JBL wave flex issue

[fozzie52]

Hello,

I've been having an issue with my JBL Wave Flex wireless earbuds. When i put them back in the case they didn't turn off, and so would run the battery flat. Sometimes when i remove them from the case they wouldn't wake up either and id have to plug it in for a few seconds and mess around a bit to get them to come on.

I thought id take it apart and see if it wants a new battery. The battery seems fine, but what I have noticed is with the USB C adapter unplugged the device performs flawlessly, and as soon as I plug it back in its back to it's old tricks. The USB adapter seems like the issue. Is there anything I can do with it now? I can't seem to find a replacement online.

Thanks,
Ben.

Its a JBL wave flex - they're bluetooth earphones
the USB adapter is to charge the device

Hey there

Have you tried cleaning the charger with ISOpropyl and cotton bud? Clean the contact on both the case and the buds. Once dry (after just a couple of minutes), then test again.
