Speaker will not turn on when connected to power
My speaker is plugged into the wall, but will not turn on.
Improper connection to the socket
Make sure your speaker is plugged into a working AC socket.
Check the connections between the speaker and the power adaptor to ensure it is properly connected.
If using a surge protector, check to verify that it is working properly.
Bad power adapter / charger
If the speaker still will not turn on, there may be a faulty power adaptor. As a result, you may need to buy a new one.
Make sure you are using the power adaptor supplied with your speaker upon purchase, as other power adaptors may not be compatible.
Speaker will not turn on when using battery
The battery is charged, but my speaker still will not turn on.
Speaker settings are affected
If your speaker is not charged or used within a 14 day period it will enter protection mode. In order to correct this setting, you must plug the speaker back into an AC outlet.
Bad battery / bad charge
If the battery is bad, you may have to replace it. Click on this link to see how to replace the battery: Bose SoundLink Mini Battery Replacement.
Another underlying problem can be the charge. Make sure the battery has sufficient charge by plugging it back into the AC outlet.
Speaker indicates a connection, but no music is playing
The Bluetooth indicator displays a connection, but my music doesn't play when I begin a song.
Issues with the device connection / audio playback
Although, the SoundLink Mini indicates a connection with your device, the device might still be unpaired. Check your device's Bluetooth settings to make sure that it is paired to the SoundLink Mini.
Devices have transport controls that allow for playback of audio, if these controls are not set to playback audio, sound will not transmit to the SoundLink Mini.
If you have other devices that are currently using Bluetooth, turn those off along with the speaker and the device you are trying to pair. Once everything is turned off, turn on only the speaker and device to begin to pair them.
Issues with the speaker settings
A possible problem could also be that the SoundLink Mini's volume is set too low, or even on mute. Correctly adjust the volume to verify that this may or may not be the problem.
If the volume on the speakers are set to an audible level, verify that your device's volume is also correct.
No audio from Bluetooth device
My speaker isn't playing any music from my device.
SoundLink Mini settings / connection issues
Verify that the SoundLink Mini is not muted and that the volume is turned to a desired level. You can also verify that the SoundLink Mini indicates a connection with the desired device.
The device you are using also displays a connection, make sure that the device you are using for the SoundLink Mini is connected using Bluetooth, and is playing music at an adequate hearing level.
Another problem may be that your device is out of range of the Bluetooth signal, move it in range of the SoundLink Mini to ensure that it works.
As a last result, turn the SoundLink Mini off and then back on again.
Interference of outside devices
Sometimes other devices generate electromagnetic interference that can interrupt the Bluetooth signal. Move these devices away from the SoundLink Mini and your device to ensure it is able to connect. Outside devices may include, but are not limited to: microwave ovens, cordless phones, network routers, and other Bluetooth devices.
If there are other outside devices that use the Bluetooth capabilities, turn them off or disable the feature.
Cannot pair speaker with a Bluetooth device
I can't pair my Bluetooth device with this speaker.
Unable to connect to a device
Make sure that you are running the latest software on your SoundLink Mini speaker. Visit the support center at https://www.bose.com/support.html and search for the newest update. If the software is already up to date you might need to perform a product reset. This can be accomplished in a few easy steps:
On the speaker, press and hold mute for 10 seconds, the LEDs will flash for a few seconds.
Next press the Power button to turn the SoundLink Mini speaker back on.
Device is having issues with connection
Many Bluetooth enabled devices have an option where the Bluetooth feature can be turned on or off. It may be set to off to save the battery life of the device. Be sure this option is set to on. If the speaker is paired to the Bluetooth enabled device, it should automatically reconnect when its Bluetooth function is turned on. If the Bose product doesn't automatically reconnect, manually select the Bose product within the Bluetooth list on the device.
Some devices will pair to a device but not automatically connect. Go to the pairing list of the device and check. If it is, try connecting to the SoundLink Mini speaker.
Too many devices on the pairing list
If that doesn't help then you might have to clear your pairing list with these easy steps:
On the speaker, press and hold the Bluetooth button for about 10 seconds until you hear a noise. The speaker will clear all Bluetooth devices from its memory and will be able to be discovered.
Clear the list on your Bluetooth device. For more information you will have to refer to the manufacturer for support of your device.
If those don't help then try pairing the device again by following these steps:
With the Bluetooth device and the speaker both turned on, press and hold the Bluetooth button on the speaker for three seconds to make the speaker be discovered. The Bluetooth indicator will slowly turn on and off to show the speaker is able to be discovered.
On your device, locate the Bluetooth device list and select "Bose SoundLink" from the list.
If your device asks for a code, enter digits 0000 and press OK. Some devices also ask you to accept the connection. Your Bluetooth device will indicate when pairing is complete. The SoundLink Mini speaker will let you know when pairing is complete when the Bluetooth indicator stops turning on and off and remains on.
Distance between the device and speaker
The system is designed to operate at a range of 30 feet. The performance can be decreased by obstacles such as walls or metal and may also be affected by other Bluetooth devices. Try moving the SoundLink Mini speaker closer to your Bluetooth device.

