BOSE SOUNDLINK COLOR II FIX!! *NOT POWERING ON * NOT CHARGING*
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Instructions:
1) connect the speaker to power
2) press and hold the multifunction button for 10 seconds...keep holding down the button but remove the power/charge cord after the 10 seconds
3) release the multifunction button
4) reconnect to power
In May I bought my Soundlink Color 2, worked great until August and then when I would charge it nothing would happen. No power, and no charge light indicators. I searched on RUclips, found nothing, then went to Google and found this from someone who works at Bose:
Let's reboot the system's processor. Even though its powered off, the system maintains a level of standby power. This removes all power and reboots the system.
Connect the speaker to power again. Press and hold the Multi-function button for 10 seconds. While continuing to hold the button, unplug the speaker from power. Then release the Multi-function button.
Re-connect it to power.
We understand you made sure the software was up-to-date. Could you confirm you did it through a computer and checked with the Bose updater found here? (Link: btu.bose.com)
I don't think the suggestion worked for me so I kept reading and someone suggested the same thing BUT instead of holding down the Multi-function button hold down the Power button, following the same steps above.
All the sudden my charging light came on!! Bam!!
HALF A MILLION PEOPLE SAW THIS MEANS THEY HAVE SUFFERED. BOSE NEEDS TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE ISSUE.
I tried my own idea first which was to throw the speaker against the wall and curse at the heavens in disgust. No luck, Then I tried YOUR idea and it's working good as new! Thanks!!!
Henry Drake 😂
I'm with you on that method didn't work sadly
It's what I'm about to try cause nothing fucking works
Elizabeth Robert You’re amazing and wonderful! Great instructions! Thanks so very very much!
Ahahaa
Saved me from depression and anger and now I can blast the tunes! Thanks
Hahahaha I can relate lol 😂
Great advice! Thank you. Tried holding power button down for 20 seconds on my Sony wireless speaker while plugged up to power source. I unplugged while still holding power button down next plugged back in and now she's good to go. Hallelujah! It pays to keep researching until you find the solution. Thanks for uploading this.
Would be really nice if products just worked these days... manufacturing has really gone to sh*t in the past few years. Hope this works for me! I use my bose speaker regularly
Did it work for you?
@@tammy9702It worked with the play/pause button (multifuncion). Press and hold for 20 seconds ; unplug ; plug into the outlet and two seconds later it started to charge.
Thank you so much! I did everything you said about 6 times and it is finally working. You are definitely a lifesaver because you saved my insanity during this coronavirus epidemic. I can finally listen to music again.
I had the same problem, thanks a lot!! It worked!! Mine didn’t charge, and when I plugged it in, the yellow light appeared but then stopped, and three lights flashed, on/off Bluetooth and aux.
I did the 10 second three dot button then disconnect from power while pushing the button and then plug it in again without stoping pushing. It worked perfectly, it have never happened and I have two months with my sound link color 2!
lechuzazul59 many thanks it works, I had the same problem as yours 👍
Same!! :)
Thought I’d have to go a week without my precious blue tooth speaker. You’ve helped bring it back from the dead. Thank you!
It's so ridiculous that all of us are having the same issue. What a dumb setting to put on a speaker-_- lol
Thank you for the video🖤! I had to try it multiple times but it finally worked☺️
Thanks for the video. It worked for me.
The 10 seconds holding the multifunction button did not work until I connect the speaker to my PC. When I connect the speaker to the PC the computer identified the speaker and installed some drivers automatically. After that the speaker came back alive again.
So to recover from this I recommend to connect to the computer, not to a charger.
Armando Lacerda thank you so much for this, I was afraid I was going to have to give up hope on the speaker forever
Worked for me--- still hugely, HUGELY unimpressed with how janky this POS is.
As we used to day in the 80s-- want no highs and lows? Choose Bose.
