A week ago, I got my hands on the new Skullcandy Jib True wireless earbuds and I was so excited to try them out. I charged the case before using them for the first time and they worked great.
But after a week of using them, I noticed that the earbuds and the case wasn’t charging anymore.

To troubleshoot this problem, you will need to clean the charging poles and pins, reset the earbuds and correctly place earbuds in the case.
If you are still confused what to do in each step then read on.
1. Clean Skullcandy Jib

You will need a cotton cloth, toothpick, and rubbing alcohol to clean the earbuds.
To clean earbuds, pour a few drops of rubbing alcohol on the cotton cloth and apply them to the charging poles. Then remove the dirt with the soft toothpick and then clean with the cloth.
It would be best to be careful while cleaning because doing it wrong can damage your earbuds.
2. Clean Charging Case
Also, dirt on the charging case pins stops the current flow, and as a result, earbuds won’t charge.
Therefore you should also clean charging case pins. To clean charging case pins, pour a little bit of rubbing alcohol on the cotton cloth and clean the pins.
After cleaning the earbuds charging poles, and charging case pins, place buds in the case. They will start charging.

Because sometimes, earbuds will not charge due to bugs and glitches.
And resetting earbuds will remove any glitches in them.

4. Properly Place in the Case

Use a cotton swab to clean dirt from the charging port.
After proper cleaning, plug the charger into the case it will start working.

Therefore the case doesn’t charge with other cables or take more time than usual because these cables are incompatible with your Skullcandy Jib case.
So, the best way is to charge the case with the original provided charging cable.
3. PC in Sleep Mode
If you are charging the case with the PC or other consoles such as Xbox or PS4, ensure they are not in sleep mode.
Because sometimes you will plug the case into your PC when it is in sleep mode, therefore case doesn’t charge even after remaining plugged in for hours.
So, make sure your PC is working when the charging case is plugged in.
4. Check Charging Cable
A faulty charging cable can also be responsible for the case charging issue. Mostly charging cables doesn’t work when they are regularly twisted.
Therefore you should check your charging cable by plugging in another charging cable.
If the case starts charging with the new cable, your current cable is damaged.
