Just had one in with the same issue, this video helped me enormously! I clammed the wrap around shell up and went in through the speaker holes to be able to reach the plugs. This unit had been rolling round in the boot of a car so think that may have caused the plug to come out.
Thank you so much, this video saved my weekend. My speaker wasnt charging but would go on so i gave this video a stab and the other connector behind the one in the video was unplugged. I plugged it in and the charging came back. Thanks again!!!
Very instructional video - thank you!! This was very clear, simple and enjoyable to watch. It would be extremely helpful to know which pins in the battery connector you needed to place your multimeter probes on, in order to check battery voltage?? Many thanks!!
Your vid was a very informative find. I'm on my second with the same on/off issue. Both happened within 4 months of use. Amazon replaced the first no questions asked but the issue remained a mystery. Definitely a JBL QA issue. Now I guess I have to open mine up. But at least I know what to look for. Thanks.
I had the battery unplugged on mine. This happened after the speaker flew off the back of a moving vehicle and the impact disconnected that plug. However there was no structural damage to the speaker itself besides some scratches and scuffs. This speaker is a beast and I vouch for its durability 100% once I connected the plug it was pumping like it never hit pavement at 15-20kmh
Thanks for the video. It would be helpful to say which side of the speaker the motherboard is on. Also, I got mad and just ripped my side panels off. At this point it shouldn't take me an hour to try and turn it when it doesn't want to turn, and everyone else does it like its a baby toy. You'd think they would have some type of ring to help open the side panels. I butchered mine with pliers and a flathead.
Had the same problem. I took off the front speakers then disconnected the mother board plugged it back in and it worked. Way easier than taking the side radiator apart
Cheers for the guide, I'll pop open mine and see whats wrong with it later today. Edit. No luck, either charger, battery or motherboard is dead. Edit. Now it's down to battery or mobo.
Hi Jonny, I can't seem to get the end rings on the sides off of the Boombox. I've turned it anti clockwise, applying much/little pressure but it doesn't move at all. Are there any hidden crews from the inside? Any tips, thanks so much!

I can’t get the rings off no matter what I do the screws are out and I have tried the little rotation and it DOES NOT work it’s been 2 days and still nothing
They can be very tight, it took me a few attempts. Turn it anti-clockwise while pushing it into the ground. Make sure the surface it is on has a good grip. Maybe try on concrete? If you haven't seen yet, look at 8:05 I show how the ring sits in to help you see how it needs to come out.

Do you know if there's any way to repair a Bluetooth connection? It stutters at fairly short distances or if I put my body between the speaker and my phone. I know it should have exceptional range.
I think that would be an issue with signal strength. Have you tried another phone to prove your one is ok? If the antenna in the speaker is plugged in there's a chance it may have disconnected, especially if speaker was dropped.
@@JonnyFix Yes I've tried other devices and it has the same issue. It works fine at a short range. I've taken it to a middle of a field outside and still the same issue. Are you saying there could be a loose connection to the antenna?
I recently purchased a used one and it had two small holes towards the bottom of the front of the speakers when I press in on the subs site hisses out of them why would they be there and I’m also having a lot of trouble getting the end cap off
@@sethpetras6641 Maybe the case has been damaged, causing the holes? The end caps are on very tight. I think I had to put it on concrete to give the end something to grip on while I turned the body. Need to push hard enough for it not to actually rotate on the ground but for the body to rotate as it disengages the end cap..... but if you push too hard it might prevent the disengagement.
Hi I have a problem here with my JBL boom box..the battery chargers well and when I turn on the power button it only last for 5 seconds and then went off again..
Mine bb1 has 2years on her , great speaker, but the power/On button is starting to fail , it's out of warranty, when u press the button to turn off it does it straight away .. I'm confused .. it still goes hard as the day I bought her , after watching this vid , I think I'm doomed.. bummer
Just bought a jbl BOOMBOX 2 you think I’m safe from battery defects ? I’ve seen a lot of posts about some JBL extreme batteries going out after a year 🙁
People like to listen to music so much I'm sure most will run it until it's dead flat. This is bad for LiIon cells. If you can only let it get to 50% before charging you will get a lot longer life than if you run it flat all the time.
Hi Jonny I'm having a issue that when I turn on my JBL Boombox the speakers make some static noise but won't play any music, only when connected to the AC adapter it plays fine. I took it apart and tested it with another battery and still having the same issue. You think it's the whole board that need to be replaced? Or maybe there's a fix to it? Thanks and great day
I’ve been trying really really hard to remove ‘speaker’ end rings by rotating (about 2:30 into video) but no luck either end. Does anyone have any more tips on what I can do? Would really appreciate help. Will not power up or charge. Power brick checks out OK and have tried with another one with no success. Thanks for video - and it’s not intuitive to twist it, so agree 100%. John R
Finally released the wavy rings. Thin pry bar and WD40 all round and worked it around to break the seal. After all ways of gripping with sticky rubber gloves etc. I still couldn’t release it. Then tried the standing it vertically with ring on grippy surface and twist body anti-clockwise, as in video, and it eventually released. Now to find the real problem...
Sorted out the power-on/charging issues. In case it helps anyone I disconnected the 2 ribbon cables from the board (like the one that was off in the video) and reconnected them. One cable goes to the DC power-in and the other to the battery. I think that reseating the cables, even though they looked fine, was sufficient to overcome the problems. Hope this helps someone.
Put some heat on rings, I use hand torch, but you can use heat gun, hair dryer or even dipping it in hot water, it work for me, before I try all pressure couldn’t get it to spin, as soonest I apply heat they came off easily.