Try this it worked for me. Plug the speaker to charger. Press ...(three dots) or Aux and -volume simultaneously for 10 seconds. It will reset all paired devices. Then press power button to start. I hope this helps.
complete life saver, the multifunction button solution was what booted mine up, i plugged it into my MacBook and held it for 10 seconds and while it was still plugged in it made the start up sound and started charging again
The only youtuber that made my Boss work again, it took me more than 10 times to make it work, but finally, more than 3 years without work and now is working.
after 10 times of trying this method it worked...woahhh save me a lot, thank you so much.
I tried both, holding down the multi and power button neither worked. I then went to my PC, downloaded the Bose update app, followed the instructions and it worked. Thanks for saving my friend the money of replacing it. He was going to throw the speaker away. I just love RUclips! Thanks again!
A BIG THANK YOU...at first I tried and gave up but then I read the comments and realised there was not a single negative comment amongst hundreds...so then I tried and tried and tried again...voila...it worked like magic. You rock ER. 🙏
Jivan, I really appreciate your contribution. I gave this soundlink horn colored ll to my sister, she told me that it stopped working for a few months. but now that I'm in Monterrey, Mexico and I saw your video, I've been able to make it work again! My sister and I, we are very grateful!
Thank you! It's been a year since I haven't used my Bose Soundlink. One day, when I wanted to turn it on, it did not work! You helped me resuscitate my Bose Bluetooth Device, so thanks once again.
OMG. I just did this while pushing in the multi-function button and disconnecting power. "Bleep" power light can on! Genius and now appears to have beenresurrected. Much thanks!
Thank you! I'm so happy I don't have to replace this machine after just a few months.
I've had this issue probably about 10 times, lol.
mine worked with the multi function button:
-Hold multifuction button 5-10 seconds
-Plug into power source/computer while holding
-release multifunction button
Your device should power on. If this doesn't work try it a few different ways it will work. The multifunction button is the three dot button btw!
I tried all the suggestions you mentioned, but the one that actually fixed my problem immediately was running the Bose Updater program you mentioned to update the firmware. As soon as it was done updating, my Soundlink turned on again. Thanks!
How to do an update if the speaker wont turn on?
Okay, I emailed bose, but havent heard back. I did the pause play button from one of the readers. Bam its working and my husband is happy again
I’ve tried the multifunction button a million times and it never worked but I tried using the power button (plugged into my Mac) after watching this and it worked on the second try! Thank you!!
4 days before 2022 ends, same thing happened and your video is a life (read: pocket) saver.
OMG - Thanks for posting this video!!! Plugging mine into my computer and holding down the power button for 10 seconds totally worked! You saved me loads of $$$ as I was just looking yesterday at buying a new bluetooth speaker.
You are a boss!! Thank you for this. I have seen so many other posts talk about doing this reset by pressing the power button - you are the first one to mention using the multi-function button and that was the trick to bring my Bose back from the dead! Thanks a million!
Thank you so much! I have tried the multifunction button more than 10 times. The speaker was turned on for a sec and then back to the dead mode. I was so frustrated. I am glad that I saw your video and finally fixed it by updating it with the bose updater.
Just did it and it worked, with it plugged into the wall, I held down the multi button for 10 seconds, after 10seconds I pulled the power cord, it lit up an orangish, or yellowish blinking light, then green, I plugged it back in, and it started charging, it it on while it started charging, power was high, it works perfectly fine now, thank you.
My Bose Soundlink Colour II wasn't showing up in my bluetooth list to connect on both my Macbook and iPhone, but after trying this I was able to connect the speaker to both. Thank you so much!!!
I haven’t used this speaker in months I thought it would never work again it took me 20 try’s I almost gave up but it finally worked!!!!! Thank you
I don’t own a computer . I kept trying it with the wall outlet and holding down the 3 dots button with it plugged in , after like the 20th time worked . Thank you so much . I had let the battery completely run out and then it wouldn’t charge or do anything now it works like new thank you soooo much for making this video !!!!
