- THIS IS A SUPPLEMENTAL VIDEO TO MY HBS 700/730 VIDEO. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE ACTUAL REPLACEMENT OR PARTS USED, PLEASE WATCH THAT VIDEO ALSO.
This is my long overdue video on the HBS-750. It's a little more complicated to open up but, very simple to make repairs. I apologize in advance for my over use of the word "um".
In this video I will cover how to open the earpiece and where the components are located. Repairing these devices is reletively simple. You only require basic soldering skills and a little courage.
For further info, see my channel for more videos on the hbs series headphones.
Okay, so I just repaired my right side earbud. The wire was cracked inside the insulation at the flex point where it exits the housing. I was able to use the same earbud by simply cutting back about 2 inches of the wire. the wires are multi-strand varnished wire so you have to prep a very short bit of the wire before soldering back to the circuit board.
I just slide the grommet down the wire out of the way until I was ready to reassemble. I made sure there was a enough length stripped back on the jacket to make the new knot against the grommet and still be able to reach to solder pads. I used a drop of superglue in the knot because it kept trying to come untied. then you strip and tin the wires you can verify the earbud still works by measuring about 15 Ohms (not zero and not infinite). Once you verify the impedance, you can solder in place being sure to avoid shorting them with a solder bridge. Tuck the wires in, align the wires going around the loop and snap the housing back together and test. Once tested, you can replace the screw and plug.
Hi, my friend, peace be unto you. You don't realize how helpful you have been. I really appreciate this fix and the LG 750 vid.
I'm coming back a few months later to drop a comment as I realized that while your videos have come up amongst family and friend regarding this specific repair, I've never actually thanked you.
I have helped pretty much everybody I know with fixing this type of head phones. My buddies at the gym are pleased. My sister wears a hijab and loves these headphone, but keep having to replace them. I fixed all of her 3 broken sets.
She's been able to give the other 2 away to friends and family.
We all got together and collected some money for charity and we gave it under your name. I hope that You are able to see the rewards of your good work in this life and the here after.
Thank you for doing what you do.
Peace be unto you and your family as well. Thank you very much for telling me this and thank everyone very very much for the donation! Knowing I helped others is reward enough for me. I'm very happy that this video has been valuable to you. I'm even happier that you shared the knowledge to helped others.
Great contribution. Your comment on the hook and loop system helped me understand why I wasn't getting it open. I needed to pry out, not just up :-)
thats why i came here!! this guy is awesome !! @kez3000 +kez3000 thank you so much!! my power switch was stuck on stupid! I LOVE THESE HEADSETS!!! i despise using a phone without them!
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for taking the time to do this. And just an FYI, if you look into tools for doing cellphone repair they make plastic tools that make popping those snaps a lot easier. Less likely to scratch/damage the unit.
THANKS!!! You helped me save my favorite headphones and it cost me less than $10 to replace the battery.
Always happy to hear success stories. Glad I could help.
Thanks for posting this video, I use some hbs-750's when I'm working (lawn maintenance) and with the help of your video I was able to open them up so I could replace the stock buds with some Plugfone buds that block outside sound much better....Should allow me to keep the volume a little lower when working than before.
+Dawson Mobley I was considering that myself. I need earplugs at my job so I was considering using sound blocking buds.
+kez3000
I'll report back how they do, I swapped them in today and they are working but the real test will come Monday when I use them with my equipment running, I'm very familiar with how loud everything is to me with the old buds so if there is much difference I will notice it.
I can say the plugfones(executive model) sound better than I expected so no decrease in sound quality at least. I did reinforce where the wire exits the buds with shrink tube and rubberized CA as they had no strain relief at all and with the foam tips you have to pull on the wire to get them out of your ears...the wire itself will break now before the internal connections see any stress.
The plugfones work great for me with the foam insert, they seem to block about as much sound as a pair of standard foam earplugs and they sound pretty good, not heavy on the bass but I prefer that in this application since I normally have the volume louder than I do on my "non-work" ear buds.
The silicone inserts let too much high frequency sound through, plus they are a little too tight in my ear canal for comfort, so for me at least the foam inserts are the best option.
I shouldn't really criticize your video. What I learned from it, was that this sort of soldering job, simply goes beyond what I can do. And this realization came at an inconvenient time. Actually, my HBS-750 headset still works 100%. It would just be good, if there was some way to repair it later down the road.
+Dirk Mittler I go into closer detail in my first lg tone video for the hbs700/730. It's a long video but I show the whole process.
Great video, just what I wanted to know. Thanks man! Good bless you!
Thank you. Very informative - a little difficult to hear at times.
Nice video, thank you. Small correction: For battery sizes, you mean mAh (milliamp-hour) rather than milliamp.
yes, it is Milliamp-hour but I usually shorten it to Milliamps in conversations because those who understand will know what I'm referring to and those who don't won't care. I list the battery capacity as mAh for those who copy to search. The size is in millimeters (h,w,l)
OK, just so folks know, those are different things. A 250 mAh battery can provide 25 mA of current for 10 hours, 50 mA for 5 hours, etc.
