Jabra BT150 headset not charging and not turning on

Hello

Your bluetooth headset is powered by an internal battery. If the battery is not charged,it just won't turn on. Fully charge your battery before use.

Make sure that the power outlet you're using is working and that the cord is fitted correctly into the wall, PC or Car outlet and the Jabra Bluetooth device.

Try unplugging the Jabra Bluetooth device and see if it turns on. If so, use the Jabra Bluetooth device until the battery is completely exhausted. The next time you charge it, check that it is charging properly

If the Jabra Bluetooth device is still not charging, check what happens when you initially plug the Bluetooth device into its charger. If the light on the Bluetooth device flashes on and then off again quickly, it is likely that the battery is no longer working. Batteries cannot be replaced or covered warranty

First Fully charge the BT150. Turn BT150 on by pressing the "answer/end button". To put the BT150 into pairing mode press the answer/end and volume+ at the same time to activate pairing mode. Next Set your mobile phone to detect a Bluetooth device. Press yes or ok to pair phone with Jabra BT150. Put in pass key 0000 (four zeros) Then press yes or ok. Your phone will confirm when pairing is complete. Enjoy your earbud/headset.

Use the AC adapter to charge from a power socket.
The charging socket is located at the top of the headset (the wider end). When the LED is solid blue, your headset is charging. When the solid blue LED turns off, it is fully charged.

The first dude is an idiot! The battery is toast go buy a headset that isn't as old as this Jabra! I also have the issue & no didn't plug it in wrong...it only goes one way! Mine sat for a few years unused & now will not charge...You can get newer headsets pretty cheap! Look around!

"When I put the charger on for the first time after purchasing and plugged it in there was just a quick blue flash but no lights came on ever."

This one is more fun. The charger that comes with the bluetooth WILL plug in 180 degrees from proper.
Symptom of reverse plug-in is usually a dull(VERY dim) blue glow and a high pitch whine. Depending on
the parts used in your production batch, one inverted plug-in could have popped something. Try rotating the plug 180 degrees, and seeing if the charging light doesn't come on(if it does, then you're good, if not, return for refund, or you're fubared)

Hi

the same in my electronics shop.. there only Three causes! 1.defective battery (replace a new one)
2.defective charging terminal (replace a new one)
3.defective Charger (replace a new one)

Thanks!!

Went to Jabra could not find the number you gave for the phone. It is compatible with Nokia phones but does not show this number. Sorry.

There's a 6162 and it is compatible.

Let me know if the number you gave is correct.

From the sounds of this.. It's all due to bad keying of the polarized charging plug. The solid red light PROBABLY means you're battery is pretty darn dead. It'll need a new battery(not worth the cost imho. get a new jabra, and be happy once again) At a certain low voltage, the red light starts blinking. when it drops below the preset threshold, it will shut off completely. If it sits too long at this discharged rate, the battry WILL self-terminate. If the voltage drops below a certain level, it's ruined. Also note, most Li-ion cells will only last a few years. 2-3 years of "full power" is usual. Mine's 2 years old(steady usage), and showing signs of it's age.


"My red light won't go off even though I charged it all night.
Also, a small piece of plastic came off the charge opening. I don't know if this is will pose a problem to the use of the Jabra BT150."

This is probably the most telling bit of information. It means you DID plug the charger in upside down. It will NEVER charge in that configuration, as it is supplying power to the completely wrong pins. If the battery was good to start with, it shouldn't hurt the headset, but never know. I have accidentily plugged it in backwards for a couple min before noticing, with no ill efect, but YMMV.

"Doesn't anyone from the Jabra manufacturer check this site?"

NO (especially not for discontinued products)

did you ever get it fixed?

Make sure the charger is in right. If you put it on wrong you will get a faint blue light, when it is in right you will get a BRIGHT BLUE LIGHT. It WILL NOT charge if it is in wrong.
