhere that security updating can cause these problems as well as others regarding non authorized changes in system preference network settings. Not sure if it was related to a problem with a bad airport specifically, but it does with connectivity issues and interruptions.
    I think my daughter also updated from OS X 10.5.5 to 10.5.8, and her book is 2 years old. If someone can help Zahra, maybe you can help us too. Thank you.
    Thanks to anyone that can help.