Do you happen to know where to find replacement ear piece, the whole thing all the way from inside the headset its self? Mine have developed a short and I'd love to just re-solder on a new one.
You mean the earbud or the circuit board inside? If you just mean the earbud and wire, you should watch my first video for the HBS 700/730. I do not know of anyplace that will sell the original earbuds but I show you how to cut and use any earbuds you want from your local store.
Hi! Great video I have the same bluetooth headphones but I put them to charge using a generator and I haven't been able to turn them back on and I've tried charging them but they wont turn on. I've had these for a really long time, any tip or recomendation? Thanks in advanced!
It's possible your battery may have been damaged. The battery should never be below 3 volts and it shouldn't appear puffy or bulged. It's also possible that a connecting wire to the battery may have come loose. Those would be the first things I would check.
@@kez3000 would you recommend me loo looking for a place where I can get them repaired or should I just buy new ones?
Very useful video. Great video. Thanks.
Hi there!
Hope you’re well and still looking in on your comments. Can you please tell me how I might be able to repair the retraction on both sides of the headphones? They have stopped retracting 😩
You're videos are so appreciated!
Thank you very much,
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer,
I have not yet acquired any of the retracting LG Tone models. If I can find a pair to play around with, I'll make a video for you.
Thanks,
Chris
retractable are a great feature
kez3000 I'm not quite sure what the problem was but I took of the rubber piece (the one that goes in your ear) I cleaned everything and it seems to have a small circular cover on top idk maybe to prevent debris and what not from getting in..I took that off check the volume and it's working perfect again..put it back together repositioned it and it's all working..my guess was the cover was sorta jammed up in there..thanks..
I'm glad I read your post...I was having the same problem with the volume it kept getting lower and lower I could barely hear anything I took off those covers in the earbuds as you suggested and now the volume is great just like when I first bought it....wow never thought that would have made such a huge difference......thx
beethoven4online as gross as it may sound, earwax builds up on that cover and can start to prevent sound from passing through. It's good to clean any build up off them periodically.
I have the LG750. I am unable to find the replacement battery for it. Do you know where I can purchase one?
If you search "501240 3.7v lithium battery", you should come up with some results. Just for reference, its a 3.7 volt lithium polymer battery. The stock battery is 195mAh capacity (basically how much power the battery can store). I usually replace with higher capacity for some extended run time like 220mAh. Model #'s are tricky because they are usually the dimensions of the battery. For example... The battery I used for the video was 501240 or 051240 (the first two numbers can be reversed with some sellers). This model number stands for 05mm tall-12mm wide-40mm long. That's important so you'll know if it fits in the space inside the earpiece.
I have the HBS 740 and I can't seem to find a tutorial for anything about it. Mine just won't seem to hold the charge and stops at 30% and quickly dies. Is there something I can do to fix it?
I really don't know much about the 740. From searching Google, it seems to be a generic clone of the LG hbs700. My video on the 700 might help. Most of these units run on a single cell 3.7 volt lithium polymer battery. Usually around 195 to 260 mAh capacity (which ever will fit).
Hello Sir may God bless you. I have had these lg hbs 750 for 5 years now and I have used them with utmost care, more then a precious metal may be. They're still working fine but the only problem I'm facing is the headset is rebooting frequently on it's own while in use. Any good advice you can provide me for this problem. I believe I can still use them for another 2 to 3 years.
mine wont charge anymore or turn on. can it be fixed? and is it the battery? thanks alot in advance
That's usually the battery. If so, it can be fixed. I would open it up and check the battery wires first to see if they're still connected (sometimes they break off). Then (if the wires are ok) I would change out the battery. You can watch the procedure in my other video for the hbs 700/730. Hope this helps.
Hey! I have had my LG730 for almost two years and haven't had a single problem until a few days ago when my mic stopped working. I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. I have fully recharged, disconnected it and reconnected it from my Galaxy s3 but no luck! :( Any suggestions?
I was actually just asked a similar question the other day. I have another video for the HBS 700 and 730 (LG Tone HBS700 / 730 repair, mod and upgrade: czcams.com/video/UhFEuRD0vAA/video.html). You should watch it because it will show you how to open it up and get to the components.
I would first check the hole for the mic and look for debris that may be blocking it. It's located just above the left side earbud cup.
Next I would open it up and check that the mic wires are still connected to the circuit board.
If the wires are still securely attached, the mic can be replaced. It's almost the same procedure as replacing the earbuds, just 2 wires to solder onto the board.
I am planning on making my next video about the battery and mic since I have received so many questions about them.
Let me know if this helps.
Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to reply with suggestions on fixing this problem! Will do it this weekend and let you know! Stay blessed!
Katie Weaver Any updates on your repair? I just posted a new video that covers the microphone. I hope it helps.
kez3000 Work has been crazy so I am just now seeing your reply, so I apologize. I finally decided to purchase a new model a few weeks ago& decided to try the LG Tone Ultra800. So far so good. I have a few dislikes between these and my 730's, but hopefully I will adjust to the few new cosmetics. However, I'm still needing to replace my micro on my 730 bc I've decided to use them during Crossfit and work. If I have any problems this weekend replacing it, I'll let you know! Thank you again!! :)
Hi, i got my LG tone Pro HBS-750 and the Problem is that i can hear one side of the ear bud, but i can't hear the other one.... Is their a fix to this? Please Someone Helpp.
