S9 plug in red light goes out 30 seconds

Mine is doing the exact same thing. Does anyone know what the problem is? If so, what is the fix.

Try to press the power botton in the same time you plug the charger, after this action mine is working and charging perfectly, maybe this is the "reset" solution... Hope this helps you.

Ok...don't panic. The charger you are using is not compatible. Verizon only works with verizon blackberry's. Non verizon will not work with blackberry and vice versa. This is what will happen. you plug it in and it will boot for a few seconds and then the lightning bolt you see is the charge icon and then a red line in it means that charger is not compatable. Blackberry does make its own charger but there is a "pin" on the plug in that will tell it it is not the right one. Am I confusing you?

try plugging in the charger to the headset, unplug the charger from the AC. If the light goes out see if the headset will connect.

Worked for me this way

The Headphones suffered a short, likely when you were plugging them in or off the charger. The easiest fix is to connect the headphones to your charger cable and then flicker the power...

so if you plug them into a usb charger cable to your pc, then quickly disconnect and reconnect the cable from your pc's usb port... this might not work due to the slowness of recognising the drivers.

if you have a wall charger for this unit, connect it up and then unplug it and replug it @ the wall multiple times. Or use a switched outlet/power strip to cycle the power to the charger quickly...

Worked perfectly for me!

I had the same problem but instead of a red light it would flash green twice and stay off. I could not find the original charger and another plug in charger would not work. I plugged it into my computer with a usb cable and after several seconds it started charging.

If you guys haven't found a solution, you might want to try this out. Have your S9 charger hooked up to the unit and plug the charger into a surge protector. Flick the main switch of the surge protector on and off a few times and it should turn off the unit. Then turn on and pair if need to and it should be fine. Hope that works for ya!

This might work if you aren't using the ORIGINAL charger. I had this problem when my cat chewed through the original Motorola charger. I figured my Blackberry charger would work fine, but it didn't. I then discovered that my Blackberry charger was 700mAH and the broken charger was only 550mAH. When I found another charger with the proper power it charged. I also found that it worked when plugging it into my computer with a standard mini USB. I hope this helps.

I just hooked it up with a usb sync cable to my computer. It was installed and ready to use and the charging light came on. Seems like it is charging as the led went from red to yellow, and it does turn on now. However, it still does not work with the usb cable plugged into a wall charger. If this solution works for others having the same issue kindly post your results.
