True Wireless Earbuds Not Charging? Fix It For Free! (THIS ACTUALLY WORKS)

[@alecferraris32]

The crazy thing too is that I still never even found out what it was that was causing my right bud to have this charging issue, but in any case this trick did help it start to charge again thankfully! Whatever the gunk was in there, it wasn't visible, but I'm just glad I didn't have to throw out a Damm hundred dollar earbud lol. 😅

[@pickyaudio]

Woohoo! I’m glad to hear it worked 😊

[@Im_Frustrated45]

OMG!! same for me! mine is only the right one LOL

[@simonfarrar4651]

I believe it’s a small layer of carbon that develops on the end of the pins which in effect blocks the charging circuit. By using the sandpaper you are scraping it off which gets you get back to clean metal again, which makes it work.

[@supermarinespitfire3760]

Omg same my right one has issue

[@discipulusthomae]

@@pickyaudio had it for a while now but i think one of the pins got pushed back and cant be able to be charged. Can you please help? idk what to do.

[@zekk03]

This actually works, thank you so much man I almost went to send my earbuds to get fixed.

[@ajiebkp]

Man, I almost threw my cheapo Mi Wireless Earbuds then I saw this and it actually worked! Too bad already bought the Soundpeats T2 as a replacement

[@hazemosama1108]

The T2 Is Much Better Any Way😂

[@i7vSa7vi7y]

@@hazemosama1108 On my 2nd pair of T2s. Dropped one ear bud on my kitchen tile and it's dead just like my first pair. Had my Trushift for a year and dropped them too many times with no issue only replaced them because the battery doesn't hold a charge from being used everyday for a year.

If you don't have sand paper or the sand paper isnt able reach the connectors you can get a cotton swap with some hydrogen peroxide on a tip and scrub it with said cotton swab, dry it off and it works too

[@spectrumxr5168]

Thanks

Just did it. Let's see if the right bud works now

[@damonreynolds6775]

Great idea but imo a clean cloth damped with a little alcohol could clean those contacts without removing metal as sandpaper will.

[@pickyaudio]

True that should work as well

[@isaachiz1395]

I did that but it didn't last. It lasted afew days only. Does this method last?

[@damonreynolds6775]

@@isaachiz1395 Nothing will 'last'. They have to be actively _kept_ clean. That is why unless you have buds to burn like YT reviewers, you can't be rubbing away the tiny contact material, which _will_ destroy them. Just today one of my Earfun buds was too quiet. After a bunch of troubleshooting, on a hunch I peeled off the little mesh grill, washed it in soap and hot water, held it up to light and it looked cleaner. Put it back on, boom, loud and clear again. Earbuds require a lifestyle change from headphones because they are far more easily affected by natural body oils, sweat, wax, dirt etc on their tiny surfaces, electrical and otherwise. I have 3 and keep them in a rotation so hopefully they all last longer, esp batteries.I'm also more attentive to keeping my ears as clean and moisture free as I can without hurting them.

[@sheki3994]

You’re a life saver, I’m travelling across the country today and I panicked not knowing what to do about my earbuds not charging!

[@pickyaudio]

Happy to hear your earbuds have been revived 🙌

[@SirGatras]

My problem is that I've used mine for 10 hours a day every day for a year. The once 11 hours of battery life is now 5 hours

[@dylanfrank7000]

Also found a quicker solution of drawing on the contacts on the earbuds with a graphite mechanical pencil. Works everytime for me 👍

[@christian170310]

Wait a minute. It's actually works for me too. Thanks for the tips dude 👌👌

Same happened to me with Skullcandy earbuds. Trying this now, maybe this will be the fix!

There is little to nothing more frustrating than thinking you've been charging your headphones all day and then arriving at the gym to find them still at 20%!! If this works on mine I will owe you some kind of monetary prize for saving me from further emotional damage lmao.

Haha good luck ✌️

[@demasdenisson4251]

Nice tip man, that is happened to my 3SE so i just grab my toothbrush and do this thing

[@throughheart487]

Thank you man you saved me from purchasing another pair of earplugs

[@Nadworks-cb]

Just be carful, people, not to push too hard on the buds' own connecting points (not the pins in the charger). I managed to dislodge them and push them down too far into the unit, and now they are not touching the pins anymore and won't charge at all. Cracking open the bud to reposition the metal connectors is not an option (nor is it a good idea).