This video only shows how to open the hbs750 and where the components are located. You'll need to watch my other video on the hbs700/730 to see the earbud replacement process. One of your earbuds has probably gone bad.
So if they are not charging is it possible that it is the battery after check wall charger?
Thank you for doing this video....!!
So I took mine apart, but what's really the issue is that the call button is stuck and I can barely press it. How do I make it stick back out again ?
I haven't replaced any buttons yet. I know you can buy the buttons on ebay if you search by size.
kez3000 I have the LG HBS 700. Over time the insulation wears out near the housing and the wires are exposed. I've noticed the rubber boot that the ear bud wire is in the 730, 750, etc. I would like to add that to mine. I think it would release the stress on the wires a little bit. Where would a person get those or what would you suggest to fix this issue? Thanks in advance.
I don't believe the rubber boot is available for sale. Even if it was, it wouldn't fit the HBS700 inside the housing like the HBS750 does and would not provide the protection you're looking for. There is an alternative that I tried a few years ago in an attempt to make my earpiece waterproof, I taped up the charger door and dipped my HBS700 in a product called PlastiDip. It's a liquid rubber that cures into a soft rubber coating. It can be easily peeled off too. You could use this product to add a rubber coating to the wire and create your own boot for the wire.
Another option would be to make the hole in the housing for the wire a little bigger and add heat shrink to the wire. This would give the wire an added layer of protection. Of course this method would require you to remove the earbud from the earpiece first to slide the shrink wrap on.
Let me know how it works out for you.
Thanks for the videos, I replaced battery on a used 730 and there is a blue wire loose on PCB. The stop play button does not work. Do you know where it connects to on the battery side board?
Sorry for the late reply. No, I'm not sure where the blue wire connects. I'll have to take mine apart again to see.
Hi, great video! Please, I have a LG HBS-730 on power up, it gives 2 normal ringtones but then it starts vibrating, 6 ringtones and the blue light is blinking and just stops working. I can sometimes find it on the Bluetooth list as "issc shs", but can't pair with the cellphone. Already tried to start with the call button pressed, or other buttons but nothing happens differently ... please, any ideas will be that it is the microchip that is damaged? Is there any possibility of repair? Thank you!
I'm not sure what exactly would cause that issue but it's likely a component level repair on the control board. Which means if you're intent on fixing it, you're best option is to buy a set on Ebay with broken earbuds for cheap and swap the circuit boards (or swap the earbuds from your old set).
I didn't realize people cared for these headsets so much. I got my 750 on clearance for $5 at walmart and just picked up a infinim HBS 900 for $22. my 750 stopped working for some reason. it stays in a constant on state and won't shut off
+Kez: I should ask. Are the leads from the ear-pieces solid enamelled, or super-finely braided, enamelled? It affects longevity when subjected to stress.
+Dirk Mittler the stock earbuds are braided enameled.
Hello there, I bought a set of the LG 750 a few months ago. For some odd reason, it stopped working. I can't even turn it on. I tried charging it, but it went completely dead. Any idea why? and how to fix it?
Best guess is its a battery problem. First, I would check that the battery wires are connected properly (sometimes they are soldered poorly). Next check the battery with a volt meter and see if it has juice.
Let me know if this helps.
Which model AWEI ear buds did you use? The ones I've found don't look like they'd fit in the hsb-750 ear bud holder part.
I honestly don't remember. I'm pretty sure they go by a different model # now. I recommend shopping around and finding earbuds that you like. This is your chance to customize the earpiece and make it uniquely yours. Just try to get earbuds without the mic or buttons on the wire because it leaves you with less wire length to work with.
+kez3000 Thanks, I was actually more concerned about paying $20 for ear buds and then they won't fit in the HSB-750.
This is great! Have you considered opening up the HSB-800? I think they changed the screw covers to a hard plastic. All I'm doing is scratching it up and not getting it to move.
When I get one I'll be sure to take it apart and make a video for it. Unfortunately, I don't have one to experiment on.
part 2 and after I use it and unexpectedly ik disconnects from my phone and I can turn on and off the power and I don't hear the announcement that I'm turning it on or turning it off i plug it into the charger for about a half hour 40 minutes and she'll work again can you tell me why it stops working and then it maybe the battery could be a problem post your comment thank you
Hey man I have the lg HIS 750 and my right earbud wont work what should I do to fix it
Do you know if there are any instructions on upgrading the battery on the HBS-760 headset? The stock one never holds the charge long enough. Immediately unplug from charger and the level is high, wait less than 1 hour with unit off and it's medium level. I've seen enough other unit upgrades but not this unit.
+Dave Leary I've never worked on the 760 but the principal should be the same as my other two repair videos.
Help... i could not charge or use my headset completely this morning. I may have spoiled it when i placed it in my bag or when i wore it while standing against a wall.
