power indicator blinking red
I bought my SL iii last month, and yesterday when I use it, it can not be charged and power on.
ANSWERS:
"This is a bug with the firmware where the battery seems to get locked in low power mode if it runs down too far. I had this problem and tried every suggestion found online with no success. After much back and forth with BOSE support, the following finally worked:
1. Plug your speaker into a computer using the USB cable.
2. Go to btu.bose.com in a browser window. Download the software if you don’t have it and launch it.
3. The webpage should change to show it has launched. If it says there are updates available then choose to install them. This should fix it.
4. If it says the software is already up to date, then press the following keys in order: A,D,V,Up arrow, Down arrow. That should now give you the option to downgrade the software. Choose a downgrade and then Apply Changes.
That is what brought mine back to life. You can upgrade the software again after that."
Blinking Red indicates charge is needed. If the battery is drained it will continue to blink red while charging until there is enough charge. I would let it charge completely before trying to use it this time until the battery light turns green indicating battery is fully charged. If needed, you can do a SoundLink speaker reset, following these steps:
I had this problem to red light blinking ,I downgraded and its working ! But before you start you have to download current update on your pc
Had same problem - flashing red light. Tried reset (twice) no good. Removed battery (following ifixit guide) in preparation for replacing battery, but on a whim, reinstalled battery a little while later. Plugged in charger, and noted battery light now glowing (charging). All seems to be working again.
I’m having same issue with my Bose Soundlink Mini-2, did reset by pressing Power button (>10 sec) or pressing Multifunction button (>10sec…), doesn’t work, then luckily find this website, tried to do downgrading the firmware at but.bose.com…
