How to fix Oontz Angle 3 Won’t Charge?
1. Perform a factory reset
If your Oontz Angle 3 speaker won’t charge, don’t worry—it’s a pretty common problem. In most cases, all you need to do is perform a factory reset.
This will delete all of the data on your speaker, so make sure to back up any files you want to keep before you proceed. Once you’ve done that, just follow the steps below and your speaker should be working like new in no time.
- Plug the USB charging cable into your computer or laptop.
- Press and hold the power button and + button for 2 seconds.
- Release the power button and wait for the speaker to restart. Once it does, try charging it again and see if that does the trick.
2. Remove Dirt present in the speaker charging port
If you’re having trouble charging your Oontz Angle 3 speaker, the problem may be dirt or debris in the charging port. Let’s show you how to clean out your charging port and get your speaker working again in no time.
What You’ll Need
To clean out your Oontz Angle 3’s charging port, you’ll need a can of compressed air and a toothpick. The compressed air will blow away any loose dirt or debris, while the toothpick will help remove anything that’s stuck in the port.
Step 1: Blow Out the Charging Port
Start by holding the can of compressed air upside down and spraying it into the charging port. Move the can around so that you blast air into all sides of the port. After a few seconds, remove the can and check to see if any dirt or debris has been blown out. If not, repeat this step until nothing else comes out.
Step 2: Use a Toothpick to Remove Debris
Once you’ve blown out as much dirt and debris as possible, it’s time to start picking at the charging port with a toothpick.
Be careful not to insert the toothpick too far into the port, as you could damage the speaker if you’re not careful.
Gently insert the toothpick into the port and wiggle it around until you feel like you’ve loosened up any debris that’s stuck in there. Then, carefully remove the toothpick and blow out the port one more time to make sure everything is clear.
Step 3: Try Charging Your Speaker Again
Once you’ve cleaned out your speaker’s charging port, try plugging it in again and see if it charges properly.
3. Replace the charger
First, check the charging cable and port for any damage. If the charging cable is damaged or the charging port is obstructed, that could be why your speaker isn’t charging. Second, try plugging the charger into a different outlet.
It’s possible that the outlet you’re using is not working properly. Third, try resetting your speaker by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds.
If none of these troubleshooting steps work, it’s likely that you will need to replace the charger. You can purchase a replacement charger from our website.
4. Replace the charging cable
If your Oontz Angle 3 is not charging properly, it may be due to a damaged or faulty charging cable.
The first step in diagnosing this issue is to check the connector at the end of your cable for any signs of damage or wear. If you notice that the connection is loose or frayed, then you will need to replace the cable.
To do so, simply purchase a replacement cable for the Oontz model that you own and follow the instructions for inserting and fastening it into place. Once it is securely connected, your speaker should start charging normally.
If your battery still does not charge properly, contact a technician for further assistance.
5. Faulty battery
To fix an Oontz Angle 3 that is not charging, you will need to first identify the cause of the issue.
One possible cause of this issue is a faulty battery, so replacing the battery may be your best option. If you do decide to replace the battery, the first step will be to power down your Oontz Angle 3 by holding down on the power button for several seconds.
Next, you will need to remove any existing screws or clips that may be securing the back panel of your device. Depending on your exact model, there may be small Phillips head screws on either side of the device.
Once these are removed, you should be able to lift up on the back panel and swap out the old battery with a new one.
Finally, test your device by plugging it in before reassembling all of the parts and powering it back up. With any luck, this should resolve your Oontz Angle 3 not charging issue and make it fully functional once again. Good luck!
6. Faulty circuit board
If your Oontz Angle 3 speaker is not charging properly, there may be a problem with the circuit board. The circuit board acts as the communication interface between the AC outlet and the device’s battery.
So if it is defective or damaged in any way, it can prevent the speaker from functioning properly or charging at all.
To replace the faulty circuit board, you will need to first remove the case of your Oontz Angle 3 by using a screwdriver to loosen and pop out the pieces that hold it together.
Replace Faulty Circuit board for Oontz Angle 3 Speaker
Once you have access to the inside workings of your speaker, you can remove the old circuit board and replace it with a new one by simply snapping it into place.
Ideally, you should be able to find a replacement circuit board for your particular model directly from the Oontz brand website or from an online retailer like Amazon.
Finally, once you’ve replaced the board and secured your speaker back together again with its case, simply reconnect it to an AC outlet and power source to test whether or not it is charging properly.