Would I be able to ask you a question. My boombox won't charged it got a bit damaged and the charger cord was wrecked but the boombox still worked fine. It's now going flat (red flashing light) but the charger I brought doesn't seem to be working. Do you think maybe the charger cord disconnected ?
Hard to make a guess on these things. Need to test the charger plug to see if there's voltage there, if not it's probably the charger or the cable from it, if so then check the socket in the boombox or the charging circuit.
I spent a while trying to get it off, then I saw a comment saying to use a heat gun or a hairdryer. I used a little old hairdryer for a couple of minutes then all of a sudden they came off fine! :)
I used my wife’s hairdryer and nothing. Went to Walmart and bought a Wagner heat gun. A few minutes it was hot to the touch and it came right off. I would have bet money that it was glued on but it was not. I have tile floors and I have to put all of my weight on it and turned counter clockwise and it came off using force.
If it doesn't turn on you can try another charger to prove it's not your one. If it does turn on you may need a new battery. I can't remember the battery voltage when full but if you have a way to test the battery and you have 0 volts then you need a new battery, if less than 7 volts then it might need to be plugged in for some time before it shows charging and if no change after a couple hours or if already > 8volts then maybe a fault in the charging circuit. Good luck!
@@JonnyFix thanks bro, can you leave me a link where can I buy this or get this done? I just want more backup in boombox as I keep carrying it outdoors and after a year now it is not giving good backup
@@JonnyFix I am thinking to take a power bank and try to power my boom box through it for longer performance, will figure out something. But thanks allot for your kind response.👍
They are very tight. Push the side down on a surface with some grip and twist anti clockwise. It moves away from the body when it rotates so if you push too hard it might not rotate either.

I think if you push down too hard while turning it can work against you as the ring comes away from the case as it turns so it's a balance between force and grip of the ring to the surface it's on.

Hi, I replaced my battery, and I left it on charge for about 8 hours now also charging at 8 volts but wont charge more than the first light please help
It might have been poorly taken care of, given by the looks of the logo, it must have surely been dropped, as for your Boombox, i tend to believe you've been unlucky in getting a faulty one or something like that, i have my Boombox for nearly three years now and it still performs great overall (sound wise, battery wise, etc), i have been listening to it for over two years on an average of 5 hours a day (was working in a warehouse), so far i have nothing to complain, great quality speaker.
I cant decide between xtreme 2 and the first boombox,the price difference in my country is only around 100eur . Ive tried the boombox and it just blows the xtreme 2 out of the water for me.But ive noticed that a lot of people get that hissing sound on low sound/battery level on the boombox. Can somebody help ?
All these resets and stuff dont really work. The problem is that your software is outdated. I just figured this out. You should download the jbl app on your phone and update your speaker. This fixes the problem!
Mi bosina jbl boombox .talves me dura 3 minutos con la mitad de volumen y ase un ruido y se apaga .no se si comprar otra bateria o desarmarla pero antes si me tardaba la carga ahora no. I marca que esta bien cargada .pero se apaga muy rapido y no aguanta aun estando conectada.con el cargador. Saludos desde gautemala city . Espero me ayuden