+Butterdead Neo I need you to be a bit more specific about what help you would like from me.
is there a way to extend the bluetooth range on the headfones? mine cut in and out when my phone is in my pocket and im moveing around
Its possible but beyond my capabilities. It would take a class 3 bluetooth chipset.
Is there any software upgrades for the 750? I don't see anywhere on LG's site for them. I would love to see if there is any new options/settings.
+Jeff Brummer to my knowledge there are no firmware upgrades. I could be wrong but, I believe LG prefers to create new models rather than provide updates to old models.
Good day, i'm having the famous left earbud no sound problem, i liked your video and it looks very simple to do... could you tell me the model of the earbuds you used, you say they are AWEI but what model, because i couldn't find one that looked like yours.
Another thing, is there a correct way on the wire colors to be soldered into the pcb board or it doesn't matter? Hope you can answer me and best regards from mexico XD
Hi Miguel, you don't need to use the same model earbuds as me. The beauty of this mod is that you can use whatever ones you like. They work best if they fit into the cups but other than that, have fun picking style and color.
As to the wires, one is positive and one is negative so yes, it matters where you place them to have the best performance. The negative will be the same color on both earbuds (usually gold or silver). The positive is usually a different color for left and right earbuds like red left /blue right or something like that. You'll see the same color scheme for most eabuds including the ones you find inside the lg tone. There is usually a (-) symbol on the pcb where the negative attaches. I go into more detail on this in my hbs700 video.
kez3000 Thanks, i asked about the colors because before i went and spend on some cool earbuds, i wanted to try some cheap ones just in case it wasn't the speakers.... and the cheap ones have 4 colors :S one side has gold/blue and the other one has red/green.
I see, that is confusing that they didn't use a common color for negative. There is a simple way you can find out if you still have the headphone jack part of the earbuds and a multimeter. If you add some solder to the wires (to burn off the coating) and use the diode setting you can find the 2 negatives because they will be wired together inside the jack. I can explain further if you need more instruction. The positive wires should not be shorted to each other at any point so, you won't see them react when you check them against other wires with the multimeter.
If all else fails, I would wildly guess that gold and green are negative.
kez3000 no i don't have it, that's why i used them because originally they didn't have it but no worries, i'll try them both ways and see which side works better XD at the end it's just only a test...
Regards and thanks for the quick replies
Once you add solder to the ends of the wires, you don't have to solder them to the pcb right away. I will usually touch the new wires to the contacts on the pcb with the earpiece streaming music to make sure the earbud works before committing to a permanent connection.
HI. My 750 headset just stopped working today. For no apparent reason. I did not drop it, get it wet, or overheat it. It will not charge, come on at all, or light the l.e.d. Any help you could offer would be priceless. Thanks so much.
It is probably the battery. I would open it and check the battery wires. Sometimes the factory doesn't solder them properly and they disconnect over time.
In this Bluetooth only ine channel sound play in both speakers can you made a vide on that how to make duo channel in it HBS-730
I've never encountered that issue. Have you tried connecting the bluetooth to another device?
@@kez3000 yes and i have checked the connection of the speakers also both are connected to one channel only
great vid question about the 750 though when it's on the charger the led is a solid blue not red and it's not charging eventually after constant unplugging and replugging it starts to charge ur thoughts?
It sounds like you have a short to ground somewhere in the unit.
Hi. My HBS750 stopped working. It charges and the battery indicator turns blue, but as soon as I take off the charger the unit refuses to turn on. Any idea what the problem could be?
+Mansoor Aziz Ahmed there are lots of possible reasons. One could be that your battery isn't holding a charge anymore. It's also possible your power switch is broken. It's hard to know without inspecting it.
same with mine but I fixed mine by holding the call button (i forgot how many second I held it for) but after I did that it was speaking and working fine again
What to do if the usb jack is uprooted and the print is uprooted
If the circuit board is torn. It may be beyond repair. You could look for a broken set on ebay for parts and swap out the pcb.
Great video and channel! My HBS750 has the volume up button constantly "pressing itself". When I am on a call it makes the audio to keep changing from my phone to the headsets and then back and forth (very annoying). When I am just listening to music it keeps activating and deactivating the vibration mode. Would you suggest anything to fix this issue? Thanks a lot.
+Vision Indonesia if I had that issue, I would probably disassemble the earpiece, disconnect the battery (soldering required) and lightly clean the buttons with alcohol (over 90%). Then see if that fixed any sticking.
Thanks Sir. great channel!
What is the model number of the Awei headphones you have in this video i have an issue with the LG Tone Pro HBS 760 and i was thinking of just replacing the earbuds and wires. Thanks
Awei ES600M CB Super Bass Noise Isolating HiFi Headphone Earphone For iPhone MP3 on ebay. I'm not sure if this model is available any more tho.
perhaps ebay may be of some assistance if not im sure i can do some research and find a similar model
Any earbuds without a mic will work. You just need to figure out what style you want to have on your earpiece.
mines just randomly stopped charging. never dropped it or anything
Check your wire connections inside first. If all is attached, check that your charging port is still fully attached to the board. If all that checks out OK, check the voltage on your battery. If your battery voltage is low and if the battery feels bloated and squishy its probably gone bad.
i have the HBS750.
i havent had any issues till now but ive noticed the left earbuds sound has lowered greatly in sound quality.
im not really sure what to do, should i try to take the thing apart to look at it closer...? any tips appreciated..
