JBL Charge 2 Plus: My device turns on and connects but doesnt play

Fri, 21 Oct 2016 05:03:34 -0700

So before my speaker worked perfectly fine then it started making a really bad noise and sounded like a loud exhaust pipe from a car and eventually didnt make any noise at all. I tried connecting it to different devices to see if it was my device but all it does is turn on but doesnt make the noise when it turns on and it connects but i turn on music or just anything with audio and it doesnt make anything.

JBL Charge 2 Plus: My charge 2+ charges, powers up and connects, but no sound

Sat, 19 Mar 2022 09:29:45 -0700

My Charge 2+ charges and powers up properly, and it connects to the signal—I get the connect tone and the device registers the connection—but i get no sound. What is the most likely problem, can I troubleshoot further, and can i fix it?

JBL Charge 2 Plus: Only the power button works - sometimes

Sat, 31 Jul 2021 11:36:34 -0700

I know this looks like a duplicate of another question from years ago but I promise it’s not. I have a JBL charge 2+ that took a decent fall. One of the inductor shells on the board cracked and the speaker wouldn’t even turn on. I have replaced the board and the speaker now turns on.

The speaker will only stay on for a couple of seconds unless it is plugged in. Sometimes, the power button won’t work, and I have to disconnect and reconnect the battery. The speaker plays the startup and shutdown noise, and I can play music through the aux. However, none of the other buttons or lights on the board work. The charging LED’s, the volume buttons, none of them; except the power button - and only sometimes.

I’d prefer to fix it instead of paying 150 dollars to replace the whole thing. I have checked that all the connections and ribbon cables are hooked up properly, and none of the board components are loose or damage now that the main board has been replaced. I know it’s a long shot, but does anyone have a suggestion? (Or even a link to the service manual that ISNT behind a paywall)

JBL Charge 2 Plus: Still not charging after battery replacement

Mon, 31 May 2021 01:48:16 -0700

I have a Charge 2+ that wasn’t charging (red battery light). I opened it up and found the old battery shape like a football - not good. I bought the correct polarity replacement and voila! I had a working speaker for a while. But, it is still not charging. This could be because of a faulty USB port - but from the looks of things its in perfect shape - no corrosion/damage. What can I do to test it? The small circuit board that has the micro USB charging port as well as the USB out and the headphone out is connected to the mainboard by a 32 pin ribbon connector and I’ve got no idea which of them carry the power from the charging port. Any ideas how I could figure it out? Is there a circuit diagram available for the Charge 2+?

JBL Charge 2 Plus: My JBL charge 2 + TL works but when I play music it shuts off

JBL Charge 2 Plus: After some seconds/minutes on loud volume a lot of distortion and nois

Sun, 05 Jul 2020 02:24:52 -0700

Hi,

my charge 2+ is a little wasted. It doesnt charge very well anymore. Charge status is also shown wrong. Shows full if empty. On little volume it works quite well. But if increasing volume it starts with a lot of distortion/noise and really sounds bad. This problem is more likely if not constantly on charge.

So I think it may be a battery problem?! Not the speakers. Because for a least some seconds it can work on all kind of volume. Do you think I should try put a new battery in it? Or can it be a mainboard problem?

thanks

JBL Charge 2 Plus: Platine/Motherboard Amplifier out of order

Mon, 01 Apr 2019 06:31:52 -0700

Hey folks,

the mainboard / amplifier of my Charge 2+ is out of order. It is selecting only one of the 2 speakers. A capacitor has broken. Soldering is not so easy, so i am searching for an alternative amplifier/mainboard.

Anybody an idea, where i can get one, original or alternative? And which alternative one can be used?

Thanks a lot, best wishes

JBL Charge 2 Plus: What screw type does the JBL Charge 2 Plus use on the housing?

Sat, 10 Nov 2018 08:42:47 -0700

While getting a replacement battery delivered I managed to misplace quite a few of the 5mm (referred to in some guides also as .5mm) small black housing screws. It’s affecting sound quality when the battery compartment isn’t sealed properly.

Does anyone know what type of screw they are exactly to order some replacements? Didn’t have much luck down at the local electronics store, they couldn’t figure out what’d be an exact match.

JBL Charge 2 Plus: Why won't my speaker turn on?

Thu, 06 Sep 2018 04:22:18 -0700

Hi. My JBL Charge 2+ malfunctioned when I was chopping wood in 0 degree celcius weather and listening to music. If I plug it into power socket then the power button light is always ON. If I remove it from the socket then pressing on the power button only turns the power button light on as long as I press the button. Other buttons do not respond at all. Needless to say that no music comes from the speaker. I assume it cannot be the battery problem since the battery was strong until that faithful day. Also, the speaker should still power up if it is connected to the power grid.

Please help!
