JBL Charge 3 won't charge - replaced battery + charging board
Hey everyone,
I have a 2016 model Charge 3 that I have replaced the battery on once before successfully. A few months back the micro USB port broke (pins bent). So I decided to replace the charging daughterboard and put in a new battery.
Unfortunately, even with the replaced charging board - the JBL Charge 3 does not want to charge the battery. It draws around 0.25 A constantly when the micro USB port is connected, the charging light blinks for a few times then goes back to constantly on. I've tried two different batteries, same issue.
Even with the previous charging board directly connecting the + and - to the USB pads on the board, I get the same issue. It just draws 0.25 A constantly (even if disconnecting the battery while it's connected).
Anyone ever face this problem and know if it's fixable?
If not - I'll just leave out the charging board and create a jack to link to the battery directly lol.
Thanks in advance!
Is this a good question?
