I fixed it 👍 🚀
Taking it apart war surprisingly easy.
Tested the headset with labpower ... it's fine.
Tested the battery with electric load .. it's also fine, in quite good shape actually.
So what was the problem? Maybe that I dropped it 😆 which might have dislodged the battery and ripped off the solder-connection?
Anyway, it's fixed now and I get to keep my neck-headset.
Happily testing with recently release album 🤘 😃

Getting a new embedded platform's toolchain working can be one of the most frustrating parts of development—especially when you just want to start writing code. The JL JieLi AC696N is a popular chip for Bluetooth audio applications, but the initial Windows environment setup has a few quirks. Here's a clean, verified process to get from zero to compile.

Sometimes the best way to understand a new embedded platform is to see what it can do before writing any code. The JL JieLi AC696N development board ships with a factory demo that showcases its complete multimedia capabilities in under five minutes.
Whether you're evaluating the platform for a project or just want a quick hands-on, this is the fastest way to see what the AC696N can do. Next up in this series: adding custom files to the project.
A good pin reference is like a map for hardware development. Here's a verified pin mapping for the JL JieLi AC6966B (AC696N series) development board, straight from actual hardware testing.
Whether you're reviewing schematics, bringing up a custom board, or debugging firmware, having this reference handy saves hours of probing and tracing.

The JL JieLi AC696N series continues to be a compelling choice for high-volume, cost-sensitive Bluetooth audio applications. Looking at the AC6966B-QFN32 development board, which is a prime example of balancing features and BOM cost.
The dual-mode Bluetooth (Classic + BLE) also enables seamless APP control via BLE transparent transmission, a key feature for IoT-enabled devices.
