I have not invested a QC charger yet.
I am charging it now, will surely try all that over night.

Keep us posted - hope it wakes up in the morning (maybe it played just a little too hard today and needs a nice long rest!!!)....

Cheers,

I thought you might have tried all these - sucks that nothing has worked yet. I seem to recall at least a few others experiencing this issue and somehow got theirs revived. Have you tried letting it fully charge yet? I know mine takes about 2 1/2 hours using a QC compatible charger...

Good Luck,
Tim

As far as I remember QC works only when player is on and in Android mode.

I've had this happen to me a few times on my DX220. Often I'll use the usb charging port off my PC instead of my QC'r. Every time it gets stuck in this lock up cycle I've had to do the power/play combo several times until it finally goes into core reboot mode...then all is well again. My understanding from Paul is it's actually charging even though it doesn't say so.

I do vaguely remember this dialog way back in this thread - didn't think of it when I did the testing and posted this a few days ago: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/dx2...ilable-and-dc01.898388/page-479#post-15097309. I will check the QC results again with the DX220 on and in Android mode and report back...

Thanks for pointing this out!

Cheers,

Reporting back about dead unit.
Just about to give up after charge over night and plug into PC usb, nothing
suggested above working, I did a last try by unplug it from usb and
press the power button, and it just turned on normally!
I notice even after charged over night the battery show as 36%?
I guess that it happened when after drop from 51% to 36%, don't know why.
I will keep it plug in with pc and see if it is charged.

Thanks everyone for the help and suggestion.

Hey - that is good news! I have read in some other device threads about triggering safe/lockout modes under QC/PD charging protocols - don't know if that is a possibility with the DX220 but maybe Paul could look into this?

@Paul - iBasso - any thoughts on this or inputs from the iBasso team? Could a QC/PD lockout be triggered somehow?

Cheers,
Tim

That is one thing about this community… There are more people willing to help you here then in a lot of other threads.

Tim, once again, you’ve helped someone out who’s on the brink of disaster. Bravo bro! Great looking out!

I don't know. I will have to find out from our software team on Monday.

If you can please find a Quick Charger. Most computers don't put out very much current from the USB port and are very slow to charge the DX220 or any QC device. Two or more amps are needed for a normal charge and a QC unit for the 2.5 hours of charge time with the DX220. Also Trying different USB C cables can help as they don't all perform the same.

Thank you sir - I am a firm believer in the mantra of treat others how you want to be treated - learned at a young age and it has stuck with and served me well throughout my life. And as you say - this is an incredible community of selfless and generous people that elevates the hobby!

Of course, "this just my opinion and I could be wrong"... (thank you Dennis Miller)

Cheers,

Yes, I verified Topping DX7s works, I tried just to know if it is working.
DX220 DAC is better, so connecting external Amp makes more sense to me.

QC charger ordered.
I hope this lockup and sudden shutdown can be resolved soon (hopefully it is firmware resolvable).
