Thank you! Had an orange light come on briefly after 1 min. Continued and eventually after a few minutes the amber light came on and the pump worked!!

Worked thank you!

After 17 mins of thinking that I've pranked by all (including those who commented) and thinking how fool can I be to even believe this, THIS ACTUALLY WORKED. Unbelievable but 100% True.

haha no way!!!! After watching the video I tried for about 30 seconds and was like this is silly. Then I read the comments and was like, ok I'll try for 10 minutes.... after 4 it worked!!! Our Elvie is charging.. crazy!

Legend, it actually worked thank you!! Saved me buying my wife a new one thanks again 😁

Thank You! You just saved us buying a new pump! 😘😘😘

This worked, thanks buddy, but here is a better method. Keep the small end plugged into the Elvie, then take the USB end that plugs into the charger and do the plug/unplug process. This way you're less likely to damage the pumps due to the small connectors.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS WORKS! OMG! Thank you thank you!!!! I was ready to throw it out and eat up the $500 😅 Thank you so much for posting this video!

I don’t know why or how this works, but IT WORKS. Initially felt really dumb plugging in and out , but because there were so many comments saying it worked for them, I went ahead. Took me about 2 minutes total of alternating between plugging in and out, and pushing the on/off button of my extension cord. Couldn’t believe my eyes when the orange light came on. It had been in storage for 1.5 years.

You’re a hero man works 💯

I promise this worked for me (I thought it was a conspiracy!) I changed to power source rather than laptop and it took about 4mins. Thank you to the person that shared this.

I thought these comments were fake but it worked for me too! What a miracle. Thanks for sharing.. you just saved me $500!

Thanks so much for sharing this info… It works for both

Works 100%. Now i have two charging elvies and this video saved me time and money. You are awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience. I wish you the best in your life. Have a nice day!

This works ! Thank you

Didn’t work for me after 30min of trying.

You’re a hero! Thank you for sharing this!

Worked for me, lifesaver

Amazing. Worked for me but took about 20 minutes. Don’t give up!

After taking in and out of the port repeatedly (maybe 50 times), start to give it an extra second when it is plugged in each time and see if the amber light turns on when you give it a second.

This is so crazy... this actually works! Wishing the best karma on the person who posted this video, you just saved me hundreds by not buying a new machine when I was ready to give up after trying everything else.

This does work! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this video to help us all out. It’s a life saver. Very grateful!

It worked for me too!! Thank you for this very helpful video!!

Worked after about 3 minutes of trying!!

worked! thanks

I’m literally crying!!! I have just seen the amber light! 15 mins of trying! Thank you!!! 🙌🏻

Didn’t believe this would actually work but it did! Thank you

Quite interesting! Mine also worked! I had to try switching cables too. My Elvies are 3 years old and I'm suspecting that cables also don't last too long, it's worth checking and replacing if needed.

…but why does it work?

Wow. I’m baffled!!! It freekin worked!!! Plugged it into a power switch and doing this for 5 minutes it turned orange!!! Just WOW!!! Thank you so much!!

i can't believe it, it has worked! I was about to give up after 6 minutes and then got the orange light. I haven't used it for about 16 months. Thank you so much for paying this forward!

Mine does show the green light but when I try to turn in on after taking off the usb port, NOTHING. It doesn’t work

Never comment on videos but TJIS SAVED ME 600 GBP so I cannot even begin to tell you THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS 🔥🔥🔥

That worked 🎉

It works! Took about nine minutes, what a lifesaver - thank you!

Worked for me!!! I can’t believe it!!!

I can’t believe this worked! A friend gave it to me and it just wouldn’t charge. I tried this first night and must’ve plugged in and out and played with switch back and forth with no luck. I left it overnight with plug in to see if there’s a miracle… nothing. Just when I was about to throw it away, I decided to do the cord plugging in and out 10-15 seconds and the first pump finally had a orange light! With newfound hope, I did the same with the second and after maybe 10-20 more in and out, the orange light came on for the second as well! I’ve used it 3 times already today and so far so good! Thank you!!

I felt like a child when they get frustrated and just plugging/ unplugging real fast to see if that’ll fix the issue.. but man, if it works it works 🤷‍♀️ pleasantly surprised lol

Thank you so much!!!!! This worked!!!

Got one running after an hour or so. Second one is still a no go after about 2 hours. Guess I'll keep flipping that switch on the power strip with my toe while gaming for the next couple hours lol

I just had to come on here and comment because of Elvie's exceptional customer service! If your Elvie is not working, contact customer service and they are so helpful. My Elvie stride stopped charging. I came on here to find a way to fix it, but I was unable to do so. So I contacted the company and they are sending me a new one. Their customer service was seamless and responded via email. I am so grateful to them. I didn't even buy it directly from Elvie. If you have an issue, contact them.

Just finished charging and updated my app on my phone. It works guys! Fully charged

Omg it worked. I did it for 30mins. First I plug the usb wire into my desktop for 15mins and keep doing it then I switch it to the wall plug of my iPhone charger and now both is charging. After 2 years I left in storage. I really hope it charges all the way. Keep doing it omg I can’t believe it works. Thank you I’m so happy 😊

Quick disclaimer: im no engineer so please dont do this if you arent confident in what you do. Lithium batteries from experience tend not to accept a charge if theyre depleted below a certain level. if you open it up and look at the battery, there's three wires, from experience the yellow wire on the battery is a "control wire" which tells the battery to stop (and start) charging through the board the batteries connected to. If you disconnect that wire from the battery connector, but DO NOT cut it (there's a little push pin to remove wires from connector) you can charge the battery for half hour or so to get enough charge in the battery that the board will register that the battery needs to charge. Make sure you put the wire back in before charging as normal and don't leave the unit unattended just in case anything bad happens. Don't leave the wire out though as the board won't tell the charger or battery to stop taking a charge. If you leave the wire out and overcharge the battery. It could break the unit or potentially explode the batter(or at least make it hot enough to expand and be dangerous)

Husband is an engineer. He didn’t believe this would work but I refused to throw the pump away without trying. Havent used it for 19mths. It was dead and no charge light. Tried charging for 3hrs. Nothing….. tried this for 4 mins and AMAZED it worked! Husband still baffled but it is currently lit up orange and charging so Im happy! Thanks so much. Annoying ELVIE dont recognise this as an issue. When i used the pump for feeding daughter last year I noticed it never held charge long and basically has to be charged every time and if left between charges even for half a day it needs re-charging even when not used. Great tip anyway - thanks!

Thank you much! Got both my pumps working after 20 minutes or so! After a very frustrating conversation with Elvie support (I’m 4 months outside of my warranty so they offered me 20% off of a new one?! Um, no way!) I was devastated. Very skeptical when I watched this video but I’m so happy I tried it. Beyond happy to have my pump back, but I’m disappointed that this issue happens to so many people and the company isn’t offering a solution-this is such an expensive product!

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing. Does anyone's yellow light sometimes turn off again? Do I just repeat the process?

I was at the end of my patience after 5 minutes with no avail. Got pissed off and left it on charge. 1 min later looked at it and it's charging?!!! Cannot believe it. If your impatience AF like me just persist you won't regret it! Thank you for this tip just saved me a fortune!

I had not faith in this working, but it did!