Go to my channel and watch my other video on LG Tone repair for the 700/730. I show the earbud replacement. The procedure is mostly the same for the 750 bit opening the case odd different. Lower quality in one side is usually a sign that speaker is going bad.
Okay ty ill watch asap.
where do we buy the cable and earpieces for the 750?
Lg does not have it listed in their site for parts. thanks.
alex
You can purchase them anywhere you buy earphones. You should watch my video for the hbs 700/730. It details how to use ordinary set of plug in earphones for the repair.
I have a axpt Bluetooth, the blue light wont go off at all, when I charge it its blue and red. i had it paired yesterday and today its not working what can i do to get it to work?
Honestly, I'm not an expert but it sounds to me like you have a short on the circuit board somewhere. First, I would take it apart and inspect the board for anything that looks burnt or exposed wires that look like their touching other parts. If all that fails, I would buy one with broken earbuds and swap out the board.
Hello, there? Thanks for the excellent videos. I just purchased HBS-750 off the ebay. But my HBS-750 earbuds won't stick well to the sockets and constantly fall off. How do I fix it? Let me know, thanks.
You might check to see that the magnets inside are properly placed. If that doesn't help you may try replacing the magnets. They're easy to find on amazon or ebay.
I have an HBS-750 where I can't adjust the volume up, but can adjust the volume down. When trying to adjust the volume up, the volume does not change, the button does not press in like it does when adjusting the volume down. Any recommendations.
I would disassemble it and check that the buttons on the control board push and click freely. I would also check that the outer button shell moves freely. The outside part of the button can easily become dirty and require cleaning to prevent getting stuck.
@@kez3000 impressive... 👍
You are a nice person...
Please know that.
Regards. 🎉
Any thoughts on why those i call seem to get alot of the background noise? Sometimes its fine and others getting out of the car drives others on the other end crazy
Not sure. I've had that issue too. Something to do with the nose cancelation hardware they use I think.
Oooh~ then you got closer to Mic. so now I can hear pretty good as long as you are close the mic
kez3000 I bought a set of the HBS3000 and my ear buds wires have shortages right were they connect. Could u make a video on these head set on how to fix or mod. Thanks
I'd love to make that video but unfortunately, I'll have to wait till someone donates a set for me to tinker with.
where did you find the ear buds and the replacement battery?
Watch my first video and I'll tell ya all about it. Hbs 700/730
yes i have a question about the hbs-750. I use mine to skate and they worked fine during my last run. But when i got home it was completely unresponsive. Doesnt light up to charge. Wont turn on. Im getting absolutely nothing. What can i do to fix it? Didnt drop them or do anything crazy so why would it just stop? Wont charge, light up, nothing since last night
+Michael Sadler well, there are a few possibilities. Opening it up will give you a better idea of what's wrong. If you sweat on them, the internals might get wet and corroded. They are not sealed very well against moisture. My guess is its the battery tho. The battery is sometimes not connected very well and over time can disconnect. I've seen it happen a few times. If you open it up as shown, you can check that there are no disconnected wires.
Ok ill open it up. How will i know what the problem is if everything is connected? And how much does a battery cost. Im a sole provider of 3 off not much more than minimum wage. Literally have zero funds.
+Michael Sadler opening it up is just a starting point. It gives you a chance to visually inspect the earpiece. Even if you don't know what all the circuits and wires do, it's not hard to spot something that looks burnt, discolored, disconnected or broken. The batteries aren't very expensive at all. On average about $5. The catch is that they are rarely on ebay or for sale in the US. I buy mine from over seas on Aliexpress.com and they take almost a month to arrive. It's worth the wait and nice that you can put a higher capacity battery in and get more run time. I highly recommend you watch my other video on the hbs 700/730. It shows a full tear down, earbud replacement and battery replacement. The model is different but the principal is the same.
How do I find the replacement cord for them? My cat got a hold of it, so I wanted to know where I can get the earbud cords from.
+Ayiden Lightsky I don't know where to get the original earbuds from the factory. As I show in my other video for the hbs700 I use common earbuds that you can find at almost any store. They all install the same (one positive, one negative wire per speaker). If you want to know more, go to my channel and watch my other videos for the lg tone. Hope this helps.
I have the hbs 750 and it hasn't been working recently. I've put it to charge plenty of times and it still won't turn on. Also, I can't seem to figure out whether they should be charged with the power on or power off. Please respond, I need the help.
+sinistersky it sounds like your battery may be bad. Your hbs750 should automatically turn off anytime the charger is connected so, it shouldn't matter if the switch is on or off. My other videos on the hbs series headphones may help.
how about the LG hbs 760...
can I open the ear buds or I have to replace the whole ear buds...
it seems like the shortage is near the ear buds, where the wire starts to come out...
best bet will be to replace them ..??
