BRIK Charger Not Working: Troubleshoot Yourself

One beautiful morning, you find that you BRIK charger have stopped working. Before you register for a replacement, there are a few things that you can try to get your charger in a working condition. Make sure to check the JUUL contacts or the contacts on the BRIK. There is a high possibility that they may have become dirty. If that is the situation, then soak a q-tip on a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. While cleaning the bottom of the JUUL, you need to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use the q-tip to sweep the two contacts at the bottom of the channel.

Contemporary BRIK charger users are troubled with a frequent problem. After a few months or weeks of use, the BRIK charger may exhibit unpredictable and undesirable anomalies. Most of the times people find themselves in a state of utter confusion. They spend several minutes shaking the charger like a mad man in a desperate attempt to make it work again. If you find that your BRIK charger is not working you need to check the small metal contacts. The chances are that gunk has accumulated on the surface. A gunk build-up inhibits the flow of electricity. While you shake your BRIK charger back and forth, you may find a clean contact point. However, if the gunk build up is excessive then jiggling will not do the job for you.

Follow the under mentioned steps to clean the contacts deep inside:

Open up the charger. You need to use a small flat screwdriver for prying the charger’s bottom piece.

Proceed by removing the guts. You will see a circuit board inside the housing and a magnet pair. You need to set the magnet aside. Make sure to use flush cutters. It will snip through the posts of plastic retainer holding the PCB and shell together.

Clean the PCB. You can use dish soap and distilled water to fill your ultrasonic cleaner. Put this PCB into the cleansing bath. Let it clean for 3 to 10 minutes.
You have to make sure that soap residues are not leftover. So rinse it thoroughly.

Use a paper towel to dry it all out. You can use isopropyl alcohol to dry and clean it further.

Finally, reassemble your charger and do not forget to affix the magnet.

Once you are done your charger will be as good as a new one. You can use the ultrasonic if you find the disassembling hectic. You can drop the whole thing in ultrasonic. However, you have to be patient as it will take longer to dry. For best results, give it an entire day to out moisture.
