Do you own Sony WH 1000XM4 headphones and worried about charging? Does it start blinking red light while charging resulting in little to no charge even when plugged in for hours?
If you are also experiencing this issue, you may already have tried restarting or resetting but these solutions will not work.
That’s why I am going to explain the reason and solution to the blinking red light on your Sony wh 1000xm4 headphones. So stay tuned till the end.
What does blinking red light indicate?
A blinking red light on Sony wh 1000 xm4 indicates rise in temperature. It is a warning sign that your headset is overheated. But, is it heated, or is it a wrong indicator? That’s the point.
However, if the red light stays on, it means that your headset is charging fine. It can also blink red if the battery is low. However, if it constantly keeps blinking red, it means that there is some problem with the headset.
How do you know if the headset is overheated or a false indication?
To know if you are really in trouble, check the temperature of your headset by touching it. If it is overheated; I mean if it is heated more than usual, it is a sign that the problem is overheating. Sony WH 1000 XM4 has a temperature sensor that warns you when it’s overheated.
Another possibility is false indication which is caused by a faulty temperature sensor. I mean there is actually no overheating but your Sony headset will blink red.
Solution to overheating
To solve this problem, you need to lower its temperature. You can turn it off for a while or stop using it unless the temperature drops. If it is plugged in, remove the charger until the headset cools down, and then plug it again.
Solution to False indicator
If you notice that your headset is at normal temperature but still blinking red, there is nothing wrong except a faulty temperature sensor. Yes, there could be some glitches, but as I mentioned above, if you already have tried resetting and restarting, they will not be the issue at this point.
To fix the temperature sensor, you may need professional support or you can try it yourself. You can see if there is some damage that you can fix.
You can also check the wire that connects the temperature sensor to the main board to see if it is loose or damaged. Sometimes it is damaged due to which the headset blinks red.
