This actually work😌I was about throw away my earbuds, then I search for videos to fix my earbuds and this video actually helped me and now my earbuds are charging😌thank you so much

[@nyelectriciantalk]

No problem happy to help! 👍

[@MikeHunt-wx4wk]

Gave this a half chance of fixing the problem but it did..thanks you saved me from buying a new pair of bud's.

[@saronsine7429]

I can't thank you enough, God bless u brother!

[@juanebello5233]

One of my earbuds was not charging. I cleaned both sets of contacts (one on the earbud and the other on the charger) and nothing happened. Then, I just measured dc voltage in the non-working bud, and it's led just lilted. And voila, the bud started to charge as usual. I did not even have to use an external 1.5V battery to "stimulate" the earbud. Thanks for your video.

[@adamscobie6703]

Hell yeah, worked like a charm!

[@krishnathapamagar8175]

Left one is ok but the right one when I put it in the case it blinks for 2 times only then it turns off

[@ankstron2571]

I replaced the wires with paper clips that i covered with tape and sanded the tips using a metal nail file and IT WORKED !

[@usmseawright]

This worked! Thank you. I already exchanged 1 pair and it happened again so this was a great time saver.

[@nyelectriciantalk]

Happy to help! 😁 This is common problem with these headphones I have noticed, let me know with anything else 👍

[@izwanzainudin3932]

It works on mine too. Thank you so much. I been troubleshooting the whole day. I wish I tried this a lot sooner. Hahaha

[@ahmedalnoamany]

thank you bro 😊

[@justinc.242]

Yep, tried multiple batteries, multiple times made sure I followed instructions. No luck it's dead

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

I'm guessing jlab is just building the ear buds with faulty batteries, I'm returning mine and buying from a reputable manufacturer. Mine was broken out of the box, even if got this to work I still have a worn out battery in a new product.

[@justinc.242]

@@thinkingimpaired5663 I went back to the store and got my 3rd pair of these, I still love them...when you get a pair that works. Just make sure they work before you leave the store and you will be happy.on a second note, don't get them wet or the noise cancelling will not work properly anymore.

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

@@justinc.242 Thanks I would but what jlab is doing is not using quality control to either place enough surface charge on the assembled product or just getting rid old battery inventory. It's cheaper for jlab to replace ear buds under warranty because many people won't use the warranty. So overall cost is low. These ear buds likely only cost a couple of dollars per unit to manufacture perhaps even less. I'm going to buy a more reputable brand. I bought the more expensive Jlab over the cheapest model to prevent any issues too. I'll drive a total of 40 miles because of these ear buds and spend 2 hours time. Cheaper to buy a more expensive product that has a much better quality control by manufacturer.

[@justinc.242]

@@thinkingimpaired5663 My first set of these were priced at 80, they worked flawlessly until I messed them up getting them wet and loosing one. Went back for a new pair they are 70 and had your same issue, dead battery fresh out the box. Went back a 3rd time and have another great working pair. What other pair do you know of in this price range or at all for that matter with a 40 hour battery life, loud volume, eq control, ANC and all the other features these provide? I am honestly curious and not being a smartass.

[@WontSeeReplies]

Nice problem solving.

[@reallifevibes4774]

Yeap, it helps. Thanks you.

[@bobclues2]

Is it possible to do with a paperclip broken in two halves for positive and negative charge connected to battery and ear piece? I don't have a dc meter though

[@nyelectriciantalk]

I don’t know I never tried, but go for it you have nothing to lose.

[@G________aaap]

Did it work

[@qwerty11111122]

I'm way too reckless. I came here for advice and eventually bought a second one to figure out why my case stopped charging. Simple enough answer that the power block I was using had loosened its connection to the case's cord. ALWAYS CHECK THE PLUG!

[@ribs9315]

does it only work on earbuds that don't charge? because mine charges, but only if I make pressure with my fingertip on top of it.

[@cefontanezi]

my case is, my phone discharges while it's in the case. When I go to use the battery is very low. Any idea what it could be?