+Jose Arellano I always prefer to replace the wire and earbuds together. If the speakers are still good, it's your choice if you'd like to just replace the wire. I don't recommend it tho.
kez3000
ok .. thank you..
hey,
I have the hbs 800. I started having issues with the audio coming out only on the right side. I took it a part then was unable to have it turn on. when I plug it up to charge the red light comes on then shuts off. no other lights. any ideas what I did for it not to work?
+specscrewart honestly, I'm not sure. I've never had an 800 to play with. If it's charged but not powering on, I'd check the power switch. If it's not charging at all, check the battery wires for a loose connection.
mine just started vibrating even when its turned off what you think its the problem ?
I'm not really sure but I would open it up and check all the wires are connected properly and nothing looks burnt.
my lg hbs 750 will not pair. the purple light stays on constantly even when I turn it off. when I plug in the headset to a charger, the light turns solid blue until unplugged then goes back to purple. it will say power on and power off when stitch is flipped, nothing else. do I need a new battery?
this happened to me b4.. what u do is let it die entirely and recharge it and it should be good as new
Still no good. Just got a new one
Where can I get those earpods pieces, my headset works well, but both aerpods doesn't work, need the replace em
did you u find any?
@@postskeetclarity not yet my friend!!
hey, would you be able to dind out why the volume on the left bud is way lower then the right one
Its likely the earbud is going bad. If you get another earbud and touch the wires to the contacts on the pcb you can test if it's an earbud problem or not.
Everyone sharing how to replace line and earbud, but were can you buy the replace line and earbud????????
You buy regular plug in earbuds and cut them. I show you how in the hbs700/730 video on my channel.
One side of mine stopped working, I have two of them, but I have to reserve the other one, help me??
Have you watched all of my videos for the LG Tone?
My right side speaker sounds way lower at maximum volume, seems to be getting worse actually...is there a way I can just replace the speaker inside the ear bud? instead of opening the device and what not...
Yes, you can open the ear bud and replace the speaker but it's very tricky and I wouldn't recommend it. If you look at the side of the ear bud, you will see a seam. The ear bud case is glued together in two parts. If you squeeze it just right and pry it apart with a utility knife, it comes apart.
I've tried it multiple times and have only been successful once. The problem is that the ear bud case usually gets completely ruined in the process of trying to open it. Also, extracting a speaker from another ear bud usually ruins the speaker because they are extremely delicate.
The easier way to go, is to buy a broken earpiece on ebay for around $12 and extract a working ear bud from it.
If you do attempt the speaker transplant, please keep me posted. I wish you luck and steady hands.

Same thing happened to me. I used to always use the left side more than the other, then that side started to get way lower in volume. Started using the right side and the same thing happened.
I found that the tiny piece of mesh covering the driver (you can see it when you take of the rubber from the earbud, looks like black paper) caused my earbuds to gradually get worse and worse.
Try removing it and hearing the difference. It's like night and day for mine.
Mine must have gotten permeated with earwax and stopped transmitting sound as well. It's a super-fine mesh so it's very understandable.
I'm still looking for a permanent solution but I scraped one of the meshes pretty well and it seemed to have gotten better but not great. Have to have SOMETHING covering that driver.
could you please repair or open up a samsung level u head set ? i can't figure it out how to open that .
I've had a pair of hbs-750 for less than a year now and sometimes they will play when they are switched off. Also, they often have choppy playback even if my device is right next to me; and it only happens if i move the headset (when working out, etc.)
Any ideas? I've had these just spontaneously start playing music while in my bag even when the switch is clearly set to off!
It should still be covered under the 1 year warranty if you've had it less than a year. I would call LG and have them repair it under warranty.
Great video! Can you help me with this question?- My 750 got wet . I plugged it into charge and the red light stays on and won't charge. What is going on here?
+Erin Morgan-Kilroy it's likely that you have water damage. You could check your circuit board for any corrosion that might be causing a short and clean it with 90% alcohol. You could also try cleaning the board in an ultra sonic cleaner (I've not yet tried this method). I know they do that for water damaged cell phone boards. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much!
thank you. I apprentice the input.
I have an LG Bluetooth headset and need to replace wire and earbud. Where can I purchase this, any suggestions?
I take wired earbuds (for use with 3.5mm plug) and cut them. Then I solder them in and add a magnet to the backs. Try watching my HBS 700/730 video to see what I mean.
hi I'm having problems with my LG headset Bluetooth headset where they they come on after I charge it the blue lights always on I charge over night
It sounds like your power button is stuck in the on position.
where can one buy the battery you showed in this video?
+stang1973 I get mine from Aliexpress.com
How do you repair the selection buttons. Specifically, my answer call button on the left side does not move at all. i can't answer calls from the headset. Thanks.
