How to Fix B&O A9 Touch Panel Malfunction Issues – Troubleshooting Guide

Seriously, this is driving me nuts! The volume control panel at the top just decided to quit on me out of nowhere—no matter how much I poke or swipe, it’s completely dead. I usually control it through my phone, so I wouldn’t even have noticed if I hadn’t randomly tried adjusting it manually the other day.

How to Fix B&O A9 Touch Panel Malfunction Issues – Troubleshooting Guide

I’ve tried every trick in the book—power cycling, factory reset—you name it, nothing works. The two-year store warranty from the Taobao seller expired ages ago. When I reached out to the official customer support, guess what? This brand doesn’t even offer nationwide coverage—just store warranties that vary between two and three years depending on the shop.

The seller quoted me around 3k for repairs and basically told me to live with it. I even went through the hassle of swapping its faceplate for a festive one, secretly hoping for some miracle fix—no such luck!
