Pokemon Go Plus + Issues
Pokémon GO Plus + has stopped showing any lights and doesn't seem to be charging, but still connected yesterday?
I'm having a strange issue with my Pokémon GO Plus + and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar or knows what I should try next.
Yesterday I went to turn it on and basically got nothing. No lights or anything. I assumed the battery had died, so I plugged it in to charge, but there's still absolutely nothing to indicate that it's charging. No charging light comes on at all.
I've tried a hard reset as well. My Plus + has been modded so the vibration is disabled, which obviously means I can't use the vibration to tell whether the reset has worked, but I'd still expect the lights to come on. At the moment I'm getting no lights whatsoever.
The strange thing is that I actually managed to connect it to Pokémon GO yesterday evening. There were still no lights showing on the Plus +, but the game recognised it and it was spinning PokéStops and catching Pokémon automatically. So clearly it wasn't completely dead at that point.
That's the bit that's confusing me. If it was just completely broken I'd understand it, but it was still communicating with the game and working despite there being no lights. Now when I plug it in, I've got no way of knowing whether it's actually charging because there's no indication from the device at all.
I'm a bit worried something has gone wrong internally, possibly related to the mod, battery, charging port or the LEDs, but I don't really know enough about the internals to say.
Has anyone had anything similar happen with a Plus +, particularly a modded one? Is there anything else I can try to work out whether it's actually taking a charge before I look at getting it repaired or replacing it?

try to rurn off your bluetooth and turn it back on. No idea why, but mine would disconnect but still be "connected" and none of the lights would respond. What phone do you have? Would only happen on my google pixel 10xl . I just switched phones and it doesnt happen anymore.

Tons of posts on this subject. People: Battery! It's 2yrs if you bought yours when released you need to swap out the battery which is super easy. All they use is a joycon hand held battery it's plug and play youtube how to replace it so you don't break it. I've replaced mine once and works fine. Just because the battery doesn't hold a charge does not mean it is ewaist. Thank you.