My boom box wont turn on if you look closely the light next to the power button flashes quickly but very dim, if you press the power button multiple times it will turn on again. Never dropped and this is my second one first returned for same issue
@@JonnyFix It doesnt feel damaged and after futher research other people have the same issue, turns on first time plugged in but on battery have to press it many times no posted fix found
@@aidanlalljee3189 oh really I just keep going to the local store and getting a new one, happens about every 3-4 months and this will be my Fourth. It's really good because you get a brand no speaker no questions asked and it resets my warranty haha
We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning ruclips.net/user/postUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.
I've got a BOOMBOX open now. Was going to order a battery but I want to verify first. The charger is putting 20v into the main board but how can I confirm that the right voltage is coming out of the 8-pin battery connector. With the battery UNPLUGGED there is NO voltage across the red/black wires and about 2.8v across the Blue/white. Anybody know what to look for at the 8-pin connector?
If I had to guess I think the blue/white are for temperature sensing. If there's nothing on red/black the battery has probably shut down from being discharged too low (or some other failure). If you have an adjustable power supply try applying a voltage with a current limit of about 200mA across it while unplugged from the board and see if it wakes up the battery, if you can't limit the current put an ammeter in series and wind the voltage up until you see about that much. If this works then it's deeply discharged so keep increasing voltage to maintain that current until you hit about 6 or 7V. If a voltage remains on the terminals at that point you might be able to plug it back in and let the system charge it the rest of the way. On the other hand if it doesn't draw any current up to 8V you may need that new battery.
@@JonnyFix I'm following the battery check procedure just as you laid it out. I nursed the the power supply up to 7 volts while staying under 200ma. I left it for 30 mins. The battery now holds a 6.5v charge. If I plug it back into the boom box (w/charger unplugged) it still will not turn on. I know the 20v power supply is good and I see 20v going into the motherboard. The problem then appears to be in the "motherboard". Correct?
@@mikeskory3157 that might still be too low to turn on. When plugged in does the charger continue to charge it? If not I'd manually charge it up to 7.6v then try again. You should be ok to charge at 500ma now. I think maximum charge is 8.4v, you want to ensure you don't exceed this at the battery terminals. It will be lower at the battery than at the power supply due to a drop in the wires.
I don't want to have to do all this just to get my speaker to work! I just got it likes two months ago and it decides to take a dumb on me. Total waste of money. So frustrated right now
these speakers are great but jbl qa really needs to improve. $500 for a speaker that will have alot of issues after a year or two of normal use is not ok
@@JonnyFix I wasn't having a go at your video. I enjoy seeing how others deal with unknowns. I was referring to your initial suspicion about the plug being detached as I can relate to that occasional feeling of deflation when a repair turns out to be 'too simple'. You certainly still fixed it and delayed another item going to landfill which is commendable.

