Plantronics Voyager Legend: Why can't people hear me when I make a call?

Sun, 02 Dec 2018 02:32:17 -0700

Whenever a call is connected on my device, the other person in the conversation either has difficulty hearing what I say, or my end of the conversation is full of static. I have updated the firmware, but the problem persists.

Samsung Wireless Charging Pad: How do I teardown the Samsung Wireless Charging Pad(circular)?

Sun, 19 Nov 2017 18:46:26 -0700

How do I teardown the Samsung Wireless Charging Pad(circular)? I have looked under both pieces of rubber (top and bottom) as well as under the sticker and dont see any screws. I've also tried to separate the top and bottom by prying it open, but feel like I'm going to break it.

Thanks.

Cardo Packtalk: Replacement USB connector P/N on PCB?

Tue, 13 May 2025 07:22:41 -0700

As with many other users I have a Packtalk Bold out of warranty with a bad USB connector. It works if the cable is held pressed up or down. Many have had solder failures but not this one, I need a new connector but studying images and footprints at Mouser and DigiKey has failed to ID a likely candidate.

Jabra Evolve2 65: My Headband broke, now it flexes way too much

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 08:22:23 -0700

Hello Dear People,

I think I dropped my Evolve2 Headset, since then my headband flexes at the spot where the silicone patting and the plastics of the headband merge.

I want to take it apart but I´m a bit insecure about how to do this.

Has anyone any experience?

Bluetooth Headset: Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT Not charging.

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 22:23:58 -0700

I all started last month when I forgot to use the headphone for a week. So, when I tried to power it on, it wasn’t switching on. When I tried to put it in charge, there was no indicator, but I felt slight heat on right side of the headphone. I left it for few hours, then it started working, but after 2-3 hours it abruptly shut down without any warning.

Now I again tried to charge, but there is no indicator. but I left it for few hours and then it worked. This method worked 4-5 times but there was never a charging indicator.

But now it stopped working completely. I still can feel it, but it doesn’t power on. I can use it via aux cable but unable to use it wirelessly.

My hunch is something wrong with battery. What do you think? How should I proceed?

Nexus 4 Wireless Charger: How to teardown a Nexus 4 wireless charging orb?

I am interested in turning my Nexus 4 wireless charging orb(WCP-400) into a car charger. I own a N4 charging orb and would like to transfer the "guts" into a car mount that can securely hold the phone while driving.

My problem is I have no idea how to take this thing apart. It has no visible screws or "cracks" where I can start picking at.

I would like to ask for iFixit's help in figuring out how to open this thing.

Bluetooth Headset: Where can I get a new Sennheiser VMX100 Bluetooth headset battery?

Wed, 20 Apr 2016 16:33:56 -0700

I have a Sennheiser VMX100 Bluetooth headset that went through a wash cycle in the laundry. I suspect the battery was shorted out as it will not charge now. The charging light will come on when plugged into the charging adapter but will not change from red to blue indicating the end of the charging cycle. So I would like to try replacing the battery or get the unit refurbished. Any ideas?

FLIR ONE 2nd Gen: How to get FLIR one 2G to boot, or how to repurpose lepton

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 08:21:31 -0700

After getting a red FLIR one gen2 w while back (2 years, 3, can’t remember exactly) and using it for a few months, one day the orange light went solid while charging and the unit refused to boot up (where the green light goes on). Looking on line and including here it seemed this happened when the battery went bad, Which is did regularly. So I got another battery and followed the guide here and installed a new one. It seemed to be correct and when the button was pressed the orange light would come on solid, and nothing else would happen until the battery drained and the light went out. I could charge the battery with a Lipo charger, and restart the process but the FLIR camera would never boot up. Reseting by holding the button down does nothing, with or without removing the battery. Looking around it seems that when this would happen under warranty they would just replace it, But no warranty and FLIR has washed their hands of this model. Not surprising as the FLIR business model seems to be to exploit customers into buying products that work well when they work but are often defective and FLIR’s solution to the defects is to get you to spend more money on the next generation’s equally defective product. Rinse and repeat.

I have seen some comments that this error is a flaw in the firmware that throws the camera into a loop, but it looks there is no new firmware and it seems to require being able to boot to update firmware anyway. I’ve also seen some commentary saying it is associated with bad soldering on the microprocessor connections and might be solved by reflowing it, for which I lack the equipment and skill.

From what I understand, if you ask FLIR about any of this they just invite you to spend more money on their newest FLIR one. I have to admit, that with everything I found out about FLIR’s businesses practices while trying to find out how to fix this, I doubt I would buy another camera from them even if they paid for most of it. And as someone who bought it secondhand, they won’t even acknowledge my existence anyway. It’s too expensive to buy another.

I pull it out every once in a while to try again because while it worked it was useful. I’m doing it again and decided to make requests not just see what is out there. Any ideas of what to else to try? Anyone know anyone repairing the gen2 units?

Finally, I’ve seen some DIY projects for making IR camera’s using a the FLIR lepton. There was a kit for while based on a project published in MAKEzine, but it hasn’t been made in a while. Has anyone had any experience with repurposing a lepton fron the FLIR one gen2? Did it work? How difficult and expensive was the build?
