After 1.5 years of night working this is the ONLY video that’s had my finally jamming again. THANK YOU!!!!💜

[@mrpistonrecaro6483]

i tried many other ways but your method is the only one that worked!! thanks a lot..bought it at a flea market for $3 usd lol ..well worth it

[@deematt89]

my speaker for some reason speaks spanish do u know how to reset it?

[@carolynwaiman150]

Thank you so so much. My speaker has been broken for over a year and I am absolutely over the moon that its working again

[@joaquinbertematti6377]

I tried all the other "fixes" out there on the internet and nothing worked. I wish this was the first thing I saw. Thanks for the upload, speaker is now working great!

[@CheckAG]

I’m so glad it hear that...have a great day Joaquin!

[@atatee11]

Thank you for taking the time to record this video. I was so upset the speaker broke. Didn’t realize this was an update issue. Would have never figured it out.

[@TrapPhoneLoveMelodiesss]

Bose should truly be ashamed of themselves for this... You're telling me this billion dollar company whose one job is to make speakers, no one tested to see if the speaker turned back on when the battery was drained all the way? Not mad at you, thanks for your help... Mad at bose.

[@doviti]

totally agree with the point. but there are several wonderful features, for example changing speakers' language it TRANSLATES blue tooth logical names of the sources, I'm serious, it does

[@cfcuker]

Mate, I live in Sri Lanka, took me a week to find someone to find someone with a laptop with a standard USB port. Tried all the other hacks on utube. This was the only one that worked! Was like having a child in a coma, can't live without my music. Thanks my friend 😁😁😁👍👍👍

[@CheckAG]

Hey Poke, so glad to hear it worked and thanks for sharing your story all the way from Sri Lanka, lucky you!! 👍🙌😀

[@mialove5632]

Thank you for your help! I didn't realize this was a common problem until today. I went to charge my speaker and would not turn on. I changed outlets and plugs etc. I thought it was broken. Thank you so much!

[@CheckAG]

You're welcome!

[@robmccain]

I still could get mine to power up with the earlier tricks, but I plugged it into the laptop, ran the firmware update, and it’s working fine again. Thanks for the clear & concise information!

[@dianapurwati6295]

Millions thanks for this vid. My speaker won't charge for several days and now it works as new. Thank you from Indonesia

[@the11thnickel]

Thank you! Pretty sure this got mine up and running, I will add one thing for anyone struggling: My Color Soundlink II was unresponsive, even after reset and update steps. It look several tries and about 1 hr on the charger before it would start properly. Try plugging it in to a good power source (

[@petraeleonoragianotti7467]

I'm struggling. I'm going to follow your advide, how did you know how to reset when drained?

[@JC-dl5uh]

Thank you so much for making this video! Same response as many below - I have been dealing with this for years. So happy to have my speaker up and running again!

[@bellaroba7091]

IT WORKED!!! Please try this first and save yourself any extra frustration. Thanks to the creator for posting the helpful video. This just saved me approximately $100, the cost of a replacement. Yay💃🤸

[@hildebrandmegan]

This is the fix!! If its not working try a different USB cord. The 3rd cord finally did the trick and immediately connected.

[@DavidNewnham-gf6ch]

23.07.2024 Thank you so much for this - IT WORKED. Change cable allowed Bose update & is now charging. Hope others find this particular post too.

[@adoseofdana1195]

Thanks for this! I’ve had this problem literally for years finally a permanent fix!

[@amycatanzaro5855]

If this is your first time you will need to download the application then go through a couple of steps before it will work (Mac). I am not having a lot of luck because during update it keeps loosing connection to the product. I unplugged and replugged several times with no success so far. I’ll keep trying but this was a very helpful video and good place to start. Thank you. UPDATE: the download is working now. Put the cord in another USB port and it’s working.

[@michellewiley664]

Thank you so much. I originally threw it in a drawer when it stopped working and the warranty expired. It is working again because of you. 😃

[@CheckAG]

I'm so glad it helped and gave it a second lease of life :-)

[@EllS-dd1ny]

Thank you SO much for sharing this vital, easy fix! Saved me a couple hundred bucks as I was ready to purchase a new speaker! Your time and effort is very much appreciated!

[@gabrielaserrano3786]

Thank You soooooooooo Much!!!!! I speaker went out months ago and I thought of throwing it away since I couldn't turn it on. After seeing you video I decided to try it and VOILA!!!! IT WORKED!!!! 1 MILLION THANKS!!!!

[@saullopez1396]

Finally, my Bose speaker is working with your advice! Thanks!

[@CheckAG]

Glad to help Saul!

[@anthonyflannery222]

Dude. Serious Thank you. I had no idea how to do this, or that it was ever even necessary. My speaker stopped charging for some reason, so I turned to youtube. I found two other videos talking about holding down the power button, but that did not work. I was on the verge of buying a new speaker. This worked like a charm.

