A final fix for a Bose Soundlink II Bluetooth speaker that is blinking red

[@SweetMaddy7722]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! (SEE BELOW: I added an updated explanation to your video since it's been almost 3 years you uploaded this amazing video.) I watched a few other "how to fix the blinking red battery light" videos but none went as far as yours did with the last step of basically "re-updating" my Bose Soundlink Mini 2 by pressing the following keys: A, D, V, Up arrow, Down arrow. When you go to the Bose website (May 2022), it has been updated and I didn't see any other choices or menu box to select the firmware version like in your video. For me, it just said that my speaker had the latest firmware. But I took a chance and pressed "A, D, V, Up arrow, and Down arrow," regardless of what was on the screen AND ONLY THEN did the menu box showed up (basically putting the website into the "Advanced Mode)! (By the way, the letters do not have to be in all-caps when pressing so no need to press down shift key while pressing those keys.) I RESELECTED the latest/current firmware and click on the update/apply button (I forget what it said but it was green), and the website REDOWNLOADED the latest firmware (which my Bose already had but re-downloaded nonetheless). ONLY THEN did the blinking red light stopped. Just in case, afterwards, mine then went into a SOLID RED LIGHT. So I just tried resetting both the soft reset and factory reset (as described in your video), and unplugged my Bose from the computer and REPLUGGED it directly into a wall plug. AND THEN, like magic, the red light turned into the slow blinking AMBER light, indicating it was FINALLY CHARGING and working properly!!! I really, really appreciate you taking the time to upload this very helpful, problem-solving video, and I also thank the ifixit link person!!

Great add, thanks!!

WHAT GREAT INFORMATION YOU HAVE SHARED SIR THANK YOU, I'M FROM NAIROBI, KENYA. TRULY WORKED AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

[@AKJeeper]

Oh my goodness. I was going to throw out my speaker after having the same red blinking light problem! I also had the same experience as Hyanne Park - after doing the firmware update, I did the soft and factory reset, then plugged the speaker back into a wall plug. The red light turned to a slow blinking amber light and now my speaker works again after being dead for over a year! Thanks so much for posting your video!

[@mathiaskarlzon]

Thank you! My speaker was dead for like 1.5 years, haha! On a Mac, Bose updater said it was updated. Did: A, D, V, Up, Down, updated with same firmware again. Then it went in to solid red light. Did hold "multi function button for 10 sec" and did not remove the power. Every light started blinking and now it's charging again and connected to my phone and playing music! Amazing!

Glad it worked...

You saved me $60. It didn't work until I used the cable that came with the speaker, as you suggested. Thanks!

[@Ivan-nd6qy]

A million times thank you! I let my speaker collect dust for 1.5 years because I didn't know how to fix it. Looked up so many videos on troubleshooting and what not, but your video was the one to help me finally fix my speaker. Thanks a ton!

Glad it did the trick!

[@EKQ-Godschild]

Absolute legend. I’ve had my bose for 3 months and was having the problem of it not charging. Tried exactly what you said by pressing the middle bottom for 10 seconds…. It’s working now. Thank you so much. Very much appreciated. Thank you.

[@gustavopp83]

People, if the normal procedure doesn't work like my case, I noticed that around 60% of the update (or so) the speaker came to life, but then when the process finished it went to flashing red again... so I did the procedure again, but this time when the speaker came to life, against all recommendations and odds, I disconnected the USB... yes.. and now it works. Thanks a lot to this guy and I hope I help someone else with this extra step. Good luck.

[@DashboardSymbols]

Good show, thanks. I think it will...

[@nivexius]

same for me, updated it and still flashing red light. updated again then disconnected it when it came to life. it even says battery 100%. connected it to phone and played music for about 1 minute, it died again, then back to red flashing light. very frustrating.

[@yap7656]

@@nivexius did you try to charge it while in use? at least you can use it and doesn't go off.

[@lacebark2561]

This is the case for me, however it won't let me try the procedure again. I keep getting an alert saying "No dice. There are no available updates for this product" and the light is still blinking red.

I pressed apply changes and it did the install and boom, went from red blinking to yellow blinking and was able to start using it straight away again as it was charging with a yellow blinking light.
