  1. SONY WH-1000XM3 Teardown, Remove ear cushion: step 1, image 1 of 1
    • Start from the left side. Remove the ear cushion.

    • Personally I start from the up-right side.

  2. SONY WH-1000XM3 Teardown, Remove screws and open up: step 2, image 1 of 3 SONY WH-1000XM3 Teardown, Remove screws and open up: step 2, image 2 of 3 SONY WH-1000XM3 Teardown, Remove screws and open up: step 2, image 3 of 3
    • Remove all the screws, there are 5 short ones on the upper level and 4 long ones on the bottom.

    • Carefully open the back cover you can see the NFC antenna connects to the mainboard.

    • It seems that the wires tangled under the sticker cause the problem. I tried to sort them a bit and the power button come back alive.

Thank you very much leonw87. My headphones are working again thanks to your instructions. I changed the battery first, unfortunately without success.

After I sorted the cables on the board a bit, I stuck a tape over the connection points so that they are better fixed.

Great job from you.
