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. 😅
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.
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
@@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.
@@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.
Got some Skullcandy earbuds for Christmas and the left didnt even last a month and stopped charging. Came across this video and tried just a toothbrush and rubbing alcohol and it did the trick. 👍👍👍👍
You sir are the man. Had 2 monster 112 airlinks that weren’t charging on 2 different cases so they weren’t working was ready to throw them out Did your thing and they now both work. Thanks a lot. Cheers 🍻
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!
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.
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).
اشكرك الصراحة، صار لي سنة وانا احاول اشحن السماعات اللي عندي ولكن بعد ما شفت طريقتك في التنظيف، طبقت الطريقة باستخدام كلينكس فقط ومشى الموضوع، اعتقد ان الشمع اللي موجود في الاذن يعمل طبقة عازلة تمنع الشحن وبمجرد تنظيف السماعات وازالة طبقة الشمع ترجع تشحن بشكل طبيعي، اشكرك يالمنقذ !
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
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.
Thank you for this!!! It worked with my Haylou T15. I wasn't able to use it for a month because I don't know any solution but your idea worked! Thank you very much! 😁👏🏼
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!
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 😎
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
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.
I just bought a pair of skull candy jib true 2 series wireless earbuds and only the right side work the left side won’t charge and it cut on for a few min in the case should I return it or will this top work for these pairs I don’t want to ruin the chance of returning them back to Walmart. I need advice.😅
Thanks mate 👍 It worked out! I thought my right earbuds battery or some internal part has damaged. Anyways my earbud is now charging normally! Alhamdulillah
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.
Hi I have a pair of ilive truely wire free Bluetooth earbuds. They worked. Charged in the charger case I go too charger them after a couple months of not using them and my case wont charge anymore, wont even turn om when I press the power button. Do I need a whole new set or can something be done too salvage this pair. . Please let me know thank you.
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.
what if you dont have sandpaper or cotten swab my right earbud will light up for 7 seconds when in case then light goes off if i take the earbud out of case no light will come on at all please help
Assalam o Alikum. I bought Air 31 AirPods. The problem is that one side of the pod is working while the other isn’t and also it shows 2 names on Bluetooth like they both do not connect to Bluetooth at same time
Omg this actually works your a life saver for my money I’m glad I did this before I bought new ones, but thankfully I didn’t have too because of you. Thank you so much for making this video very useful.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
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 ❤
Thanks just saw your video and decided to clean the bud that wasn't working with just a toothbrush and earbud. Didn't want to use sand. Paper because of fear of damaging my pods. Well it worked wonder and my bud is charging as we speak. Much thanks.
Thank you very much kind sir ! I brought my earbuds half a dozen time from the brink of death and i thought this time was the one . Figure'd id check if someone had sandpaper'd em . I did the trick when nothing else did . Also if anyone reads this it took me a few tries of sanding / cleaning to the point where i thought if im gonna throw them away might aswell shave off what seemed like too much and it finally started charging .
Well how do you fix when you download the wearable app then says your galaxy buds2 is not supported on your device? Pls i really need a solution for this problem
I think one of the gold things on the ear buds on mine is somewhat out compared to the other that is in, can you do a tutorial on this cuz only the left side charges
My left side earbud got chewed up by my dog because i was careless. For a week it still worked but after that it stopped like it no longer charges. Would cleaning it make it work again?
Thanks man I had earbuds that were really old and I thought age is what made it no longer function well this really helped and they charge as brand new
Ok i just tried these on my utaxo ut-bh002 headphones and it worked for a second but stopped working, i continued this method but still didn't work, did i mess up

@@i7vSa7vi7y bruh
@@Ryu-qk1kx They replaced them. Left one went out on new pair for no reason. Left it in case and charged case fully and it worked the next day.
I just tried this and it worked😭ive had these not working for 4 months now
Great idea but imo a clean cloth damped with a little alcohol could clean those contacts without removing metal as sandpaper will.
True that should work as well
I did that but it didn't last. It lasted afew days only. Does this method last?
@@isaachiz1395 Nothing will 'last'.

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!
Happy to hear your earbuds have been revived 🙌
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
Bros got the 1800s toothbrush
Got some Skullcandy earbuds for Christmas and the left didnt even last a month and stopped charging. Came across this video and tried just a toothbrush and rubbing alcohol and it did the trick. 👍👍👍👍
Same happened to me with Skullcandy earbuds. Trying this now, maybe this will be the fix!
Nice solution but it only works if you can actually reach in with the sandpaper
You are a good man, a gentleman, and a scholar. You just solved a MASSIVE pain I’ve had for the last two years. I cannot thank you enough.
Also found a quicker solution of drawing on the contacts on the earbuds with a graphite mechanical pencil. Works everytime for me 👍
Wait a minute. It's actually works for me too. Thanks for the tips dude 👌👌
Wow that makes perfect sense I’d never even considered that. Some genius shit right here
My dude, I’ve been using only my right earbud for more than six months until this comment! Thank you so much!!!! 💜
thank you!
how?
2023 and you still helping people out with this video. My right headphone charging again😭😭 thank you
THIS THING ACTUALLY WORKS I JUST USED SAND PAPER AND IT WORKED THANK YOU SOO MUCH 😃
holy cow dude thanks! my right earbud hasn't been able to charge for months, but then I tried this and it finally started charging!!
I know, even I had the same problem, and it really solved
AirPods users: No I’m just gonna go spend $100 on fixing them with apple
Nice tip man, that is happened to my 3SE so i just grab my toothbrush and do this thing
You sir are the man. Had 2 monster 112 airlinks that weren’t charging on 2 different cases so they weren’t working was ready to throw them out Did your thing and they now both work. Thanks a lot. Cheers 🍻
Aye! This makes me happy to hear 😊
Wise words sir! TrueShift2 still has a place in my line up!
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!
Thank you man you saved me from purchasing another pair of earplugs
This worked! I had to scrub harder than I expected to make the contacts work. My first slight scrubbing didn't work. Thanks!
Nice 😊
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.
Use a pencil eraser on the pins, not sandpaper which takes the outer coating off.
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).

Guitarist used to do this to their inputs so their guitars where crunchy and raw sounding. Wonder if this isn't doing something similar good or bad

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

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.

The connector thing for my left airpod is loose how can i fix it?

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.
I'm gonna give this a shot. no matter what happens, I'm done buying wireless devices.
Well how do you fix when you download the wearable app then says your galaxy buds2 is not supported on your device?

What grit of sandpaper is that? Help i need to know..