I agree that this is the most frustrating device ever. And Bose is slow to help.
Maybe look elsewhere before you buy Bose.
kaya5 - Yanıt
Agree. Bose is simply not helpful. Not everything can be fixed with a reset and that is all they recommend. Plenty of other bluetooth speakers out there.

Try resetting the device by holding the Power Button for 10 seconds. It worked for me with this issue. You'll have to pair your devices afterwards again.

I have a problem with my Bose Mini that I haven't seen addressed yet. When I turn the volume up on my Bose Mini the speakers start to "crackle" and then they just shut off the speaker. I have to plug the power cord into the speaker to get it working again. Did I blow the speakers? Any thoughts? Thanks!
Brian Miller - Yanıt
I have the same problem as you. It works well, has very clean sound. But 3 second after i play a song, it starts a noise and sounds suddenly gone. BUT, when I plug the charger, it keeps doing the same thing.
Nugraha Wicaksana -
When the Mac System Preferences Bluetooth menu window indicates that the Soundlink IS Connected, but you hear no sound, go to the Bluetooth icon at the very top of the screen and connect it THERE!! Why, I don't know, but it solved my problem. I love my Bose Soundlink, and don't understand other posts that hate them.
john henker - Yanıt
My speaker just shuts off randomly for no reason. The battery is dooing fine.
michaelyoung3060 - Yanıt
did you fixed this ?
Peng Huang -
It has an auto shut off after 30 minutes of inactivity, I think you can fix the problem by holding down the AUX and the volume up button at the same time, it will give you options to change it.

paulwall7 -

Within 3 feet of my PC my Bose Mini will torture me to connect. Then after reload several times, it works BUT has a maddening "blip" interrupt in the music every 30 or 40 seconds. Read this is a common problems and BOSE is slow to response. (Still waiting on an answer from Bose support after 10 days and three emails ....)What an incredible waste of money... So disappointed.

I have the same problem as you. There's no problem with bluetooth connection or the quality of the sound. But, the song I play only lasts for 3 seconds. And then suddenly it's gone.

This is so frustrating. I can't get it to pair with any Apple device. It works for a while and then stops. The trouble shooting does not help. This thing wasn't cheap. I thought Bose was a quality product???

Try “Forget this Device” in the iOS Bluetooth Settings, then perform a reset on the Soundlink (press mute for 10 seconds), then reconnect. A little frustrating, but works for me.

Jason wegiel -
I cannot get my speaker to charge. The battery light comes on and makes the sound that it's charging for just a second and then nothing....it will not charge!
huffapril - Yanıt
I'm getting something similar. If you plug it into the side of the speaker rather than the base plate it will probably charge. However for some reason the baseplate doesn't recognise the power. This is annoying though, because then you have to unplug it rather than just grab it. I only bought mine last week so am probably going to take it back and try for a different one...
Damian -
I have updated firmware on my speaker this morning and it stopped charging through docking station, it does exactly the same - "The battery light comes on and makes the sound that it's charging for just a second and then nothing". It was absolutely fine before when it had software version 1.0.11. Has anyone had any luck resolving this issue ?