Hi Kent, I need a little more info. First you need to open the earpiece up and see if there is anything blocking the button. Then remove the plastic outer part of the button and see if the part attached to the circut board can be depressed. If not, you can take the button measurements (usually in millimeters) and find a replacement online. I would look on ebay. If that fails, you can buy a broken one on ebay and either swap circuit boards or fix the new one you get with parts from the old one. Let me know what you find.
Hi kent
Im having the same problem with the call button. Did u ever resolve your issue? Are they worth fixing or is it a better one out there?. I havent had mine that long, so I was surprised. Any feedback wud b appreciated thx. K
how do you reset so it will start charging again? Thanks for taking the time to create these videos
+Default Name I'm not sure I understand the question. There is no reset that I know of. Please explain the symptoms.?
where did u find the ear buds with the earth magnets in them and the name of them thank u and great info on the video
I didn't find them. I made them. Watch my other video hbs700/730.
+kez3000 in the 750 video u talk about them using earth magnets for driver u say name i think u say wee u spell them i think wei
Oh, those. The ones with the earth magnet drivers... I honestly don't remember. Think they were Awei or something like that. They were from China sold on ebay.
Any advise on the power switch? Mine won't turn on. Every once and again I can coax it on but very rarely. It actually turned on when I popped to cover off, had the power button in the on position and it came to life. Any help?
I actually posted a video just for the power switch. There is also a person in the comment section of that vid who offers 3D printed replacement parts.
Thanks
Went looking for battery replacement video... couldn't find it. Where can i go to buy a new battery?
Hi Jessica, sorry for the very late reply. For some reason, I didn't get a notification of your comment.
If you search "501240 3.7v lithium battery", you should come up with some results. Just for reference, its a 3.7 volt lithium polymer battery. The stock battery is 195mAh capacity (basically how much power the battery can store). I usually replace with higher capacity for some extended run time like 220mAh. Model #'s are tricky because they are usually the dimensions of the battery. For example... The battery I used for the video was 501240 or 051240 (the first two numbers can be reversed with some sellers). This model number stands for 05mm tall-12mm wide-40mm long. That's important so you'll know if it fits in the space inside the earpiece.
I hope this helps.
You can also find my first video here:
czcams.com/video/UhFEuRD0vAA/video.html
It's for model 700 and 730 but it's the same basic instructions once you get to the battery inside.
I have a few questions....
What exactly causes the earbuds to stop working? Because all that happened to me was that I fell alseep wearing them ONCE and worked fine until like 6 hours later they randomly stop working in the middle of a song and now I can't get them to work properly again..
Forgot to ask the second question * facepalms *
And also is there a way to fix the wire from the outside so I don't risk destroying my headphones?
+xenomorph101AJ
1: there are multiple causes for the earbud to quit. The most common is the wire breaking inside the rubber coating. The speakers inside the earbud are also very delicate and can quit over time. Sometimes a build up of ear wax seeps into the earbud and kills the speaker too.
2: I'm sure if you are determined, you could fix it outside the casing but, i wouldn't recommend it. Chances are the repair won't be as durable and won't last. I say if you're going to do it, do it right. Shortcut repairs lead to sort lived repairs. It's really not that hard but if you're not comfortable, don't attempt it.
Hope this helps
+kez3000 also, did the entire unit stop working or just an earbud? If it's the whole unit, is probably not a speaker or wire problem.
+kez3000 just the right earbud, everything else works
+BloodDragon058 the exact same thing happened to me
If my earbuds short out and stop working will I have to replace the earbud itself or the whole cord and assembly
+BigChi61 I hate to refer to any set procedure as "required"in the world of DIY. If you choose to, you could just repair the wire. I would recommend you replace the whole earbud for a few reasons. It's easier, it's a more reliable repair and you get the opportunity to install better earbuds. I show you the entire replacement in my video for the hbs 700/730 and how to use regular store bought buds.
Well I just decided to listen to one side but I have some new ones coming on February 2nd there. are purple one I think is 730 or750 but I have to see when they come in the mail and I'll get back with you later
I thought my LGHBS780 was going bad but it's just your mike volume going in and out.
Mine used to work great; but now when I put my phone in my pocket, the signal breaks up really bad. Like a weak Bluetooth signal?
+a b unfortunately IMO that's a common problem with bluetooth in general and I've had that issue with all my earpieces. I'm not sure if there's any fix for that.
on my the on and off switch is loose how to do I fix that please help me I don't want to buy a new one or throw it out please help me
+Jessica Chan I have a "mic & power switch"video for that.
Okay so with mine I can't turn it on without having to hold a button down and when it turns on no other device can connect with it at all. I tried other phones to check if I'll be able to pair it with one but I can't any solutions?
Honestly, I've never run across that problem. Sounds like one of your controller chips may be bad.
+kez3000 okay cause I'm looking up a lot of things to help but I've tried most of them it's probably broken
Your best bet might be to buy a broken one on ebay cheap and swap parts. My other hbs video shows a lot of the replacement procedures.
+kez3000 okay thank you
Hey where would I get better earbuds for my lg hbs 770s I've looked everywhere and can't find anywhere to buys the better ones
+nate7621 you can't buy them specifically for any of the lg tone series. You need to buy regular plug in earbuds and cut the wires to length. I show this in my hbs 700/730 video.