Can you help me my jbl boombox battery indicator does not flash when I
Plug it in atm it is at 60% and works but cannot charge thx
do u have a video on how to help the side speakers sound come out? right now, the woofer sound is not full. in fact the sound is weak. the only clear sound are the front speakers
I had the exact same problem solved it in an hour thanks for the vid
is it doing anything or showing anyyhing while its connected only to dc
and battery unplugged
Hey i have a question my boombox just stopped working one day no light no anything no charging so i bought a replacement battery and charged fully i did notice that
when the last light i think is the 5th one never came solid it always stayed blinking so i unplugged the charger and it said it was full ok i started playing the boombox when it was by 2 lights it turned off and i went to charge and a single red light was flashing but it wont charge it just stays 1 red light flashing any ideas ?🙏
Sorry not sure. It's definitely the right power adapter? If you know someone else with one you could borrow to rule it out.
Where can I get a spare speaker
It's a bugger when you think you have a challenge, then it's too dam easy.
Never mind, you fixed the plastic fantastic heap of crap :-D
i noticed no hotglue on the connector, so it backed out with the vibration and being chucked around a lot.
No spare screws to keep, that's the best part of the repair :)
Most stuff I get lately has been boringly easy

It will damage other component or not?

They can be very tight, it took me a few attempts. Turn it anti-clockwise while pushing it into the ground. Make sure the surface it is on has a good grip. Maybe try on concrete? If you haven't seen yet, look at 8:05 I show how the ring sits in to help you see how it needs to come out.

Do you know if there's any way to repair a Bluetooth connection? It stutters at fairly short distances or if I put my body between the speaker and my phone. I know it should have exceptional range.
I think that would be an issue with signal strength. Have you tried another phone to prove your one is ok? If the antenna in the speaker is plugged in there's a chance it may have disconnected, especially if speaker was dropped.
@@JonnyFix Yes I've tried other devices and it has the same issue. It works fine at a short range. I've taken it to a middle of a field outside and still the same issue. Are you saying there could be a loose connection to the antenna?
@@brycemckamey9328 It's definitely something you want to investigate.
im having trouble opening the side part it wont turn counter clockwise
I recently purchased a used one and it had two small holes towards the bottom of the front of the speakers when I press in on the subs site hisses out of them why would they be there and I’m also having a lot of trouble getting the end cap off
Please help someone
@@sethpetras6641 Maybe the case has been damaged, causing the holes? The end caps are on very tight. I think I had to put it on concrete to give the end something to grip on while I turned the body. Need to push hard enough for it not to actually rotate on the ground but for the body to rotate as it disengages the end cap..... but if you push too hard it might prevent the disengagement.
Sound on mine goes loud then low maybe the bass is gone then again i play full volume
Hi
I have a problem here with my JBL boom box..the battery chargers well and when I turn on the power button it only last for 5 seconds and then went off again..
have not been able to get rings off no matter how much pressure i add..
If everyone doesn’t know JBL speakers have a security mode but hold certain buttons in sequence
For 2 days now I have a feeling that my boombox 1 is less louder than before...have somebody any guesses what happened?
Same situation I facing at present how I fix it
Need to update the firmware by downloading jbl mobile apps
How to resolve buzzing sounds on low volume.
My charging led don't work and so do the inside and outside too
Mine bb1 has 2years on her , great speaker, but the power/On button is starting to fail , it's out of warranty, when u press the button to turn off it does it straight away .. I'm confused .. it still goes hard as the day I bought her , after watching this vid , I think I'm doomed.. bummer
Just bought a jbl BOOMBOX 2 you think I’m safe from battery defects ? I’ve seen a lot of posts about some JBL extreme batteries going out after a year 🙁
People like to listen to music so much I'm sure most will run it until it's dead flat. This is bad for LiIon cells. If you can only let it get to 50% before charging you will get a lot longer life than if you run it flat all the time.
@@JonnyFix If I dont need to use it on battery can I leave plugged in all the time? will that prolonged the life of battery?
@@darioantunes1239 Multiple charge / discharge cycles is what depletes a batteries capacity over time so in theory yes.
Hi Jonny
I'm having a issue that when I turn on my JBL Boombox the speakers make some static noise but won't play any music, only when connected to the AC adapter it plays fine. I took it apart and tested it with another battery and still having the same issue.
You think it's the whole board that need to be replaced? Or maybe there's a fix to it?
Thanks and great day
It will be on the board and should be fixable but you'll need to figure out why it's happening. That is a strange problem so no quick answer.
@@JonnyFix darn it. Do you have any service for me to ship it to you?
@@jxtreme586 I do not sorry.
@@JonnyFix Okay. Thank you
I’ve been trying really really hard to remove ‘speaker’ end rings by rotating (about 2:30 into video) but no luck either end. Does anyone have any more tips on what I can do? Would really appreciate help. Will not power up or charge. Power brick checks out OK and have tried with another one with no success. Thanks for video - and it’s not intuitive to twist it, so agree 100%.
John R
Finally released the wavy rings. Thin pry bar and WD40 all round and worked it around to break the seal. After all ways of gripping with sticky rubber gloves etc. I still couldn’t release it. Then tried the standing it vertically with ring on grippy surface and twist body anti-clockwise, as in video, and it eventually released. Now to find the real problem...
Sorted out the power-on/charging issues. In case it helps anyone I disconnected the 2 ribbon cables from the board (like the one that was off in the video) and reconnected them. One cable goes to the DC power-in and the other to the battery. I think that reseating the cables, even though they looked fine, was sufficient to overcome the problems. Hope this helps someone.
Put some heat on rings, I use hand torch, but you can use heat gun, hair dryer or even dipping it in hot water, it work for me, before I try all pressure couldn’t get it to spin, as soonest I apply heat they came off easily.

