Trying to replace power button on PCB
The power button attached to the pcb is now working once in a blue moon. Instead of powering it off and charging the battery with the base station, I just charge it with a cable while the headset is still on. If anyone knows which two connections I can short to bypass messing with the power button for an hour or how to replace the power button entirely, I would be very grateful.
At the very least, I know the batteries work. I've tested them with a multimeter and they show proper voltage and last about 15 hours, and work without error when I get the headset to power on. I've also tested the wires that go from the hot-swappable battery pins to the pcb, and they are showing very similar voltage. I've also tried leaving the battery disconnected for about an hour and then plugging it back in and trying the button which worked once, but im not sure if that is a fluke or not. Nothing on the pcb looks broken or damaged either.

With the headphones disassembled, have you tried operating the button directly? Mechanical switches, being subject to wear, do occasionally wear out or fail. You might try some electronics parts cleaner on it; if it's built up some gunk inside that might help. Otherwise, post a picture of the switch and we'll see if we can help you figure out how to replace it and/or bypass it.

@dadibrokeit Thanks for the reply. I've just attached pictures of the button and a top down of the pcb. I tried just pressing the button directly after trying to clean the internals with some isopropyl alcohol but no luck. Let me know if you have any other questions
