    Great video. Followed all the different steps, then finally replaced the battery and still not charging. I got the double blinking red at first and took the battery out again. Now getting no red light at all. A lot of problems with these very expensive headphones!

    I lost one of the 4 silver screws, but found it in the carpet, barely, by turning off all the lights and angling a flashlight beam.

    Thanks, removing the battery worked for me. I had bought a new Sony MX4 online and it stopped charging 3 months later. Sony SG wouldn't repair it under warranty as I didn't buy it in SG so had to pay $275 to repair it. It then broke again 6 months later and this TH-cam fixed it. Thanks again. I dont think I will buy Sony again.

    Your video did wonders. Thank you so much ! I am autistic and these are my life. I already had to change them 3 times because of audio quality issues using the full 3 years warranty I bought with them. Still it cost me 50 euros each time.

      OMG :’)
      literally me fucking too i’m so happy you were able to fix them!
      mine haven’t worked properly for months now and i basically have to jumpstart them😭 (just realized i most likely have to replace the battery if i’m literally jumpstarting it every.single.time.🤦🏻‍♀️), I’ve been extremely deterred from going out , transiting, going on walks, practically most outside activities, and coupled with how un-fun house duties are now that i can’t be immersed in music and be in my own little bubble life fucking blows,
      i want my peace back lol

    My WXM5s stopped charging and I couldn't find any tutorials for that model. However, they are similar enough that I was able to use this video to troubleshoot the 5s. The linked ebay store has parts for the 5s as well and I was able to replace both the battery and charging motherboard on my own once this video taught me how to take them apart without hurting anything. Thank you for the video! It was a real life saver!

    Thanks for this clear and concise video , I’m happy to see some folks got there’s up and running again, I’m at my 2nd battery change and it looked like it was charging, 60% at first , down to 10% after a day, now red led goes dark every 7 seconds or so. I did change the right side board as well as I had noticed a crack. Hoping you’ll have a cure for this!

    @denniswiden8909 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Wow great video. Very different compared to other where they rush it and sometimes forget to mention a step, but in yours it's calm, slow and very detailed 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Question, can you use a flat screwdriver instead of a prying tool? And is it ok to use a pair of tweezers when reconnecting the cables?

    • @zaqueattaq
      @zaqueattaq ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I just used a flat screw instead of a prying tool, i broke one clip but i think it should be fine and i wouldn't worry. Just be very slow with it. My headphones aren't working so i think i need a new battery

    in case of charging problem, try turning the headphones on before plugging in the charger.
    If the battery is totally dead, plug in the charger while holding the power button.
    These have always worked for me, I'm not certain if they would work for everyone.

    i bought mine XM4 a month ago. Recently, with a few ambient sound optimization, i feel like the intensity of ANC has reduced. reduced to the point that i can hear people talking, clock ticking, neighbors barking. Is this normal? Is there any fix to this? Will the reset to the headphone fix the issue? I would love for you to reply on this matter.

  • @catherinestralovich5571

  • @niyo77
    @niyo77 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What worked for me. Follow his instructions but after disconnecting the battery do this next step. Hold down the power button for 10 seconds to discharge any residual power in any capacitors. Then reassemble and charge. It worked for me. I did his step but it didn’t work, then I remembered this trick about discharging capacitors by holding the power button down on electronic devices to erase any stored memory. Try it out it might work. Good luck!

    Thanks Jon, unfortunately this hasn't fixed my issue, after replacing both the battery and the USB module I still can't get the headphones to charge. The headphones worked for about 10 minutes when the new battery had live in it, so I managed to go through the reset sequence but still no charge light. I am assuming that the problem lies within the main circuit board? Thanks in advance.

    I just did a full battery replacement and it's still not holding a charge. Still says low battery, about 10%. The red light stayed on for a good hour charging after I installed the replacement but it's still the low battery nonsense. At least I can still plug them into my laptop and wear around my place with the noise cancelling... assuming it at least charges back to 10%.
    Thanks for your video all the same... could I replace the charging port?
