Fix BOSE Bluetooth Speaker That Wont Charge Battery (Soundlink Flex Mini Revolve S1 USB NOT CHARGING

If your Bose Bluetooth speaker is not charging, there are several steps you can take to try and resolve the issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow:
Check the power source: Ensure that the power outlet or USB port you are using to charge the speaker is functioning properly. Try using a different power source or USB cable to eliminate the possibility of a faulty connection.
Clean the charging port: Dust, debris, or dirt in the charging port can prevent proper charging. Use a soft, dry cloth or a can of compressed air to gently clean the charging port on the speaker and the charging cable.
Reset the speaker: Sometimes, a simple reset can fix charging issues. Locate the power button on your speaker and hold it down for about 10 seconds until the speaker turns off. Then, turn the speaker back on and check if it charges.
Update the firmware: Visit the official Bose website and check if there are any firmware updates available for your speaker model. If updates are available, follow the instructions provided by Bose to install them. Firmware updates can often address charging-related issues.
Try a different charging cable and adapter: If you have access to another compatible charging cable and power adapter, try using them to charge the speaker. This will help determine if the issue lies with the cable or adapter.
Contact Bose support: If the above steps do not resolve the problem, it may be necessary to reach out to Bose customer support for further assistance. They can provide specific troubleshooting steps or guide you on how to proceed with repairs or warranty claims.
Remember to consult the user manual for your specific Bose speaker model, as it may contain additional troubleshooting steps or information tailored to your device. #bosespeakers

I would highly recommend for headphones a new pair of Beats that won't break the bank.

This guy's more helpful than the Bose Support team could ever be.

Bose software update fixed my issue. Didn’t even realize a speaker could get a software update. I was about to throw my speaker away. Very cool.

[@johnalejandro8650]

I just want to thank you! Your video taught me such more more about my bose sound link micro than any other video. I had two speakers dead in the water for a year. I came across your video and brought them both back from the dead! I am so appreciative. Have a happy new year in 2024!

[@carlwiley4289]

My Bose Soundlink Resolve works again after following Hermit's instructions. Thank You!

[@rayarchambault9585]

For me it was the hooking it up to my laptop and updating my portable speaker on Bose site. Once this was completed the speak came on and told be it was 90% charged Hurray and thanks again for your interest in helping others.

[@moniquealston5353]

Not even two minutes into the video and you helped me resolve my issue. Thank you!!

[@LittleMew133]

Such an excellent video! I tried: - Updating firmware (worked last time) - Resetting the speaker (didn't work this time) - Changing out adapters & micro USB cables (didn't work this time) - Blowing into the charging port (worked this time) If it wouldn't started working again, I would have tossed it into the freezer. Thanks so much for the help both times!

[@Quixoteyou1]

he saved himself from the deep freeze! first two steps did the trick! thanks!

[@charityborg5550]

Thank you so much for this! I just missed the return date on my Bose speaker and I tried everything to resolve the issue with no luck. Your unconventional advice fixed the issue!

[@angusmcwhorter9012]

I did the first option and itg now seems to be charging. Thank you very much, sir!!!

[@patricka.9982]

IT WORKED!. I have the oval BOSE speaker (Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Speaker) . THANK YOU i was about to take it apart.

[@user-if4kg3cv7l]

Nuclear option worked a treat! Exactly as you suggested. I had tried all the previous solutions. Great vid

[@jaysonewert8157]

This just saved me 50 dollars. My revolve+ wasn’t charging and the Bose updater app on the computer fixed it!

My Bose soundlink II was dead and would not charge.I tried all your recommendations except the freezer and no luck. So I tried the 3 hour freeze and it worked! Thank you for your help.

[@susanliebermann5721]

The update idea was a surprise...and it worked! Thanks for the tip!

[@lesspaul2241]

Shipping mode worked, started charging instantly. Thank you.

[@dashboardblake]

Updated on the website after hooking to my computer. It worked!! Thank you so much! I almost tossed this speaker out.

[@humanbeing496]

thank you! updating the firmware helped me!

[@williambriancodera604]

Thanks man, it worked in my speaker that I thought was dead for a long time. Update is the only key,

[@naturalmoments9319]

IT WORKED!! Thanks for the video!❤

[@jesserussell2440]

First technique worked. Thanks! *Liked Video* saved me a headache. Have a great day!

[@susanrayner6418]

Brillliant! Thank you very much. The speaker was dead even though I didn't think it had been used enough to deplete the battery. Holding down the multi-function key restored it to live and speaker was partially charged. I did the factory reset anyway and hope this solves all issues. (And that I can find you if it happens again!)

[@svvital2141]

So mine wouldn't charge and tried everything normal...Nothing worked... until I stuck it in the freezer for 2 hours. It's now charging and all fixed. This was about as messed up as blowing in Nintendo carts back in the day 😂. Thanks for the video!

[@robstasingh3658]

Thank you for the video. First thing I tried was updating the firmware and that did it for me 👍🏼

[@nathanielrobinsonjr.9275]

Trying a different power source worked! Thanks!