[@kennethehiogu3757]

My Epic air anc casing stopped charging,any clue on how to revive it would be appreciated.thanks

[@nyelectriciantalk]

I haven't worked on those headphone I would recommend cleaning the connect and jiggle inside the case to see if it makes contact with the case. Something should light up if not use a battery to force the charge

[@IzzieNickole]

Hey, you seem to know your stuff, do you think you could help me figure out the issue with mine? Everything seems to be fine until I take my buds out of the case, they just won’t turn on. The case’s 3 little lights are on & the buds have the blue light that comes on when they’re in the case but when I take them out to try to use them they just won’t turn on, no lights or anything. I’ve never gotten to use them yet, I just got them. So I have no idea what the issue is 😞

[@nyelectriciantalk]

Try going into phone Bluetooth and connecting them from the phone

[@masterphil156]

hi Izzie, same problem here. the right does not turn on with a white light. very upset. how did you fix it, if i may ask? greetings

[@Hyperbolicproduction]

Same problem here. Blue light when plugged in but no power when I take them out of case.

[@dylanredfield2415]

I'm deployed military right now and won't be getting off base for the next two weeks and don't have access to a DC meter. Would you mind checking which is the positive and which is the negative on the left bud? Also if I can't scavenge any wire do you think I could strip a USB cable and use that connected to the wall? Please help, the idea of going two weeks without headphones is terrifying Update: I was able to scrap together some materials and did tried it and now the charging light is coming on the case! But still the ear phone won't turn on. How long did you have to wait for the earpod to receive the charge?

[@nyelectriciantalk]

You don’t have to test with meter, there is a diode inside so, if the headphone doesn’t light up one way flip the wires on the headphone contacts the other way. You can use any wire just make sure you have a 9V battery The headphone should light up from the battery then put into the charging case for 15 mins, the next see if connects with phone, If not the try syncing the two headphones together

[@noelmadi3576]

​@@nyelectriciantalk is it okay to use 9volts battery? I thought u said on the video that it should be 1.5V

[@gotupro3890]

On my voltage meter i don't have 2 i only have 1000, 200, 20, 2000m and 200m on wich to put it?

[@billpipi1]

Does the wire have to be 16 or 18 gauge? I used a 22 gauge wire and it didn't work.

[@nyelectriciantalk]

Wire gauge doesn’t matter as long as the current flows into the battery in the headphone. Make sure you have a good battery an if doesn’t work one way flip the wires on the contacts of the headphone.

[@daydaywiz2933]

where to get the wired because idk what to used

[@videocreator7490]

Out of 4 1 inner charging pin is damaged how to repair it?

[@dennisrogan4575]

Is this the only way, don’t have the meter, guess I’ll get one if necessary. Please advise.

[@nyelectriciantalk]

You can do without meter just flip the wires on the headphone

[@WontSeeReplies]

An ear bud that doesn’t charge if it needs to be charged.. Brilliant setup, Jlab. Junk.

[@mahoykabusk]

I've gone through 3 sets of these Jlab Bluetooth earbuds and they all do exactly the same thing having the same problem. Won't turn on. Won't charge. Won't connect. It's always the right ear too. They are total garbage.

[@justinc.242]

@@mahoykabusk my first set worked great till I got it wet which ruined the mics inside, now my second set I get brand new with right earbud dead. About to try this before I return it and try Skullcandy which apparently has a feature to find the buds if you lose them but seem like a cheaper set...wish me luck

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

Bad batteries installed at the factory

[@nyelectriciantalk]

All the headphones now are made cheaply and terrible quality to lower cost and increase profit. I would recommend buying better headphone with better quality. If any brand suggestions comment here👇

[@alkamzine8336]

True You got it right Cheap shit batteries (China) are selling Earbuds with very short lasting time & it would die after only one Single charge .

[@aryaafkar8365]

both of my buds arnt charging the blue light on the case keep blinking for 20 seconds after i place them in the case but after 20 seconds the blue light turns off and the buds didnt charge what is the problem?

[@nyelectriciantalk]

If the case was blinking and then turned off then your headphones are fully charged. But if your headphone turns off after a couple of minutes then the battery in the headphone can't hold a charge. If you can test the voltage on both headphones and comment below I will get back to you

[@rexmundi5180]

Mine case shows three white lights as if it’s fully charged but the case will not charge the headphones, can’t get the blue charging lights to activate

[@Austin_clips]

Same here…… but they are dead and nothing works

[@MARKWHO422]

So I tried everything right earbud blinks 4 times in case but will not charge. Left did say " Goodbye " and turned itself off. Anyone else have it like that. I think its dead and a new set is in order.

[@JDWSportsTalkshow]

what if my case isnt showing anythng when i plug that in

[@nyelectriciantalk]

the cord could be damaged and not able to charge the case

[@r.w.b.7683]

I have no charge at all in my case. When plugged into any/all USB ports nothing harges. No idiot lights on the case.

