Won't even turn on

Won't even turn on
My beats won't even turn on. Won't charge, nothing. Went to a repairer who said Apple will send a refurb pair if I pay $275. Is there a cheaper way to fix them?

ANSWERS:

What's going on?
I had that same issue and my problem was that the base of the charging cord wasn't all the way in so it wasn't charging all I had to do was push it in and my problem was solved
If the hard reset technique doesn't work, you may be out of luck. I talked extensively with Apple Support about it as well, and they have no further documentation or troubleshooting techniques. Mine would be charged (tested - the battery had a full voltage) and would turn off after only a few seconds of listening at any volume level. The amount of time would vary based on how long it had been after a hard reset.
I had to reboot the beats approx 7X. Disconnect and repair. The beats/connect icon is not on my iPad screen but........the headphones are workin.
