    Wireless mic transmitter stopped powering on. Installed fresh batteries but nothing lights up. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,

    Ron

    Hello Ron and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

    Are the batteries rechargeable?

    Some rechargeable, after a bit of use, just don’t have the voltage to fire up some devices.

    With nothing more than that very basic symptom, it could be any number of things.
    When was it working last time? How long ago?
    Were the batteries left in? Is there any sign of battery leakage and/or corrosion?

    Using Duracell Procell AA alkaline batteries. Put in a fresh set. Same results.

    Was working 3 or 4 days ago. No battery leakage. I opened it up and no signs of damage. My guess is either board is fried or cold solder joint. Nothing obvious.

    I know this is an old post. I’m having the same issues that you had.

    Did you find out what was wrong with the Soney UTX-b03?

    I have two sets of them. One set works and the other will not turn on. Both the transmitter and the reciever.

    I only used them 3 times over the last two years.