Ah so what about the whole magnetic part of it or is that in the video
+nate7621 yes, you can pull the magnets out of the old earbuds or you can buy small rare earth magnets and glue them on. I use earbuds with a flat back and i glue on flat round magnets. You just need to stick the magnet in the earpiece cup first to know what side to glue to the earbud. Otherwise they might repel instead of attract.
kez3000 cool thanks for the help
Mine refuses to turn on. No response if I toggle the switch on and off.
So I decided to charge it, maybe the battery's dead!
I plug it in and the small led light begins to blink red, blue and purple!
WTH?
Sounds like you might have a board problem.
how can I stop it from vibrating it only vibrate when it on
Is there a repair for the random cutting in and out of the mic during a call?
First, I would check the +/-wires that connect the mic to the board for a loose connection.
If that fails, I would replace the mic. You can pull a mic from a cheap set of earbuds that have a mic along the wire.
Please keep me posted with your results and let me know if I can help further.
Sounds good I will. This seems to be a huge problem across the board with 730 and 750
michael spriggs If you are still having the issue, I just posted a video about the microphone that may help.
mine turns on and immediately starts vibrating, I hear 2 different beeps, and the led shows long red, 4 short blues, then vibrates and starts the pattern again. any ideas?
In short, I'd say the earpiece is screwed. You could open it up and see if they're are any lose wires or crossed connections.
Where can I buy the replacement switch and battery? Can you also reply the part number please?
+Rodel Mantua as far as I know you can't buy the switch, you need to have someone 3d print one for you. There was a viewer in the comment section of my Mic & Power switch video that claimed to make them. You should watch my other videos and read the comments. The battery question is one I've answered hundreds of times.
can someone help me my headphones charge but when I go to turn it on I doesn't do anything
can you do the HBS 760-battery replacement?
I could if I had an hbs760.
Mine will turn on, but will not connect. So I manually connect them and they play sound and music and video with no problem. Except! The controls do no work. Sound, skip/back. Call/Siri/mute and so on. What's up with that?
Sounds like it might be a problem with your phone. Try pairing to another device to see if you have the same issue.
+kez3000 I really appreciate the reply. That's what I'm assuming as well. I had just done the new iOS 9 update the night before. Woke up, went to work and paired like it always did. Then it would call the most recent number I dialed. But I wasn't hitting the call button. So I shut it off. When I headed to break to check it out. That's when it all started.
i do have the same problem, i already try diferent phones and no luck. did you fix yours yet?
+Jan Luciano same thing with trying other phones. Still didn't work. And not i did. I was able to even exchange mine since I luckily found the receipt.
My charging piece inside my headphones started moving, I opened them up and I guess they got unsoldered some how, and it is just shacking around inside my headphones? If I soldered the charging piece back on will that make it work again or is it something a little more complicated.
You have to look at it under magnification. Soldering it back on should fix it but you have to make sure not to bridge any pins that weren't already bridged. Since its only used for power and not data, it's not too complicated.
kez3000 Is there any specific video you could recommend to me for this, and thank you for taking your time to respond.
I don't know of any specific video off hand but I would recommend watching Louis Rossmann's channel. He does component level repair on motherboards, micro soldering, smc replacement and lots of other detailed work. I learned a lot from watching his videos.
kez3000 Thank you very much, I'll be sure to subscribe.
Mines will charge perfectly, but refuses to turn on. I'm desperate. They're my favorite headphones and I don't want to shell out another 50 dollars to fix it. What do I do?
+Kathleen Saint-Amand is it an hbs750? Try watching my video on the power switch. If that doesn't help, you may need to check the voltage on your battery with a multi meter.
where can I purchase replacement rare earth magnet ear buds to upgrade my lg hbs 750?
The short answer is you can't. To my knowledge they are sold exclusively in bulk to the manufacturer. If you watch my other video for the hbs700/730 I show you a way to put magnets on the replacement earbuds.
I am trying to increase the audio power and quality. Any suggestions?
In my experience the hbs750 wasn't designed to be as loud as the earlier models. Unfortunately, if there is a way to increase the audio output, I haven't discovered it yet. I personally went back to using an hbs700. The audio is much louder and there's a lot more room to fit a larger battery.
One of the earbuds is making a buzzing sound Is it fixable or is it permanently broken?
+OYSABANDIT !!!!!! Fixable or not? That kind of depends on what is causing it to make the buzzing sound. You need to determine if it's the earbud going bad or a problem in the circuit board. The method I like to use to check the earbud functionality is to buy a very cheap set of plain earbuds, cut them to expose the wires, add solder to the wires, touch the wires to the speaker +/- contacts on the circuit board while the earpiece is streaming music and listen for sound. If I hear the music with the test earbud, I'll know it's an earbud problem.
kez3000 if it is a earbud problem what i do, or is it broken
+OYSABANDIT !!!!!! Watch my video for the hbs 700/730. It's long but I show the full earbud and battery replacement. The 750 video is just a suppliment to show the teardown and component locations.
kez3000 ok thanks