I have a boombox 1 if i turn it on it turns of seconds later
My speaker doesn’t play the USB anymore for some reason, it still plays Bluetooth though
Would I be able to ask you a question. My boombox won't charged it got a bit damaged and the charger cord was wrecked but the boombox still worked fine. It's now going flat (red flashing light) but the charger I brought doesn't seem to be working. Do you think maybe the charger cord disconnected ?
Hard to make a guess on these things. Need to test the charger plug to see if there's voltage there, if not it's probably the charger or the cable from it, if so then check the socket in the boombox or the charging circuit.
Mine too
Its bs that no one actually shows the struggle to take off the handle those end caps are the worst
It’s easier pushing down with a basketball 🏀
I was able to get them off ny sliding a screwdriver into it and wiggle it out
I spent a while trying to get it off, then I saw a comment saying to use a heat gun or a hairdryer. I used a little old hairdryer for a couple of minutes then all of a sudden they came off fine! :)
@@demestresandokaihow? I have tried everything including heat and it won’t budge
I used my wife’s hairdryer and nothing. Went to Walmart and bought a Wagner heat gun. A few minutes it was hot to the touch and it came right off. I would have bet money that it was glued on but it was not. I have tile floors and I have to put all of my weight on it and turned counter clockwise and it came off using force.
Great Day. What size screwdrivers did you use? Please advise.
#2 or 3 philips I think
I connect the charger and it won't charge help please
If it doesn't turn on you can try another charger to prove it's not your one. If it does turn on you may need a new battery. I can't remember the battery voltage when full but if you have a way to test the battery and you have 0 volts then you need a new battery, if less than 7 volts then it might need to be plugged in for some time before it shows charging and if no change after a couple hours or if already > 8volts then maybe a fault in the charging circuit. Good luck!
@JhonnyFix can you tell me if I can upgrade my boombox battery to 20k or 30k mah battery?
Sure but remember it will take longer to charge
@@JonnyFix thanks bro, can you leave me a link where can I buy this or get this done? I just want more backup in boombox as I keep carrying it outdoors and after a year now it is not giving good backup
@@affanaffu Sorry, I have no idea. I assumed you were making your own larger battery.
@@JonnyFix I am thinking to take a power bank and try to power my boom box through it for longer performance, will figure out something.
But thanks allot for your kind response.👍
The sides do not open how i get them open
They are very tight. Push the side down on a surface with some grip and twist anti clockwise. It moves away from the body when it rotates so if you push too hard it might not rotate either.

Is same thing to xtreme 2
That battery is a li-ion battery in 2S 2P? configuration and the maximum voltage is 8.4V (4.2V per cell).
why from my jbl boombox sound comming just from one side? and its like that Seans I get it :(
Because the speakers are disconnected
When i got the boombox on his side and i turn left, the ring is not gonna move
I think if you push down too hard while turning it can work against you as the ring comes away from the case as it turns so it's a balance between force and grip of the ring to the surface it's on.
@@JonnyFix I felt like I had to push down fairly hard to get it started. Something could have spilled into the one I'm working on...or dropped...