Hey, has anyone figured out the just have flashing red light on battery, will not charge & have no sound? I'm trying to figure whether I need a new charger or battery. ..
Diana Wiley -
I'm curious about this, too. My speaker has worked fine for months, then, I turned it off last night and went to bed. This morning I woke up to find the red light flashing red really quickly. Nothing works. Reading the Bose websites makes it seem like I need to update software, but I can't get the speaker to turn on to connect. Any ideas? I love the Bose sound, but this is one of the most frustrating pieces of equipment I've ever owned!
Tom -
It’s not the speaker- it’s the battery. Do NOT purchase a new battery on I-Fix it, as I traced the cells to being manufactured in Malaysia but priced and marketed as OEM.
ifixit.com is the best resource for “How to’s” and has every tool on the planet for every device- high quality too.
Ifix it parts (especially batteries) are subpar unfortunately and highly overpriced.
use Ifix it as a resource for how to fix any/everything, and their tools are premium- but don’t buy their batteries or parts.
your red flashing light is simple to fix- you need a new battery which are cheap and better on Amazon. The iFixit Battery is NOT OEM, nor sourced from Panasonic nor Sanyo.
Go through Amazon for the battery- the tool is cheaper also and it’s just needed once (Torx).
If you want OEM- yes you’ll pay a lot and their not easy to get but try through BOSE outlet online.
The issue isn’t your speaker though.
Giovanni Garretto -
Im connected to the speak but it makes no sound whenever I play a song☹

jamiem608 - Yanıt
Where can I purchase ONLY a battery? Bose A/S center in Korea is fuxxing expensive price to replace battery. Almost $90 .
So plz reply anyone who know where can I buy it!
louiswoong - Yanıt
You can purchase aftermarket batteries- but you can’t purchase a BOSE OEM replacement- for that, BOSE requires you to mail the speaker in or bring into a BOSE authorized repair center.
Unfortunately- BOSE has adopted APPLE’s , business motto by locking consumers out of their products to fix or replace batteries, shifting the costs onto the consumer. Like Apple, you can’t buy OEM parts anywhere except through the company- but they won’t send them to you- they demand to install all purchased parts themselves, and provide no transparency of what the problem was. Just a way to keep the consumer stupid and needing them.
With that said- I did purchase 2 aftermarket 3rd party batteries for my SoundLink mini 1 from iFixit- both batteries were DOA- neither worked and when placed across a multimeter, the cells were not charged properly before shipping as they clocked at 6.xx colts… low enough for the speaker charging BMS chip to reject the battery with the red flashing lights of death.
You can’t hack the battery either.

On Windows 10, the Bluetooth settings lists the speaker multiple times, i.e., the name of the speaker is repeatedly listed as options to pair. If you go down the list trying to pair with the device at the top of the list, pairing will fail. One must pair with the device listing in last place. It looks like this:
Bose Speaker
Bose Speaker
Bose Speaker
Bose Speaker
Bose Speaker <--- this is the ONLY choice that works. I've had this problem repeatedly.

Love it when it is working. Which, sadly, is not most of the time. And Bose CS is worthless.
Bought from Amazon, about to return it because I'm so frustrated.
Android device, main issue is my device will not stay paired for more than a few hours.
Really sick and tired of pressing this and holding that and rebooting everything. For the money, I don't want something so fussy and demanding constant hand holding.

Worked fine at the beginning. Then problems started to creep in. First was on SKYPE where audio was not in sync with video. Then the connection problems began, unable to pair, and after much time, would connect with one device, then finally, no connection. Followed all the troubleshooting steps. Still nothing. Wow, can you expect this from Bose. I guess so. Buyer beware!

Hello Bose Staff
Don’t you ever read the complaints and offer remedies? My frustration has been voiced by others, but there are never any answers.
I’ll describe my problem just on the offchance; battery charged, device paired ( after removing it and re pairing, to make sure ). No other devices using the bluetooth. When I press connect minibose, there is a 2 second breakoff while the bose tries to take over and then its back to my internal speakers. The handover fails, although it remains connected. I tried many times with the same result.
The minibose has always been tricky and temperamental, but now it’s downright failure, and I feel as frustrated as many other users who wrote here. AnneL
Anne - Yanıt

I have had this device for several years and keep going back to “troubleshooting” almost every time I use it . I replaced the battery and that was an expensive mistake.

Is the Bose Soundlink Mini (not a 2) unable to update the firmware as does the Bose Soundlink Mini 2?
To me, it appears my iphones have received an iOS update that no longer supports Bose Soundlink Mini (not a 2).

Found my own solution. I removed the Bose Mini Soundlink(not a 2) from iPhone list of Bluetooth Devices. Then let the iPhone re-discover the Bose!
-I’m back in business.

