Bose Soundlink Mini (Does Not Charge) (How-To Reset) Can I Fix It? 

I had same exact issue with my device, did what you said and it’s changing now ,June 30 . Thanks 🙏 for the video

very interesting and inspiering to see how your content has changed from this to the latest, very good job, you are awesome dude

Wow! What an awesome video. I was getting ready to take it to someone to see if they could repair it! I used to very single charging cable I could find. Finally I found the right one. You are awesome. Many thanks!

My Bose has been 'broken' for about 3 years till i saw this video, thank you!!

Great video! Just had a similar experience with a Bose Soundlink Mini my girlfriend had around but hadn't used in years. Similar to you, I plugged in a AC cable but didn't have any lights showing up like yours did. However, I was using the power supply from my Logitech Steering wheel, which was 24volts, to no luck! After you said you had picked up your lower voltage router PSU, I ran and grabbed a spare I had under my bed and hey presto! Instant lights and seems to be working! Moral of the story, make sure you have the correct voltage power supply, more powerful ones will not work at all (from my experience).

Thank you so much for this video. Thought that it was the end of my mini sound system. Would not charge. Pressed the Reset button and now back in working condition.

Hi Steve. Having stumbled across your channel recently, I viewed and enjoyed the one the algorithm offered. I subscribed immediately as this is just the kind of quirky nonsense that appeals to me. I thought I’d go back and see where it all started. We’ll, you have come on, haven’t you! I love the humour and self-depreciation. I can now waste hours of my spare time smiling and chuckling. (I wish I had your level of skill by the way).

Hey I have this same old speaker wouldn't charge anymore. Did the reset and it's working again! Thank you! I love this little speaker!

So, this is were it all started, cool. Stay awesome.

I have seen so many Videos from you in the last days. A NICE channel so far. Show the world that that you never give up and improve new skills. I really like your way of doing your Stuff.

Was ready to throw mine in the bin, until a came across this video. Had no idea that all I needed to do was to reset the thing. Thanks

Great! I'm the world's worst at using 'instructions' so frequently find such issues difficult to remedy. I've learned that Bose Sound Link mini can require resetting since finding mine wouldn't charge (re-charge). Also, I now use the charger power in plug directly into the speaker - not the base and it seems to work fine now. Regards! MickFromHooe.

Thanks for sharing. It worked! I got the same problem and about to find someone to fix it. I try multiple adapters and finally it work with 12V 4A.

Was watching your newer vids and after each one I thought: Just a little bit, a little bit more. It might be that, you know what I'm looking for.

Your knickers. Bahahaha. Just found you few days ago. Ex pat (Essex boy) nova Scotia strong. Really enjoying the vids and your evolution. Dry, very dry. Love it. Thanks for doing what you do.

How humble to do so much…love your personality

Thank you for the video. As you can see you don't need to replace the battery to repair the bose soundlink mini!!! Just plug in to the side directly a charger with 12V 1Amp and IT WILL start to charge!!!! If not take the battery out and reinsert it and try again!!! IT WORKS!!! Congrats! I just save you $30 replacement battery and time. Your welcome.

Lets gooo, imma watch all ur old shit. cant wait to see how the story unfolds! GET IN

Holding down the mute button worked! Tysm, you saved me buying a new one today!

Thanks heaps Steve. My unit is also charging after a 10-second reset. One is led to ask the obvious question: why does the unit need to be reset? Is this a function Bose designed-in to protect the charger &/or battery from damage in an overheating scenario, when charging via mains power??

These are great speakers. Well done for repairing it.

It works! Glad i found this video. Changed new battery and I have used different adaptor @ 1 amp. Bose charger doesn’t work even with new battery but the speaker works fine. Thanks

Thought I’d start from the beginning 👍🏻

Tyyyy!!!! I have sound link mini 2! Mine stopped charging yesterday! Tried resetting and it seemed to start recharge again!!!

Oh and I have now labeled the correct charger. Again many thanks.

You saved my favorite OG Mini- thanks man!!!

Brilliant Steve. I've got into this sort of thing because u and recently brought one of these to repair with the same problem 👍

I bought a similar one and apparently the problem is usually the USB port, however with the 12V 2amp transformer works well!

And the saga begins....

