I cant get a buzzing sensation from the on switch&nbsp; but only when when i press the volume switch at the same time - i cant use the companion as there no charge in the battery .&nbsp; any suggestions anyone?</P> Wed, 27 Oct 2021 19:14:31 GMT https://community.sony.ro/t5/z-series/sony-z3-charging-light-goes-on-an-off-in-regular-pattern/m-p/3832498#M123140 tinysally 2021-10-27T19:14:31Z https://community.sony.ro/t5/z-series/sony-z3-charging-light-goes-on-an-off-in-regular-pattern/m-p/3832732#M123141 <P>Hey <a href="https://community.sony.ro/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/870475889">@tinysally</a>, have you tried different chargers?