Years later and this just saved me worked for me while holding down the multifunction button during disconnect and reconnect and it started charging right away. Ty!
This happen to me before too so I took mine to Best Buy they rebooted it for me. However, a year later the same thing happened and I totally forgot what they did at Best Buy. So thanks for your video... You reminded me of what to do. It works!
I listened once, then did the same “can’t remember order of steps”, and it WORKED. Thankee
It worked finally. I did it like that:
1.unplug
2.press power +plug in while still pressing power
3. Keep plugged in for10-15sec while still pressing power
4. Unplug +stop pressing power
5. Plug in, light will flash
6. Press power
It should charge now+1hr later when it's almost fully charged repeat steps+it should stay on now
I followed your directions using the multi-function button and it worked. These little Bose speakers are very eccentric
I love the internet. I love people who make our lives easier.
God bless you! I am not a religious person but I am grateful that my speaker is working now!
550k views, imagine how many of these rubbish things they sold ;) although the price was right and the sound quality is superb! got mine working again, but had to try 4 times, with the 'multifunction' button. But then the yellow/amber light turned on again! Thanks so much!
They are great unless the battery goes to zero then I have to search for the right video for the correct buttons to push and hold while in your laptop
YES! Using the "Power" button works. Thank you very much for this video! ❤
OMG it really worked, Finally after 2 years of it sitting my garaged not working. Music to my ears. Thank you.
I love you. This already happened to me and I had to call the bose center. But it was 2 years ago and I forgot how to reboot it. Anyway they told me that it's normal, this happens in case your speaker gets stolen or something like that.
I plugged the speaker into my computer and held down the power button for 15 seconds. Amber light appeared & It turned on! Thanks!
Other things you can try:
- make sure speaker is higher than the outlet (I.e rest speaker on table with plug below)
-plug into laptop then unplug (repeatedly)
-press and hold play/pause for 15 seconds while plugged in, then unplug, release button, plug in
For future reference, don’t let the battery die completely.
I was at for 45 minutes and eventually got it charging.
your comment is 2 yr old already but i hope you have a very nice day today thank u
I checked a lots of videos and anything works for me till I see your commnet about plug into laptop then unplug repeatedly, I did that like 10-15 times and start charging lol thanks!
Worked!!! Thought my speaker was a brick but decided to check online before letting it go. Thanks- great job!
This worked for my Soundlink Color II :
Connect the speaker to power again. Press and hold the Multi-function button for 10 seconds. While continuing to hold the button, unplug the speaker from power. Then release the Multi-function button.
Re-connect it to power.
Thank you !
didn;t work for me --niether the power button nor the multifunction button works
I love you so much! I tried the process with the multifunction button several times and it didn't work, but your suggestion of doing the process with the power button did work. You're the best!
yesss!! after 4 videos the answer was connecting it to the computer instead of the wall!! thank you!
Mine just did this. No lights, no power. I did the play/hold button for FIFTEEN seconds, I didn't unplug it from the wall just the play/pause button. Worked great
Yay!! I'd tried everything suggested in other videos, including updating the firmware, which took several tries. It still wouldn't work, I'd tried holding the multifunction button, etc... I'd just about given up hope until I watched your video! I used the power button as you suggested, and voila! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!! I had the same problem, held down the multi function button at first and didn’t think to try the power button until I saw your video!!
nothing was working, tried everything in the video and read almost all the comments until I just tried plugging it in and holding down the multifunction button for probably 15-20 seconds as I read the rest of the comments. she's working again!
Same issue. I tried what you did and it worked. I could get the charge light to come on but it wouldn't stay on until I did what you did. Thanks.
Thank you Elizabeth for sharing! I was going to buy a new speaker. I have used this speaker for about 5 years and it has sat a lot over this last year. Your suggestion worked however your original suggestion of using the muti function button was the trick for me.
Omg I love you I was about to trash mine it’s working just how you said!!!
