Why is my Bluetooth headset not turning on or charging?
I value my headphones, and when JBL Bluetooth headphones don’t charge or turn on, I was curious to know the potential reasons for the issue. The primary reasons I enlisted are:
Faulty Battery
Most JBL headphones use a 610mAh battery, which drains and becomes unusable with time. It doesn’t keep the charge properly, and you can not charge the battery.
Damaged Cable
If the cable you are using to charge the headphones’ battery is damaged or torn, you will not be able to charge the headphones.
Tip: Always use the original charging cable of the headphones.
Faulty Headphones Port
The most frequent reason for the headphones not charging is the damaged and faulty port. Sometimes after continuous use of the port, it turns loose or gets damaged.
Debris/ Dust Accumulation
The current flow gets disturbed by the accumulation of dirt and debris. The humid and soggy sweat disrupts the flow of the charge.
Long Time Not Charged
If you haven’t charged your headphones for a long time or about a week, it gets so drained that it will end up empty and will not turn your headphones on.
Temperature Factor
If you are charging the headphones at a lower or higher temperature that exceeds the limit of the headphones, then you will not be able to charge your headsets.
Note: It is recommended to charge your headphones at room temperature, between 46° F (8° C) and 102° F (39° C)
Battery & Charger Compatibility
In charging headphones, compatibility matters a lot. The charger you are using is a 10 watts universal charger, and the headphones require a 20 watts charger, which brings the charging issue.
Faulty Headphones
In most nominal cases, the headset is faulty, and you cannot turn on and charge it.
