    Connecting charger cable causes Sony WH-10000MX2 bluetooth headphones to stop working

    Hi,

    I have a pair of WH-10000MX2 bluetooth headphones with a strange problem. Connecting the charging cable causes the headphones to no longer turn on when pressing the power button.

    I thought I had 'fixed' this when I took them apart and disconnected the battery for 15 minutes and found as soon as you disconnect the battery they can be powered on and off as normal using the power button. But then the moment you connect a charging or data cable to a charger or laptop USB port, the power button stops working and the can't be turned on again. No response.

    The first time this happened the charging light would go out after a few seconds, which suggests it was a battery problem according to the user manual, but now it stays lit and it turns out the battery fully recharges. It just doesn't want to turn on again afterwards.

    Any ideas? I thought I'd ask here before buying a battery in case there was something I could try.

    Just to clarify, it's not only that it is not working when the cable is attached. Once the cable has been connected the device no longer turns on, even after the cable is removed. It will then only turn on again correctly once the battery has been disconnected then reconnected.

      ISL88739AHRZ ISL88739 Laptop Battery Charger Datasheet
      by Document Archive
      The ISL88739 & ISL88739AHRZ are a highly versatile combo battery charger
      configurable for operating as either a Hybrid Power Boost (HPB)
      charger or a Narrow VDC (NVDC) charger, supporting 2-, 3-, or
      4-cell batteries. Both configurations allow the battery to work with
      the adapter together to supply the system load when it exceeds
      the adapter capability, referred to as system Turbo mode. HPB
      charger configuration reverse-boosts battery energy to the system
      bus to help the adapter provide the system power in Turbo mode.

      how to prevent a connected charger from draining battery when not charging?
      by flat-earther
      I have an RC radio handset(Taranis QX7) which doesn't have internal battery charger which means I had to remove the battery every time I needed to charge it.
      So to improve it, I added a 15W USB-C charger board(link) inside and soldered it to the same connector on the PCB where the battery plugs into, great, now I can simply charge it with a USB-C cable.

      but the problem I found is that after the radio sat for two weeks without being used the 2S 18650 battery that I'm using was at 4.2V!
      So the battery is backfeeding the charger and being drained.

      How can I prevent...

      ASUS X54H laptop thinks it's always charging even with charger unplugged
      by flat-earther
      The charging indicator light on my ASUS X54H laptop is always on even when the charger is disconnected.

      Windows also shows ''Plugged in'' when charger is not connected.

      This problem started year ago gradually, when unplugging the charger the charging light took several seconds to disappear, then minutes, and now almost always on even when unplugged for an entire day.
      Strangely, before sometimes immediately when plugging in the charger the charging light went away, and later came back with it connected.
      If I let battery run out and say it has 3% Windows will...

      RCA WHP141 wireless headphones wired up
      by momaka
      OK, this one dates back to 2015! I thought I had posted this, but realized I didn’t when I posted a picture of something else. So here it goes…

      Back in 2015, I bought a pair of RCA WHP141 wireless headphones at Micro Center for $2. I even mentioned it in the best cheap/free scores thread right here. Just forgot to follow up with that.

      As mentioned back then, these are (were) 900 MHz FM wireless headphones. No modern day Blutooth or anything like that. I knew they wouldn’t be great headphones or even that good… but the price was right! So let’s take...

      Dell Inspiron 7567 LA-D993P odd charger issue
      by Johndill
      Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 7567 LA-D993P that I've just got running.
      There was corrosion around PU1503 which shorted PC1518 & blew PL1504. (Reference pictures attached)
      I've replaced PC1518 & PL1504 & the laptop is now running however I now have another issue.

      Here are the tested scenarios:

      1. With the laptop running on battery, I plug in the 150W charger & the charger shuts off (no LED, protection mode) but the laptop remains running on battery.

      2. With the laptop off, plug in charger (LED says on) & the front charging...
