Jabra BT350 Bluetooth Headset Headset - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
How do I replace battery?
I had the same problem... the battery is part # 501235 and is 3.7v 150 mah (yes, it's tiny). Searching for this on the web yields such a part at various places but not any retail options that I could find.
I took it apart per the instructions at instructables.com (above) and then jump-started the battery using a maglight penlight. Sometimes rechargeable batteries get "stuck" on empty when they drain down to absolute zero and have trouble accepting any charge... To jumpstart it, do this:
Get a Maglight AAA or AA penlight (2 cell) and unscrew the end as if you were going to replace the light bulb. The bare bulb must be on when the reflector is removed (or, perhaps the batteries are dead).
Remove the bulb.
Obtain two short (1") pieces of bare 22-26AWG wire and insert them into the holes where the bulb wires were previously inserted.
Using a multimeter, determine which wire is positive and which is negative
Align the + terminal of the rechargeable battery in the Jabra with the positive wire identified on the flashlight - do the same with the negative terminal. Hold the flashlight on the battery for a minute or so to allow some of the current from the light to slightly charge the jabra battery.
Before putting the Jabra back together, try the AC or USB power cord - you should now get a solid red light if it is charging.
If not, try to "jump" it again for another minute or two or three.
If this doesn't work, the battery is probably totally shot - maybe you'll have better luck finding a replacement than I did.
The Maglight isn't necessary, but it is a simple way to obtain the 3.0v DC power source. You could use a similar power source to obtain the same effect (probably 2.7-3.7v DC is best).

Cant get it turn on
It likely that rechargable battery is not taking a charge any further or the contacts point of plug are damaged. Sorry to say "it's dead, Jim."

Setting up Jabra VBT2050 Bluetooth
I took my husband's suggestion and used 0000 and it worked. My husband claims it is the factory default for all bluetooth headsets. Try it and let us know if it works.

I'm lost password for jabrabt125
The generic PIN (Which is what I'm guessing you need) for most bluetooth devices is either 0000, or 1234. Please try those and see if that solves your problem.

Wont charge at all
Take the unit apart by heating the colored backing surrounding the on off button with a hair dryer ( this helps loosen the glue). The remove the two screws holding the two halves together. They are tors, but you can file down an eyeglass screwdriver as I did to get them out. Then carefully separate the two halves and find the battery ( big and silver). See the positive and negative markings on the battery? Take a common D cell battery ( I have even done it with AA) and jump your Jabra battery with the D cell being careful to keep the terminals in correct order. It may take two or three times of doing this to get the really stubborn ones to kick in. The jump only takes two or three seconds. Then disconnect the D battery and try to plug your charger in. It should now work fine. If not then give it another jump. Now reassemble your unit in the reverse order and remember to keep charging it every once and a while, or it will happen again. Hope this helps......Taco

I haven't used my Jabra
well keeping it for long could be the problem here. batteries go extremely down and not even that charger would start it up to a level where it will begin normal charging no matter how long you leave it on charger. The only solution is having some kind of tech dismantle it access the rechargeable battery inside, boost its voltage or jump start it by directly connecting voltage on its terminals for about a minute then put it back. all should work then.