Omg!!! Thank u so much! It worked after I tried almost 10 times. Finally I can use it again 😭😭😭
That worked for me, I was looking around and couldn’t find much until watching your video
Thanks a lot for sharing the information. I had a Bose soundlink color I and didn't use it for a long time. I met the same not charging issue. I follow above the above steps and still not work.
Finally I download the Bose updater as you mentioned, Awesome, it work now!
It was the power button on my sound link. And I did the update before holding down the power button. Supposedly the new update should take care of this. Thanks for the video
Trying both reboot methods didn't fix it for me, but updating the software did. Your video is the first I heard of it so thank you very much!
Thank you...my frustration is now ended. Music returns to soothe the savage beast!
I don't understand why bose made such horrible system. After trying multiple times it worked finally. Thanks a lot 🙏
I really have to thank you , it worked for my " Bose SoundLink Color I " also , and the multi function button was the mute button .
Thanks a ton!!
I have a generation l and nothing had worked for me, any suggestions??
you're a life saver! Was about to buy a new speaker too!
Brandon paradise I'm so glad this helped you! I was going to do the same until doing some research so I'm glad you looked into fixing it first!
I'm having the same problem with my brand new Bose speaker! Thank you for these suggestions. Off to try them.
I plugged it into my computer (windows) and the trick worked! Thank you OP!
Thank you. Totally fixed my issue. Wasted an hour trying to figure this out.
Awesome review! I tried like 4 other reviews before yours no luck! Then i tried tours and it came on immediately! Thank you again Please do more vids! Hope your well!
Wow! Wow! Your amazing! I almost threw it in the trash. Then came across this video. Didn’t work connected to an outlet, but did work plugged into my laptop.
Thank you
Good looks. Power button hold did it for me, although it took a few tries to do so. A wonderful audio unit, but this is the second major issue (the first was its weeklong failure to connect to any Bluetooth speaker).
I had the same issue. watched 2 other videos with similar instructions to no avail. But then I tried on my computer like you suggested and voila! My SoundLink is fixed and charging as I type this out. Thank you.
Thanks, you made my day. Unfortunately I had opened everything alredy and wanted to solder when I saw your vid. But its a shame that Bose doesnt take care of its products and lets so many people hanging around taking care by themselves. Anyway its working now and thanks a lot again.
Thanks it works. I had to hold the multi purpose button and followed you directions and its now charging.
The plug/unplugged to the power, while holding the multifunction button worked for me 🎉. Thanks s lot
Downloaded the Bose updater and it recognized my device and after the update my speaker finally turned on and was charged...I connected it to my desktop for this procedure...would not work at all prior to this...thanks for this video!
Claudette Ritter thank you for this comment you saved my bose box✌🏼😁
Oh my god it worked! It finally charges! I thought it was dead because I hadn’t used it for too long but I finally have a blinking light again!
YOU SAVED ME OMG THANK YOU! nothing was working and i was getting so frustrated and then your video popped up when i was looking on RUclips how to fix it. I was like this won't work but lets try it and what do you know, it worked! Now its charging! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
What a piece of crap this speaker is! I've probably had a dozen BT speakers and this is the first time I've had one die on me and then to see all the ridiculous things people have had to do to get it to work again. Mine still doesn't work, but the person who tried 6 times b4 it worked gives me hope! NEVER buying another Bose product again. Their website is useless when it comes to addressing this issue. Thanks for the video! Looks like you've helped a lot of people, and I'm still hopeful mine will come back to life.
Hello! Thx for all your comment! I want to add just one info : be sure when you want do update to use an specific data cable and not just a charging cable.
Yessssss. I thought this thing was trash for months and kept it as a paper weight 💀 it just turned on after trying this quite a few times as others suggested! ❤
Thanks for saying what you read to do at the beginming of the video. It didn't work for you, but it worked for me!!
For me it was just holding down the 3 dots button continuously, USB cable plugged into mains charging, plug into Bose USB port for 10 seconds, unplug, replug for 10 seconds, unplug, repeat until it starts charging (flashing red power light) while plugged in.
