  1. OK, so I accidentally stuck my headphones into a USB port on my computer, and then it shut down. It will not turn on at all. I need help to find out how to fix it, please.

  5. Try taking the headphones off, check the port, make sure it's okay. Try turning it on and off, charging it.

  6. So.. You put a 3.5mm headphone jack in your USB port and it won't start? You have more problems than that, if your USB port broke BIOS. Lol

  7. I don't know if its ok. I don't know what to do. It's not doing anything. It doesn't even light up when I charge it.

  8. :lol:

    Sorry. Make sure that any of the tips in the usb port aren't jammed back. If they are, then you're screwed.

  9. Advice given so far should be taken you won't get any better advice.

  10. You also may have fried the battery if the headphones touched a pin.

  12. Depending on the type of computer, (tower or laptop) the USB card might have gotten dislodged from a PCI port.

  13. Possibly taking it to someone more capable than KaW forums combined knowledge would be a better idea, hm?

  14. Could have short circuited the usb port causing a automatic shut down. It is supposed to prevent further damage, but that is not to say further damage could happen. Good luck
