Happy to report that this still works in 2024. Thank you for saving me $55 for the send-back fix!

[@neillcaamano6814]

This video is symbolic of how great the internet can be. Thought I'd have to take the speaker back to the shop, wait in line, go through the whole situation with a member of staff, probably repeat it to a manager or colleague, hope to get a replacement and come home. Instead, a quick search, a 2 minute video, and my speaker is working again! Nice on, Team AG, much appreciated.

[@CheckAG]

Hi Neill, I'm glad it helped and you didn't have to go through that palava. Thanks so much for the warm and encouraging words, I never thought I'd make a symbolic video. Thanks! ❤️

[@stephaniemoore9313]

Finally worked!!!!! Thank you!!! I also recommend you plug USB directly into a USB outlet don’t use a wall outlet. Thanks 😊

[@hachicodog6819]

Yes tnx god bless u brother❤

[@USNAcheson]

For anyone who is having this issue you have to do it on a computer and use the Bose charger cable to avoid it not working. Here is the steps. 1. Plug in Bose charger cable to charging port. 2. Plug in USB into PC. 3. Hold the Multifunction button (3 dots on top) for 10-15 seconds. 4. Unplug the USB from your PC while still holding multifunction button. 5. Release multifunction button. 6. Replug in the USB into your PC. 7. Hit power button and your Bose Color Soundlink 2 should now be charging with a flashing orange light indicating its charging. If you do this on a wall outlet it will turn on but won’t go into charging mode for some really odd reason. Hope this helps all who experience this issue like I did.

[@PO-qr2zj]

Ryan Acheson OMFG I LOVE YOU IT WORKED. MY BOSE STOPPED CHARGING OR TURNING ON FOR SOME ODD REASON UNTIL I TRIED THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@SmokySmokington]

still isn't working. sucks, because the speaker was actually pretty good when it worked.

[@cjonesy4654]

Wow this actually worked. Thank you so much. I've had my Bose Speaker for quite a while (over a year, maybe two...) and this happened before but leaving it plugged in for a little while fixed it. When it didn't fix it it this time I got scared; it's a great speaker, but my bank isn't prepared for a replacement at the moment 😅😅😅

[@shae07030]

This video is a literal blessing. I borrowed my dad’s speaker for a while and then gave it back to him not knowing that it was in this state. As a result, he got upset at me thinking I destroyed it (bec I have quite a history of uh.. damaging stuff 💀). Then I found this video and after an hour of unplugging, plugging, and begging I finally got it to work and also updated it as per the follow-up video. Now, I have regained my dad’s trust and my peace of mind. Truly, thank you 😌

[@immortalbee6202]

Same bro, I have a bad track record of breaking my fiance stuff by accident we jsut moced into a new place and went to try and use the speaker and it wouldnt cut on or turn red to charge. Next time she's not looking I'll try it. I really hope it's not broken if so then I have to buy another one

Thank you for this- Bose needs you on the payroll.

Mine did the exact same thing. Your fixed worked. Problem returns after a while though. Bose needs to offer a replacement as there's obviously an engineering design flaw that the customers are having to put up with. My UE Boom never had issues like this. Ugh!

Important Discovery if trying to update your Bose. If it's not updating because it won't stay on long enough to update this is what I did. Hold down the power button and plug into your computer while on the bose updated website. Keep holding the power button while it updates to new software. Don't let go. Worked for me.

[@PeaceIsYeshua]

@@findingheadwaters, 😭 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! My speaker, that I was _this_close to giving up on, is now charging *thanks to YOU!!!* 🎉 I've probably been working on this for 1.5 hours, and I've tried soooo many different things including holding down the multifunction reset button 10-15 seconds with it plugged in, holding down the power butter 10-15 seconds, and I did the steps in this video problem 30+ times to no avail. Like you, I was unable to update mine until I read about your trick!! After updating it, I then did the multifunction reset step again, the power button, and I did the steps in this video about 5 times, and suddenly, the next time I tried, it started charging! Yay!! Thank you again!! 😊

So I had the same problem, and this fix didn't work after many multiple attempts, multiple USB adapters and cables.....BUT I saw this on fixit so I tried it and it WORKED!. I connected my speaker via the charging cord to my computer. I went to the Bose Support Website and clicked on the portable speakers picture, then the Bose Soundlink II Color picture there I saw saw the link to the Bose Software Updater. I downloaded the updater and ran it, (it was in my Downloads directory) After the software updater connected to my Soundlink, It said my software was up to date, and wouldn't allow me to go backwards.....BUT I saw this on fixit! Type a, then d, then v, then Up_Arrow, then Down_Arrow ......BOOM; the window changed to Advanced Mode and allowed me to use older versions of software! So I selected back one revision older, and then clicked on the green "Apply Changes" button.....the software update status bar went active and it took about two minutes to load the new software and automatically rebooting the speaker and it came to life speaking to me! Interesting enough, the speaker said my battery charge status was "HIGH" when it rebooted, so it wasn't the "Shipping mode" my speaker went into.... I hope this works for you if all the other methods fail.

Hello, thank you very much for your help, it just happened to me and I was getting crazy. It is important to say that for the "sounlink II" the button is the Start button, for the "soundlink I" it is the multifunction button. Thanks again.
