I hate to bug you all with my simple question, but it has me baffled and I have nowhere else to turn. I own a pair of Recoton W500 headphones (stop laughing!) and recently replaced the battery (simple, right?)
Since then, I've run across a constant problem - after only a few seconds of being on, the music dissolves into static. The power light remains strongly on (it should, for a twelve buck battery) but the signal light simply goes out.
My limited troubleshooting has eliminated any problem with the broadcasting unit, because after a few minutes off, turning the headphones back on allows for a few more seconds of crystal-clear music. I've also eliminated any interference; I've turned off absolutely every piece of electronic equipment in the room and held the headphones inches from the base unit and it STILL happens.
What did I do??? How did I mess this thing up? If you have an idea, could you e-mail it to me in addition to posting it? Just in case I don't find this board again (which I'm sure you'd all appreciate!). Thanks SO much, everyone, for any help you can provide.