Como que vc fez para retirar as tampas laterais eu não consegui
Hi, I replaced my battery, and I left it on charge for about 8 hours now also charging at 8 volts but wont charge more than the first light please help
Sorry hard to say without looking at it.
Your speaker looks like a year old. Am i right? Because i have mine for about a month and issues starting to show up
I don't know the age, it belongs to someone else.
It might have been poorly taken care of, given by the looks of the logo, it must have surely been dropped, as for your Boombox, i tend to believe you've been unlucky in getting a faulty one or something like that, i have my Boombox for nearly three years now and it still performs great overall (sound wise, battery wise, etc), i have been listening to it for over two years on an average of 5 hours a day (was working in a warehouse), so far i have nothing to complain, great quality speaker.
@@Predatorfury Awesome! This was for someone else, I also think it was dropped pretty hard.
I cant decide between xtreme 2 and the first boombox,the price difference in my country is only around 100eur . Ive tried the boombox and it just blows the xtreme 2 out of the water for me.But ive noticed that a lot of people get that hissing sound on low sound/battery level on the boombox. Can somebody help ?
Solution: charge the boomboz
Cuz the boombox has 2 usbs so the batterys dead
All these resets and stuff dont really work. The problem is that your software is outdated. I just figured this out. You should download the jbl app on your phone and update your speaker. This fixes the problem!
you have to connect your speaker via bluetooth to do it. How to connect it if the speaker doesnt turn on. I have this problem

My boom box wont turn on if you look closely the light next to the power button flashes quickly but very dim, if you press the power button multiple times it will turn on again. Never dropped and this is my second one first returned for same issue
That is strange, I would be looking at the power button itself in case it is damaged somehow.
@@JonnyFix It doesnt feel damaged and after futher research other people have the same issue, turns on first time plugged in but on battery have to press it many times no posted fix found
@@henrybrooks321 charging circuit might be damaged. Really need to take some measurements and figure out what is happening.

@@aidanlalljee3189 oh really I just keep going to the local store and getting a new one, happens about every 3-4 months and this will be my Fourth. It's really good because you get a brand no speaker no questions asked and it resets my warranty haha
We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning ruclips.net/user/postUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.
I've got a BOOMBOX open now. Was going to order a battery but I want to verify first. The charger is putting 20v into the main board but how can I confirm that the right voltage is coming out of the 8-pin battery connector. With the battery UNPLUGGED there is NO voltage across the red/black wires and about 2.8v across the Blue/white. Anybody know what to look for at the 8-pin connector?
If I had to guess I think the blue/white are for temperature sensing. If there's nothing on red/black the battery has probably shut down from being discharged too low (or some other failure). If you have an adjustable power supply try applying a voltage with a current limit of about 200mA across it while unplugged from the board and see if it wakes up the battery, if you can't limit the current put an ammeter in series and wind the voltage up until you see about that much. If this works then it's deeply discharged so keep increasing voltage to maintain that current until you hit about 6 or 7V. If a voltage remains on the terminals at that point you might be able to plug it back in and let the system charge it the rest of the way. On the other hand if it doesn't draw any current up to 8V you may need that new battery.
@@JonnyFix I'm following the battery check procedure just as you laid it out. I nursed the the power supply up to 7 volts while staying under 200ma. I left it for 30 mins. The battery now holds a 6.5v charge. If I plug it back into the boom box (w/charger unplugged) it still will not turn on. I know the 20v power supply is good and I see 20v going into the motherboard. The problem then appears to be in the "motherboard". Correct?
@@mikeskory3157 that might still be too low to turn on. When plugged in does the charger continue to charge it? If not I'd manually charge it up to 7.6v then try again. You should be ok to charge at 500ma now. I think maximum charge is 8.4v, you want to ensure you don't exceed this at the battery terminals. It will be lower at the battery than at the power supply due to a drop in the wires.
Same problem thank you