[@codezalo5773]

Hey! So I had 'lost' my right earbud maybe for 2 weeks or so (in the mess of my room), maybe a bit more. So put it into the case after finding it and it indicated charging but I noticed the light is a baby blue not a deep blue and definitely not white. Doesn't connect to my phone and the light actually doesn't turn off so it has a charge just not connected nor turning off. Tried holding down the button for 30 seconds, no voice prompts or change of light color or activity. Im thinking to just let the battery drain keeping it out of the case and keep charging it through the case after it drains. Thats the plan, maybe you've encountered something like this? My bro science speculation is it spent so much time off and not connected its just holding charge as hardware containing electricity not a device keeping its program. Iunno lol

[@nyelectriciantalk]

If the headphone is not charging or not lighting up then it is the battery in the headphone. I would recommend either using the method mentioned in the video to put charge into the headphone or buy better headphones

[@codezalo5773]

@@nyelectriciantalk right ill look into it! Can I use copper wire?

Is my issue is my left bud is charge but its not charging in the left aide of the case...

Have you tried the method shown in video?

[@Mellovespnd]

I'm having trouble with mines jbuds air. The left earbud doesn't turn on or off at all

[@Mellovespnd]

Also I have the air icon ones and the right one is muffled

[@UncleJacq]

I tried this fix and set my job on fire.

[@samranewbold741]

Hi there the charger itself is not charging can you help me

[@nyelectriciantalk]

If it’s the charging case I would recommend buying new headphone because you can’t take apart the case to do a electrical diagnostic.

[@SaxyJasper]

I’ll try that with my left one but my right one has a little battery but won’t charge

[@nyelectriciantalk]

Does your right head phone still work. If your right headphone charges in the case but then shuts off after removing from case then it is the headphone battery that doesn't hold a charge and need to replace Check voltage on both headphone and comment the results

[@SaxyJasper]

Actually something very weird happened. Both ear buds started charging before I even tried the method in the video. And they now work perfectly fine.

[@hectoralcantar9601]

I bought some about half a year ago and on one occasion it occurred to me to link them to my laptop but, oh surprise! They don't link to the laptop. unless someone knows how to fix that comment here

[@tiffanywilliam398]

After doing this my bud started lighting in the case but still cannot be charged

[@nyelectriciantalk]

Try cleaning the contacts and see if that will work and have the case light up blue

[@krishnathapamagar8175]

Same happens to mine

[@lolsniped]

i put one of my buds into the case it flshes once smoothly and then it just cuts off half way through the seccond blink

[@nyelectriciantalk]

I haven’t seen a situation like this before. I know when it blinks once and does nothing it means either the battery is full or the contacts on the headphone and charging case aren’t connected fully and doesn’t charge. I recommend playing around with the headphone in the case to see if you can the connection

[@youngknight5589]

Im having this situation rn with my left ear bud

[@nathan1eldan1el]

B Battery?

[@SuperLaw911]

What if the case itself is dead and wont charge? That is my problem.

[@nyelectriciantalk]

You have to buy and replace the case because the battery in the case can't hold a charge

[@tokotoko3592]

Just return under warranty. It’s two years.

[@ChefBoyardmeme]

So I tried using this method and my earbud turned on for a split second then I audibly heard the earbud go “hello, goodbye”. Gonna try this with a higher voltage battery and will update if it works

[@Greasyheels]

How did it go?

[@ChefBoyardmeme]

@@Greasyheels didn’t work, had Jlab send me a new pair under warren and they had the same problem out of the box. Guess I’ll have to just pony up and get a more reputable brand because I’m not buying anything else from them.

[@smokeriley4199]

The box itself won't charge the earbuds it's not lighting up at all bro the box not the earbuds

[@blackpanther6389]

Ok, the very last part is confusing. So am I supposed to put positive side of battery to negative side of earbud or put positive with positive?

[@jimmybones3283]

I am on my 3rd pair and I still have all of them. 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@lassitcl1]

These headphones are crap. It takes to too much time and effort to fix this product. I'm taking it back. It's like a job working on these headphones.

[@sargunsandhu141]

I do this on working jlab left earbud and it stopped working 😂any solution?

[@Roxie1011]

Bro at that point by new ones 😭

[@angelacarlton1550]

This may work but there's a way easier way cut your Bluetooth off on your phone, Place earbuds in the case, cap right earbuds seven times, then tap left ear bud seven times, take both earbuds out of case, replace both earbuds in case and then both should charge and be ready to pair. This resets your earbuds no extras needed. Or go to the next video down LOL you're welcome

7 taps does nothing