[@dwb812]

Use a pencil eraser on the pins, not sandpaper which takes the outer coating off.

[@Mtb_Teej]

have no idea how this worked, fixed in under two seconds. Thanks for showing me this before i watched a billion videos trying to resolve the issue

[@eepmills]

Incredible! I had sandpaper and used canned air since I didn’t have a toothbrush….for my earbuds LOL. Charging like a champ!

[@pickyaudio]

Nice!

[@WhatIsfear96]

Amazing. Thanks for this video! I just rubbed the connectors on both parts with my fingers a bit and cleared whatever debris was blocking the connection.

[@adagiodisera]

I was literally saying this ain’t gonna work BUT GUESS WHAT. THANKS MY MAN

The fact is I cleared earbud with my toothbrush and it starts to work😅 Thanks bro

OMG, this actually works. I was thinking I needed new headphones. I didn't use sandpaper or toothbrush but a cotton bud and applied the same concept and they are working perfectly fine now. Thanks so much

[@JayTee713]

Those soundpeats earbuds where one of my favorite soundpeats. Im loving the engine 4 now

[@ramamoorthy12]

Thank you. The contacts on my earbuds were bluish (oxidation effect) and a little bit of sand paper contact exposed the copper connection and the units started charging.

[@James-yl4nv]

My goooooosh, this fixed my problem. I already contacted the shop and asked for a warranty, then found your video and its working noooow. Thank you so muchh

[@pickyaudio]

Nice 😊

[@brookekramer5099]

Worked on my Soundcore Liberty Air wireless earbuds! Isopropyl alcohol worked a few times for me when I put them on the contact points a few months ago. That stopped working then found this video! If you don’t have sand paper, a nail file will work too! I did that and used tweezers to get into the charging cases contact points and on the earbud itself. Thanks man 😎

[@Nibbler324]

my earbuds are in there case the right earbud does not charge to 100% but the left earbud does only the right earbud does not idk what to do this has happen to the last 2 earbuds/case iv had and its getting annoying like this is my 3rd pair of earbuds!

[@TimothyFerguson]

Thanks. My new earphones had tiny shipping tapes over the pins, not mentioned anywhere in the packaging. I found them when I was about to hit them with sandpaper.

[@TheCrutchbrigade]

It's so simple. Thank you! I replaced a pair of Skullcandy earbuds with Dre’s earbuds for the Apple connectivity features and these started doing it recently. I kept the Skullcandy earbuds because of the stay-aware mode for when I'm walking around outside. I'll finally be able to use them again too!

I used a q-tip and swabbed the inside of the case of the Indy Evo and also the bottom ends ports of the earbuds and it worked. Thank you.

[@faithviolet7810]

Wow!!! Guys I believe you can fix this with anything. I had no sandpaper so I didn’t think it was going to work with my head phone case, so what I did was use literally my charger piece to scrape it lol and before I did that, I used my toothbrush and I wet it up just with water and brush on my head phones. And I literally thought they was broke. But my face was in total shock when I put them on the charger and the red light was on them to let me know they was charging I was soooo relieved, thanks man you are the best ❤

[@PK.Soniclight]

Due to different build of the charger and of earbuds, just using a Q-Tip cotton swab on all contact points had the same result.

[@user-mx9ui2wj8n]

cleared earbud with my toothbrush and it starts to charge😅 Thanks bro

[@7beers]

I'm happy this worked for others. For me, this ruined my buds completely because it pushed the pins down in so far that they don't come in contact with the case connectors.

[@numbianqeeen4356]

That is because debris has got thick enough to block the passage of the pins use alcohol with cotton swab to clean it

Can I use the steel wool I bought for my crack pipe? Should do the trick right?

[@leeasbury7273]

I also use rubbing alcohol (70%ish) and use a fine mist sray bottle to spray a few good squirts of alcohol around those connections, but ALSO, take the tips off and clean those, and mainly...clean the little speaker grills best you can. Ise the alcohol, maybe the toothbrush and let it dry and wipe it down good. Alcohol dries fast. Probably 5 minutes is fine. Then everything will charge AND,if you have either of the buds losing volume or cutting out, most of the time....almost always for me, it will fix everything up and you'll hear them both like new again.
