HM801 will not charge, and produces no sound. Any ideas?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

I had the same post posted in Head-direct sponsored forum. 

I did not get much response.. so I guess I've posted them in the wrong section.

 

If someone could tell me how I can delete the thread I posted in the head-direct forum, I will delete them =]

Hello,

 

I just purchased a HM-801 from a fellow Head-fier EL Ray

I received them and it was working fine for about an hour.

 

I tried it both as a DAC, and a Player. They were working fine.

 

Then I had to step outside for a while so I charged it for about 7 hours and when I came back, suddenly it produces no sound, just low volume hiss and noise.

The problem is same whether it is being used as a DAC or a player.

It also tells me that the battery has no power after 7 hours of charging.

I have tried to re-boot the system (already spoke with one of the customer service representatives)

I also tried to take out the battery and re-insert them (few times).

Battery is still not charging.

 

Could this have anything to do with the fact that I'm in S.Korea and the outlet is 220v? 

I know few others in Korea using HM-801 so I do not think that this could be the problem.

 

 

The customer representative also told me that they need paypal transaction page in order to get it serviced. What happens if I cannot provide them? how much would it cost me for repair?

 

I hope I can resolve the problem without sending the unit to China :(

 

Hope somebody can help!

Hi Rk,

 

You need to find out where the seller got the HM-801 from first. If he directly buy from head-direct.com, please contact head.direct.customerservice@gmail.com for warranty detail.

 

Best,

Fang

I'm in the process of contacting the original buyer and getting the paypal transaction details. Someone at head-direct told me they need them when I phoned them.

 

However, I also hope that I can fix it within sending the unit to China :(

It was working fine for the first hour.. so I'm really not sure what went wrong. When it was working fine, it was also plugged with power.

Try something simple by:

 

1) Turning the unit off.

2) Remove the SDHC Type 4 card.

3) Remove the battery and allow the unit to stand at least 5 minutes with the battery removed and the power cord not connected.

4) Re-install the battery.

5) Re-insert the SDHC Type 4 Card.

6) Turn on and hopefully it will work.