[@katealagenio8607]

Such a savior! thank you so much. My sister's been asking me to fix her speaker, and now it is fixed after seeing this video. Found out it only needed to have the firmware update

[@JonathanNonis]

It worked! All I needed was a firmware update. Thanks for that.

[@CheckAG]

Brill, I'm glad Jonathan 👍

[@doreennault136]

Thank you so very much! After finding your previous video and being able to resuscitate the speaker I thought was dead in the water, I found this one and have updated the firmware. Like many others here, I would never ever have figured this out on my own. TeamAG rocks!!🙏😃

[@1samhite]

Youve literally been my GO TO VIDEO to fix this speaker.. thanks for the update video with the permanate fix!

[@j122537]

Very helpful. People should note: You have to download and install the updater. This will be on your computer after you are done (in the system tray). Remember to remove it: Bose obviously has such poor programmers you don't want any of their software permanently on your computer.

[@johnnyr8603]

Yeah no this isn’t working no matter what I try. They keep saying to plug-in my USB into the computer but because the speaker is completely dead with zero charge left I am unable to do anything since the computer doesn’t recognize the speaker is plugged in and since it won’t charge at all how do I get the bose updater to recognize my speaker?

[@theintuitionqueen]

@@johnnyr8603 I had a hard time as well with that, BUT I got a brand new cord, and charged it up. Once that happened, the speaker was back up and running. Did you try a new cord?

[@lindseyp9131]

@@johnnyr8603 yeah mine keeps saying "we lost connection to the speaker". I guess I'll try a new usb before completing giving up :(

[@angiehancock3635]

Thank you AJ! Awesome! I had the same problem with my new Bose (only used less than 10 x's). Stopped charging for whatever reason. I searched for a fix because it's Corona time plus I hate going back to the store and wasting time. My search, thankfully, brought your video fix up. It took a couple of times but it WORKED!! Thank you! I did your update video too. Thanks for sharing!

[@BrookMincin]

Saved me from throwing out my speaker! Thanks SO much!

[@karelgeers5802]

Thank you 1000 times. I thought the battery was broken and wanted to open the speaker until I saw your movie. The update has brought everything back in order! Thank you 1000 times Karel from Belgium

[@pbrady757]

Brilliant - I tried a number of other suggestions but this one worked. Thank you so much

[@theintuitionqueen]

THANK YOU!!! This was awesome. Thought we had to toss our wonderful Bose Speaker, which sucks as we are in Nicaragua and they are not easy to find. This fix helped and our speaker is back to playing tunes. Thank you so much.

[@quickapprovals9000]

I tried all the other videos and once I found this one it worked in minutes ... your amazing I thought it was the cord and was going to ordered a new one I even thought about throwing it out. Thanks again

[@jepeal024]

Thank you for the fix! Disconnected it accidentally during a firmware update and I thought it was gone for good

[@AlisonSpringer]

It’s true this is crazy. I thought the chord was the problem. I’ve watched both of your videos. It’s true Bose this is ridiculous. Thanks for your help guy.

[@collinngo483]

omg thank you!!! spent so much time trying to reset the bose speaker and it did not work. Updating the firmware does the trick.

[@apanalei4855]

Thanks for the tip! I couldn't get my speaker to work until I updated I did this update!

[@parangelus]

After solving the power/charging issue I update my sound link many thanks to you! 💖😍

[@CheckAG]

You're welcome Gaston!

[@neerajkochhar2708]

As others have said before me Thank you so much, was about to throw this thing in the trash can and you resurrected it!

[@delaniedigital]

This is the best help I’ve had in months!

[@jamieharrissmalleyes4274]

My gosh, thank you so much for this. I was about ready to give up all hope and now my speaker is charging again. :)

[@cfcuker]

I've had this speaker for a few years now, put it on charge overnight, tried both your tips, and it's died, lockdown makes t harder. Feels like I've lost an old friend.

[@victoriaortiz8055]

Same..not wrkn for me either???

[@erikagarfias6163]

Same problem. It is not working 😔

[@StAnger561to770]

Yeah I'm having the same problem here I guess it's possible the batteries wear out eventually rechargeable batteries eventually do die I haven't contacted them yet but I hope it's something they can repair

[@gbuckwv]

This actually worked for me. Had to download the updater to my computer though. Thanks. Had not used this speaker in 4-5 years. Thanks again.

[@fbs1917]

You saved me. I thought it would never work again. Thank you sooooooo much.

[@nancyyopp4119]

Thanks so much. Worked a charm. My frustration with the speaker are now over.

[@renauxchris]

Thank you. You have to make sure you have the right USB cable or else it doesn't work. I learned the hard way. Once I plugged in a quality USB cable it worked perfect.

