Hey guyz!

I've just stumbled across this forum/thread..coz I've been googlin' like crazy for my issue.. The problem is that I bought the Sony PS3 bluetooth headset yesterday and out of the box it worked great both with my cell and the ps3..then I left it in the USB cradle attached with Ps3 and left it for a full charge for 3 hours..now when I returned and picked up the headset..it just simply wont turn on..?? I put it back in the cradle, and the red charging light blinks for a few seconds then it goes off and then again..its just dead, wont turn on.. :/ I've been tryin to turn it on after every hour or so since morning but no luck yet..I've pressed n held the power button for like 30 seconds or so each time but it just wont even blink the damn green light.. I've read all the manuals, I'm not an amateur, I know how to handle gadgets like this..and I must tell you this is a genuine issuse so plzzz don't suggest "read the manual, hold the button longer, try to pair it and al"l...coz the issue is "it just wont power on!!!".. I'm desperate to see a positive response, hope there's a fix for it..though I've left it for a while, let some battery drain for like overnight, then I'll see wat happens :s takcare all, waitin for your replies..

i don't know what fix could work. I guess try letting the battery run dead, if you can as it won't switch on long enough, so that might take a longtime, otherwise get a replacement from the shop you bought it from.

Didn't read your post sorry....but try Deleting your "Bluetooth Headset Device" from the Accessory settings and try reconnecting again (did it a couple of days ago when I reformatted my system)

Hey thanx for all these replies, but as you said here about reconnecting n repairing, the issue is not "device recognition" rather the issue is "device power failure" i.e it just won't turn on at all no matter where I plug it :S Its still powerless after I left it for overnight battery drainage..let's see..

Ya, I've mailed it back today to the seller..I bought it online at Play-Asia.com. I contacted them, and they said, once they receive it, they'll test it in their lab and if it couldn't be fixed then they'll gimme an option to either claim a refund or ask for a new headset..though I'm confused what to do..any ideas :S ??? (coz who knows the next one might malfunction as well and i'll have to pay the postage of sending at back yet again..coz this issue is getting too common with these headsets as I searched the forums all over google) ..

lets see..

I'm having the same problem wiuth my headset. Initially, it got through the chargiung process fine and gave me the steady red ring to show a full charge. When it didn't pair via USB or bluetooth scan, I left it and went to work. When I got back and tried again, the headset wouldn't power on at all. I didn't think it could lose a charge so quicky but I plugged it up anyway and it flashed the red ring about every two seconds and then after a while would stop flashing all together. No steady light though. Still no power. I left it to deplte it's charge and try again but I'd really like to know if anyone has a solution to this problem. Are they sendiong out defective headsets or is it something that I did to it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I need to get this working!

Oh well that's just wonderful ;) It all looks like this is Sony's own little red ring of death (it's ironic yes). Bought it yesterday, worked great, charged it and it's as dead as .. well XBOX 360! :) Does not turn ON no matter what. Red ring still blinks for a while if I charge it. Looks like Sony just made another piece of **** that just doesn't work! :P

Bring it back to the store and get an exchange. If you don't have the reciept, call Sony.