[@tammyennis490]

Thank you so much! Your very first tip reset the battery and it was able to recharge once again. I appreciate this video! 👍🏼 🙏🏻

[@user-cc4gz1gc6x]

My Bose bluetooth speaker wouldn't start or charge. Your first option (hold the multi-function button down for 10 seconds) worked beautifully! Many thanks!! Steve in NS

[@sunxero8321]

You sir are amazing, thank you for taking the time to make this vid, you solved my problem

[@YWillhey]

Thanks it worked great after your recommendation!!

[@EliteTrashMan]

Thank you sir I appreciate this video. I tried everything you said and mine actually completely died in the middle of updating so I tried the freezer thing but only for 45 minutes and it started working again

[@aselbyas]

Thank you so much I am very happy to report that the upgrade method worked for me. The first two did not. Thanks again

[@hotrod61455]

This is great. 😂 So far the update part is doing the trick. Fingers crossed it'll be working by the morning.

[@claytonbroome9191]

Thanks for the fix

[@brixplorer6847]

[@toasty8926]

[@AniwayahCherokee213]

[@ydoic1111]

It worked in like 10 seconds ty I was thinking it was done after 2 years

[@ricardomuroplaza2812]

I used the upgrade application, it worked great for. Muchas gracias por tú ayuda, creía que estaba muerto el altavoz y con la aplicación y conectándolo al ordenador por cable revivió y pude cargar la batería (con cargador por corriente de 5A para tardar menos) completamente, hasta los 5 indicadores que tiene.

[@xandinewell1281]

Thanks!

[@HelpingHermit]

wow thank you so much!

[@xandinewell1281]

Sure thing! Really appreciate your help getting this thing working again up against a deadline. utilizing it for playback to record audio for a presentation. Almost splurged for a new speaker. Thank the Universe for smart folks like you!

[@StephenDuncan-cd8ex]

I did the factory reset and I did put it on ship mode.

[@bobbyboy1962]

Thanks bud, reset got me back charging on mine so no nuclear ..........yet lol

[@Sludge-and-Death]

the Bose Speaker take a very specific charging cable. while it looks very similar to other USB cables its not. i tried 5 or 6 other cable until I finally found the Original cable that came with the speaker. The most obvious difference was the cable plugs in much further than all the others i tried. now its charging again. just wanted to put this into the comments for all the ppl who lost the original cable and cant get it to charge. hopefully that helps some

[@jserenity]

I have updated the firmware and it start charging again. However, I went away for 3 days and left it powered and when I returned, its off and wont charge again. Mine is a Bose Revolve+ Soundlink Saw in another video how the bettery is still okay (drained but not rotten. It should be since mine uses 18650 that has a recharge of 800+ cycle) that its just the circuit is disconnecting it from charging if its fully drained.

[@davejohnfrancisco8533]

When i charge my bose soundlink resolve, the only i seeing is just blinking the orange.. it cannot charge..

[@mitangot1599]

Thanks for the video but after all the steps including nuclear my Soundlink Flex does not work. It was up to date with Bose when I checked. It was working fine until a few days ago when I walked away from it with my connected phone and my wife got sick of it asking to connect so hit a few of the buttons several times until it was silent! Probably the BlueTooth one but who knows! Now the only response I can get is single red blink when I plug it in, although times 10 times. Sometimes when I hold down the power button or the three dot button it again blinks 10 times. I have left it plugged in for many hours also tried different cords and chargers. No improvement. Any other ideas?

[@MrBeefSlapper]

I found out that mines charges placing the speaker vertical (standing on the thin side) but doesn't charge while laying flat (resting on the wide flat long side)

[@jrdelatorre2999]

Question what if it doesn’t blink and just stayes on 3 light on

[@KEWONZOR]

Why all their software always stops charging when battery falls below certain percentage... same with sound link mini 1 .. with no way to fix

[@ALADINOTVNYC]

So sorry to communicate that I wasn't that lucky with the Nuclear option, mine is dead and nothing lights up, not charging and tried everything except laptop connect since it's asking for original cable and I'm traveling and don't have it with me.😢

[@chronic_daydreamer]

I don’t understand how it’s supposed to update if it won’t charge. I tried this and it just didn’t work at all.

[@toddking-dentalcoach]

Im having the same issue here. Did you ever figure out a solution?

[@Gooddogeatssushi]

@@toddking-dentalcoachdid you find a solution?

[@Gooddogeatssushi]

@@bigdon_Jakenothing works . I’ll return mine and pay 90$ for a new one

[@Mm33z]

my is dead and not charging

[@Baldozer14]

Why does mine light up when I load the three bags, then disappear again and then not light up again? Besides, it lights up when the connector is inserted into the speaker, I hope my comment will be noticed and I will fix my speaker. By the way we have the same speaker and color😊 I didn't drop it and it was draining then and then I tried to charge it and it started and didn't charge.

[@mohammedshijas7196]

Iam also facing the same issue

[@mohammedshijas7196]

[@toddking-dentalcoach]

This video is very informative, however, I have tried all methods including nuclear, and have had no success. Tried different cords, to the computer, to the wall, etc. I can't even get enough power to reset or update the software. Any additional ideas would be appreciated. @HelpingHermit can you help?