Thanks for the video. I have a soundlink mini 2 with red light flashing which has old usb input on side. Tried updating but still the same. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Thanks, saved me throwing it away!

When the battery is color orange you need to charge it ? Or orange color is about 50% battery capacity?

Great video. I've got a Soundlink 2, good bit of kit.

Hi I’ve got the Bose soundlink 2 when I go onto Bose updater it doesn’t go to advanced or anything. Just states version 1.1.4 then under that it says. Prevent premature entry into battery shipping mode. But won’t let me do anything Can you please help

1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth

I’ve basically binged all your videos to date, and I enjoy the hell out of them, my wife as well. Would love to see you do more television sets, lcd, plasma. Keep up with the great content as well

You never know how it will be fixed until you‘ve fixed it

I had to replace the battery on mine because it would not hold a charge anymore. The new battery would not work since. I just reset it and it is charging and I was able to sync it to my phone. Thank you

I am having one that I fixed after many attempts. It couldn't power on the amplifier, so no sound. Believe that other similar symptoms are related to it. The ribbon connector on I/O board was oxydated. This is the small board you attached the power supply, sound input etc. Just carefully remove the back mesh and the green board is well exposed. The white ribbon connector is taped with gray sponge. R

So 12v 1a is enough? I have a 12 2.5a atm, is that too much?

THANKS! My issue is fixed!

You're way way better than Vince

I had the same problem with my speaker! When I turn it on though the battery symbol disappears but it still works. Is this okay? Thank you so much for your video, great help with step by step!

Same here, bought a faulty soundlink mini one that would not charge. But all is working when i connected a 12V adapter.

Normally you find the item is already up to date, and the only way around this is to cut the wires linking the battery to to the electronic board inside and re solder them in on the replacement battery if you can find a decent one , if not it’ll end up like any other battery powered item .In the bin!

my BOSE SOUNDLINK MINI doesnt charge ..I didnt use for past few weeks ..only RED BLINKING when i attached the charging plug///what will I do.its 7-8 years already this blutooth speaker

The orange light means it is charging. Once it is done charging the light turns green.

Thanks it works.

Thanks so so very much!!! It worked out great!!!!

I bought battery in amazon and it didnot solve my problem :( should i give up?

Great video. I like the song from you, could you may please tell me the name? Thanks a lot.

Battery replacement very easy to do

I am in new Delhi. My mini Bose it's charing but after connecting for a second it's stops leaving bt, speaker and u lights remain on. Share mob no of ur authorise repair shop

If you have the Mini 1 the USB is only for software not charging, you need 12 volt at cradle or side jack

How they seal like that? If i know i will not buy one.

Thank you :) this helped me a lot :)

Hola el mío si carga pero ya intenté con lo del silencio pero no me funcionó, el mío lo que tiene es que enciende todos los botones encienden pero no me agarra :( podrías ayudarme ?

Mine flashes yellow on charge but when I press the on button nothing happens

bruh how do you get it to charge with the usb

Just like common people like you and me we’ll be builders for eternity each is given a bag of tools a shapeless mask and a bag of tools

You use the bluetooth in bose then to your cp

thank you, You could have made this video 5 min. if you just went to the reset section.

Im using the original adaptor of soundlink mini , 12 volts with 0.83 amps but still red blinking not charging. Done reset but still not working.😔

what if the red light didnt blink

Thanks!

I Start from de beggining. Fordwards.. not backwards :D

Blinking orange means charging...

can you tell me? what is the name of IC? please tell me argent. bose soundlike mini

Why didn't you read the paperwork that came with it?

Mine still did not work

mine is stuck on red when i charged it. helpppp

I don't have a mute button on mine...

Junk. No charging in one month. I had to go back to my jbl that wasn't charged for 6month.

Research = Read the instructions

I’m just going to say this once. I’m going on a journey. Feel free to join.

You had nothing to fix, i was expecting to fix something....

Put new battery in

Mine keeps blinking red, I have done all sort, yet still not working.

This guy knows less than Me

Obviously there is a software update to fix this issue…

Just some constructive criticism, your intro is terribly slow and you are so slow in getting to the fix. Get to the point on a fix it video, people aren’t here for stories and entertainment

it work after update and aafter few minutes of playing aging it goes to battry shipping mode ,? whats the reason? some one plz help me 🥲

Thanks. Reset using .o. seems to have worked.
