Read on to discover some of the most common causes of this problem and how to troubleshoot them.

Why Is My JLAB Left Earbud Not Charging?

Sometimes, your JLAB left earbud may suddenly stop charging and you wonder what on earth is going on. There are a few potential reasons for this, and I’m going to list some of the most common ones below:

• You have a faulty charging cable

Perhaps your charging cable has a broken connection or is faulty in some way. If this is the problem, you can usually fix it by replacing the cable.

• Your earbuds are not properly seated in the charging case

If your earbuds are not properly seated in the charging case, they may not be able to charge. Make sure that they are fully inserted into the case and that the charging contacts are touching correctly.

• A compromised charging case

This is another common issue – the charging case may not be able to hold a charge anymore, which will prevent your earbuds from charging. If this is the problem, you will need to replace the charging case.

• There is dirt buildup in the charging case or the earbud

Dirt and dust can build up over time and can cause charging problems. If this is the issue, try cleaning the charging case and/or the earbud with a slightly damp cloth.

• Outdated firmware

You may also experience charging problems if your earbuds have outdated firmware. In this case, you will need to update the firmware of your earbuds.

Other common reasons include a faulty battery, a defective charging port, or a problem with the circuitry.

How to Troubleshoot JLAB Left Earbud Charging Problems

Now that you know some of the most common reasons your JLAB left earbud is not charging, it’s time to troubleshoot the problem. Here are some steps you can take to try and fix the issue:

Check the charging cable

The first thing you should do is check the charging cable. Make sure that it is properly plugged into both the earbuds and the charging case, and that there are no broken connections.

If it appears to be faulty, you can try replacing it.

Check the earbuds

Next, check the earbuds themselves. Make sure that they are properly seated in the charging case and that the contacts are touching correctly.

If there is any dirt or dust buildup, try cleaning them with a slightly damp cloth.

Check the charging case

If you have ruled out problems with the earbuds and the charging cable, the next step is to check the charging case.

Make sure that it is properly plugged in and that it is holding a charge. If it does not appear to be holding a charge, you may need to replace the charging case.

Update the firmware

If all of the previous steps have been unsuccessful, your final option is to update the firmware of your earbuds. This can be done using the JLAB Updater app.

Clean everything

It is possible that there is dirt or dust buildup causing the charging problems. Try cleaning the charging case and the earbud with a slightly damp cloth to see if that fixes the issue.
