I'm not able to switch on my headset and also i dont see any LED lighting up while charinging. What could be the problem? Pls help
Here is what you do, first get yor headset, hold it up in the air, then grad a hammer and smash it, that should do it.... Hope this was helpful

Hello all...
I had this exact same problem, and had a couple hours on my hands to kill, so I opened up my headset. ***PLEASE NOTE - This WILL void your warranty*** Once the headset was open, I took a quick look around, and noticed that one of the leads that attach the rechargable battery to the little circuit board was not connected. Being somewhat handy, I was able to use my soldering iron to re-attach the lead from the battery to the PCB. I plugged the unit into the charger to verify, then carefully put everything back together. A little dab of superglue in the joint above the volume controls, and my headset now works great! Be careful when putting the unit back together, as the first time I re-assembled it, the lead came off, and I had to take it all apart and re-solder it. The circuit board will move out of the way slightly (pulls away from the case) in order to give a better angle to solder the lead. It does not fully detach though, so be careful. In total, it took about 30 minutes of my time, which is way cheaper than a new headset =)

I opened mine using a knife under the blue part, you CAREFULLY pry the blue off with it's adhesive, then you are left with two T6 torx screws, you remove those and careful not to lose the volume buttons. Then the main circuit board is all one piece and comes out easily.
Cheers.

I had a very similar problem. Your headset is most likely defective. Call Jabra at Jabra.com and they'll replace it for you if you still have the receipt where you bought it from.

I have the same issue.
I plugged it in to charge and the red light came on. After some hours, I looked and the light was off. Now there's no way to either charge it or turn it on.
This is the same problem I'm having. I plug it in and the LED flashes red then green then off completely. It won't turn on and it doesn't appear to be charging.
worked great one day, now no lights and won't turn on.
I'm in the same boat. Just got the headset and don't know if it's charging or not. No LED indication whatsoever. I've tried difference wall sockets, the PC. Nothing.
Was having the same problem with 24hr old Jabra BT500
I clicked the small button near the mic and low and behold it works again
;-)
Try it. it may work for you
This is the 2nd BT500 bluetooth that I have had that all of a sudden, inexpliciably, will not turn on even after lengthy charging. No light will come on when hooked up to charge.
Apparently the saga continues. Have same experience as others have posted. Plug it in, LED quickly flashes from red to green, then off completely. After more than 4 hours of charging, no signs of a charged battery (LED not lit), and none of the switches seem to activate it. Compared the connection carefully with the manual diagram to ensure it's connected in the right direction, so I've ruled out that as the cause. No further clue as to what's wrong or how to correct it.
Same problem! Paid up for this one and still use my cheap H500 by Motorola simply because it works.
Same. LED red to green to black.
I found info elsewhere that if you plug the ac adapter in wrong to headset it will fry the battery. The adapter is not very fool-proof.
Same problem here. Â Piece of ****.
i hav a bt 135
weneva i try 2 charge it , the blue charging lite appears for 20 sec and goes off ......
can any1 tell me whats wrong with the handset and what shud i do

Same problem! Flashes from red to greenand then "poof" nothing! I paid up for this model and I still go back to my Motorola H500 which I'm not thrilled with it's looseness onn my ear, hence the reason I bought this one. Now it's garbage!
i have same issue , when i put on charge blue light came but in 4 second slowely disappear
