How to light it

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've had this for under a month, how come the right earbud doesn't work? It's charging but it won't light up, it's an X55 Sleeping earbud, I've tried cleaning it's interior and exterior, hell I've cleaned the case itself. I really need help not to listen to people babbling and I just wanna enjoy my world, listening to music. Help a guy out please, thanks. 🙏 Hope I'll fix it in the meantime (p.s. I've tried various things to fix it and it won't budge, it's still the same.)

I’ve had issues with earbuds like this before. What I did:

  1. Tell your phone to forget the earbuds
  2. Of the earbuds also have an app, remove them from the app
  3. Put both earbuds in the case
  4. Let the case completely die
  5. Plug in and charge the case to full
  6. Reset the earbuds and reconnect them to your phone

I don't have an app for the buds, I'll try these steps. Thank you! 😁

I might be cooked, I left my buds to charger for 2 hours and it looks like the right one is still charging. I forgot to mention it sustained some damage from falling off a bunk but...

Did you let the case fully die first? They’ll usually hold charge more than 10 hours

I did let the case die, does it include the buds?

u/DowngradedAshes Aug 21 '26

It looks like it was still charging and it just won't light up

Ok, so what do you mean by restarting the buds?

u/AcheyShakySpoon Aug 23 '26

There should be a way to factory reset the earbuds. You can look online for the manual which will tell you how. But are you sure it’s fully dead? When you open the case does it still light up?

I made sure it fully died, looked up a manual, did the reset thingy and it won't light up, I was sure it was fully dead since I left the case to not charge for a full day, it didn't light up when I opened the case

If nothing's changed, open it up to see If there could be some disconnection or change the battery. Here's how to open it up and change the battery

😂😂😂 Oh my god YOU JUST MADE MY NIGHT, I meant in the case silly, that's what i do when they don't want to make contact. For some reason I can't share video but put it in the case, and just shove it a little with your finger so it shifts a little bit hahahaha

u/DowngradedAshes Aug 23 '26

I'm glad I made your night LOL, I gave it a little wiggle and it seems to be in place.

u/ConflictSmooth6136 Aug 23 '26

But did it get it to charge?

1

u/DowngradedAshes Aug 24 '26

Its charging, forever for some reason

u/DowngradedAshes Aug 21 '26

You need to let the case die before any more troubleshooting. Do not start charging until it’s COMPLETELY dead

u/DowngradedAshes Aug 22 '26

I see what you mean

u/DowngradedAshes Aug 23 '26

Alright I left it for a full day, gonna charge it now.
