beatsx: Can't turn on Beats X

Thu, 08 Sep 2022 23:08:54 -0700

I've spent the last 3 hours trying different ways of fixing my Beats X and none of them have worked. I've tried resetting them, updating them with the Beats Updater, charging them for an hour straight, etc. and they just won't turn on. When I plug them in a white light appears on the power button but as soon as I unplug them it turns off and they don't turn on. Please help if you can

beatsx: BeatsX pink light forever! please help me!

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 13:52:34 -0700

I was using my BeatsX like I do for a normal day … but all the sudden it stopped playing the music.

I thought it might be because of my phone, yet I check the phone it keeps working fine except the headset itself keep showing some sort of pink light (like forever).

However, when I plugged in the charger it keeps charging with red and white blink then turn pink again :/

I’m done with this crap!

beatsx: Beats^x won’t turn on andno light either. Easy fix or use my warranty?

I charged my headphones all last night I tried to turn them on later in the day and they didn’t even have a light, red or white, come on. There’s no visible damage to them and I’ve only had them for a little over 4 months. Can I do something or do I need to use my one year warranty?

I lost the tiny screen that is inside the earbud protecting the speaker. I looked everywhere and can't find replacements. Is this an issue? Where could I find some?

beatsx: My dog ate my earbud off

Sun, 08 Sep 2019 23:21:49 -0700

New puppy ate the right bud off my black BeatsX. Obviously devastated, but she's too cute to even yet at her. Ugh.

I still have the pieces (entire headpiece, plus right ear bud) and two wires are protruding from each side. Any hope of soldering the wires together and putting the bud back on? (Amazon support is worthless…they knew what had happened, made me mail it to them, and then told me only malfunctions or manufacturer issues are covered. Why even have me send them back?! And what's the point of a warranty?! Such a pain.) They said the cost of repair would exceed the price of replacement.

Any hope of salvaging these babies? I hate to just throw them away. Oy.

beatsx: Beats x: Is upgrading to a 300mAh higher capacity battery a good idea?

Sun, 10 Sep 2023 11:20:58 -0700

My Beats x are a few years old now and the battery no longer lasts more than an hour so I was looking to replace it with a new one. I spotted a seller online advertising a 300mAh battery. I believe the original is ~50mAh. It’s only a few bucks more to buy but I don’t see any reviews online of anyone doing it so I’m concerned that there might be a reason I shouldn’t.

Does anyone have any thoughts on if it’s worth doing?

beatsx: BeatsX Wiring Diagram on main board

Thu, 26 Nov 2020 20:10:01 -0700

I have a BeatsX that is broken, and it’s not viable for me to fix it, so I decided to try to recycle it, making a wired one from the old speakers and control talk. Those are still fully functional. So in order to do this, I need a wiring diagram or at least the wiring color code for the Left speaker connector (the one with the control talk board), because I have no idea what wire should be connected to what. I’ll try to send an image for better visualization.

Update: I discover that the pink (first wire from bottom to top) is equivalent to the L+ on 3.5 mm jack standard, and the green (last wire from bottom to top) is the equivalent ground. But I still have no idea about the other wires. I tried the folowing:

Black on Ground
Red on M+ (microphone)
Blue on L+
But it didn’t work. I’m not able to discover what wire is what with a multimeter because I’m afraid I’ll break the control talk board if I do so. I tried this based on recommended YouTube videos. Here it goes another image (maybe better than the last one) for better understanding:

beatsx: Charging Port Fell out

Mon, 19 Oct 2020 09:03:04 -0700

Is there a way I can replace the charging port of my beatsx? It looks like it fell out or something and now my headphones won’t charge

It’s kind of hard to see, but it looks like the port is missing. The headphones still turn on because they have some battery life left, but the light doesn’t turn on when I plug them in to charge so something is definitely messed up.