The video technique got the Soundlink to power on (bt light flashing, but no noise or voice) before single flash of power, bt and aux light and powering down with no recharge.
Thanks for the help. Holding down the multifunction key worked for me. The speaker quit while plugged in after saying the battery was low. The light was red and it wasn't charging. I tried a new cable, and same thing. Then it shut off and wouldn't turn on. It's working now. Thanks.
You’re a star. Thank you. Will try all methods until I get the orange charge light back up. This is sooooooo frustrating. Shame on Bose for not hitting RUclips with a fix. Even an anonymous character upload help. Bad, Bose. They $ charge enough! UPDATE! I tried everything-you mentioned very carefully and for some reason, total fail. Didn’t do any firmware updates either. Then I hit it. While plugged into the iMac - (like a guitar chord) pressed all 3 buttons for 12+ seconds- Power/Bluetooth/AUX/ (and maybe the Play/Pause?) - then with the other hand, pulled the power plug. Waited 30 seconds- hit power ON, and Orange Charge Lite came on.
This was after 20 minutes of every other possible combination possible. Also I have the first generation Bose (red) speaker without a “multi-function” button vs your newer model.
Riff Digger I’ve tried everything, plugged into Mac pc and wall and nothing.
Last three buttons following your directions worked!!! Thank you!
Thanks so much!! I was sad that it didn't work,thought it was going in the garbage. I plugged it into my lap top and it started charging!! Yay!! Also, I held the power button.
awesome video.
For those who are having problem with the Bose Soundlink Color 1(1st Gen), Press the Play/Pause button for 10 sec. If computer doesn't work. Plug it in to wall adapter. You're welcome
Dude!!! You just saved my life, thanks for it
Thank you! this worked for me
I just did you recommendation of connecting it to a computer (HP) and it worked, first time. So that process seems to me, works with Mac or IBM. Thanks for posting.
Thank you, you saved the day of a confined French guy!
Elizabeth....tried first with the Power Button....did not work.....tried them with the Multi-Function Button.....and DARNED IF IT DIDNT COME ON RIGHT AWAY!
THANKS VERY MUCH! GARY
Hi Elizabeth, Just wanted to show some love because this worked beautifully for me and it’s all thanks to you!
For me I had it plugged into the wall, held the Bluetooth button for like 10 seconds and without unplugging it turned itself on. Thanks for the video too for the help :)
Thank u v.much. for me it worked with the first option. I was upset nd you made me smile again
Thanks for this video. I tried all the things you tried before you hooked up the laptop. Once I hooked up to my laptop and used the multifunction button reset it came back. Thank you Thank you Thank you Up in Boston.
The plugging it into my computer and holding down the power button worked! thank you
if you have the SoundLink Mini I system, please try resetting it to see if that helps. A system reset can be accomplished by pressing and holding the Mute button for 10 seconds. The LEDs should then flash briefly. Try turning the system back on by pressing the Power button!!
Thank you so much ..for this video ..I purchased the same product from airport duty free.. I was worried what to do with this piece .. now it’s working ..
It was a great help from you dear.. thanks
Omg! You are awesome. I tried with the power button with my bose soundlink 2 and it’s charging now ❤️❤️ thank you.
Just a note, different buttons work for others. Try each button until it does. Good luck
Thank you so much! I've tried for so long pressing the power button, instead, pressing the multifunctional button works for me!
I have a revolve with the same problem and I plugged it into my computer and it solved the problem. Thank you so much your video saved me lots of trouble
Same thing happend to me. Sometimes its just a faulty wire. My power cord would charge other things but not my speaker. So after trying different cords and then pressing the power button it worked perfectly. I think it went into sleep mode because the first cord had not been charging, so when I switched for another cord it powered up just fine. Sometimes it's the odvious stuff that get you aggravated. I recommend using the thicker gauge power cords.
at the end of the procedure i changed the cord and start to charging.