Used to work great, turn on speaker, would immediately connect to my phone and play music. Now it says it connects and nothing. Using iphone 8. In my bluetooth devices it says it’s connected. When I go to use something like pandora, it plays only thru phone speaker and when I check thru the app, it only gives iphone as an option. I can connect to other blue tooth devices without issue. I’ve reset the speaker by holding the bluetooth button 10 seconds, i’ve forgotten device thru the phone and restarted phone multiple times, but nothing works for me. anything else I can try?

Mine stopped working while in use!
It was plugged in at the time so I am wondering how it could be the battery!
If being used on AC should it not still work with a bad battery?
I love the unit but I am not sure if purchasing a new battery will solve the problem?

Our speaker keeps disconnecting. We use an aux cord because I find Bluetooth too frustrating when switching devices. Doesn’t matter the device it will play for 30 seconds or sometimes minutes then cut out? Can it be reset. It’s the first generation speaker and it’s much loved and used. Maybe it’s coming to the end of its life? Approximately 6 years old. Any info would be appreciated

I sent mine in for a battery, and ever since it will NOT keep the Bluetooth Connection. I pair it to my Alexa, and have Alexa set to wake me up to the Local Radio Station, and in the Morning the Bluetooth connection is lost. Hooked up my Harmon-Kardon, and not a bit of problems. After sending it back TWICE, Bose states “We are unable to replicate the problem”

Any solutions for an original Sound Link Mini that will no longer pair with any BT device? There are no software updates available for my speaker. It’s a bummer because the speaker itself is in good working order, just won’t connect.

My Bose mini has worked great for a number of years. However, recently, it will not play anything even after pairing, even after a hard restart on all devices, even after ‘forget device’ etc…. I’ve tried everything. It looks like it pairs to my iPhone, no problem, but not music. Oh well…. maybe I should be happy that I got 5 years of good listening through it. This $@$* is maddening though.

My Bose Mini has a red blinking light. This is not a Mini II. I see a few posts with the same problem. I did buy a new battery off Amazon and replaced it. It still blinks red. I tried to hold the mute button down for 10 seconds and the 3 blue lights flash and when I let go of the mute button the red light flashes again. Someone must know how to fix this? Is there a way to put a boost charge on the battery In the event it is absolutely dead?

Thanks Guys - I had skipping problems with my Soundlink Mini. Did all the usual stuff that didn’t work. Stumbled across your web site and read the section on interference.

The “Too many devices on the pairing list“ option resolved my issue. By following the steps to clear my pairing list corrected my Bose Soundlink Mini speaker to work again. On my speaker, I pressed and held the Bluetooth button for about 10 seconds until I heard a noise. The speaker cleared all Bluetooth devices from its memory and as be able to be discovered. Thank You!

After about a year or two all it does is just starting “popping”; can’t connect, can’t reset, can’t do anything with it. Not the estimated product life. It’s been on my desktop for most of the time, so it didn’t get any rough handling in that sense.

Hi
I'm using the mini for a class. It will at random times disconnect from my computer or maybe turn off, and then the sound will be off for a while. Is there a way to turn off this periodic disconnect and stay connected to my computer?
nivashni0909 - Yanıt
My Bose Sound Link Mini is also frustrating it was easy at the beginning but if I stop using it for a week or two it takes an act of God to make it work again. I will certainly don’t buy another one. Every step of the connection has been checked repeatedly and the App says that is fine so is my computer. My computer says: paired sound and music or something similar. The device says its ready to be paired but nothing else. No sound. Bose speakers shouldn’t be that capricious.

Suzanne - Yanıt
My Soundlink Mini used to work fine, was always on the docking plate, charging till I use it. Then, after several months not using it and welling to do so, I got "red flashing light". After several recharging trial, got... this time got "all light flashing", and battery light was flashing yellow. Ordered another battery and still the same flashing lights. Remove the battery and try to see the result either via the cradle or direct power connection, still having the same flashing lights. Did the recommended troubleshooting and several reset as recommended from the Bose site, still the same. Did even connect music via the direct sound input jack, still the same. Took it partially apart to see if there be some burnt or damage component, no traces of anything wrong. So, at this time, I do not know what to do, to look for, how to repair it or what is the problem. Can anyone help me in this endeavour? Thank you