[@ameliaeisenhart2064]

I had stopped using this speaker for a year because it was such a pain to figure out why it wouldn't charge half the time... But I didn't want to get rid of what was a great speaker when it did actually work. Just updating the firmware alone didn't work for me. But! Updating the firmware and then following kpadgett's instructions (I had to do it three times, but it finally worked) on the Bose forum ended up fixing the issue: "-Plug charging cable into speaker -Press the power button after the initial charging light blinks and you hear beep (do so quickly before the other three lights flash, the power indicator light will then flash red and the bluetooth indicator light will begin flashing) -Press and hold the multi-function button and unplug the charging cable after 10 seconds -Plug charging cable back in and it should charge as normal (by normal I mean the charging indicator light will continue to blink as it should, indicating it is now charging)"

[@MrCTozer]

Hi - thanks very much for the hint. I had a Bose Soundline Colour that wasn't responding at all. I'd tried all the button combinations (Power, Play/Pause etc) with no success. Connecting the Bose up to a LAPTOP (I tried a desktop but it didn't work) I then installed the Bose firmware updated and the low and behold the "dead" speaker updated the firmware and turned back on. Thanks to team AG for the suggestion!

[@cesarruiz182]

i tried all but didint work......Finally yours worked great Really TXS

[@DarleneSosa]

Brooo thank you !! my speaker wasn’t turning on for 2 days and i did what you said and it turned on

[@patrickwadsworth9135]

Update worked. Almost tossed it. Took about 5mins😁

[@dogbreath8396]

Gald I saw this firmware update mate !! Soundlink turned in to a rubber brick again. However all fixed champ !!!

[@CheckAG]

Great news ❤️

[@noreverie]

Can you make a video on how to fix the speakers that are not displaying sound because i cant find a video on that

[@doreengayer5723]

Every time I try to download the updater app it says "Uh OH Try Again" It won't let me download the app! How do I fix that?

[@7zero9er7]

Thanks, worked a treat, even with it no charging or turning on before.

[@moneyb8594]

Did your computer recognize your speaker when you plugged it in, even with no power?

[@LauraGambell]

Thank you for both of your videos on this 🙏 I thought I was going to have to get a new speaker!

[@anikaahaan6479]

Thanks so much. It took some time but the speakers is working as new. Thanks again and God bless

[@CheckAG]

You're welcome!

[@mwasrooneymwasinho373]

thanks a lot man i was to take my boss to be fixed which i could have spend alot but because of you i did it by self and also saved some cash and time too

[@DurbinsBourbon]

Thanks so much. I was getting ready to contact Bose. I tried the other methods and it would light up for a second and then die. I did this and it looks like it’s charging. The little l Red light shows powers is going to it now Finally. Cheers 🥃

[@yakkeyduck]

Thank you very much for the info. This worked like a charm! Now I can enjoy my Bose again!! I highly recommend this page and his instructions!!

Great, now updated. Should work fine. Thanks for all of your help.!!!!!!

[@lucillenapolitano4546]

thank you for the tutorials. Finally getting it to charge! and am installing the update to avoid this from happening again.

[@josemanuellastra2488]

Hi Great video. I don’t understand why many other brands of speakers like Amazon Echo, Sonos or Ultimate Ears do not offer a permanent fixing Software rebooter or updater to solve any firmware issue, just Bose. Well, talking about Ultimate Ears, I had a UE Wonderboom 2 and it was my favorite speaker for ever, fully waterproof, an amazing 360° sound, great battery, the best Bluetooth connection I’ve seen on speakers, etc, it was so great that I never called technical support or do firmware updates, but, For example, the Sonos speakers are more likely to suffer firmware issues, there are tons of people reporting a bad behavior with their speakers, and there are tons of complains in the Sonos Forums. Amazon Echo also is a victim suffering these issues, specially the Dots, I had one and it had too many Wifi connection issues, as well as my Sonos Roam being unstable with Apple Music, AirPlay, Alexa and Bluetooth. What is your opinion about these permanent fixes? Sounds very helpful, but talking about real life, the troubleshooting steps or tools that the majority of wireless speaker brands offer for their products are not as good ass reinstalling the firmware to fix every single issue

[@mattstout559]

Worked great thanks it seems to have fixed my issues. Thanks again.

[@CheckAG]

You’re welcome Matt, glad it was useful 👍

[@agar0686]

[@gwenleonard57]

I had to purchase a new charger cord(after market) for my speaker recently from Amazon. I tried to update my speaker but it's not working with the new cord. Could it be that it's not the original cord that came with my Bose speaker? Thanks for the video btw.

[@DrStevenGreene]

well done. corrected the power issue! Also used to update other bose products we own!

[@dimpled1820]

Thank you very much for your detailed video on firmware update & tip to power on. It worked out great 😊

[@Josecastillo-ci9oo]

Would the bose app do the same thing

[@mbuccellato13]

Mine wasnt powering up or charging. This didnt work first 3 tries, laptop wouldnt recognise usb was connected to run the update. I dont know but while it was plugged in to my laptop i hit the multifinctiin button? (The thre dots) and the updater kicked in. Not sure, if that actually did it but if it helps someone..try it.
