Won't power on or charge

ANSWERS:

"Check your charger first. If it has the right voltage, you might want to see if internal connections are all in place and that the power jack is firmly in place.

Let me hear of your results.

(it is not recommended but a common practice to suck on the power jack (if under 12 V) to see if it has current if you have no measuring tool. f it does, you should feel a tingling sensation on you tongue, much like as with licking a battery just a lot stronger depending on voltage)"

I got a broken one from a friend. It was missing charge port and pads. So I ran a usb cable to the trace points. Plugged it in. No less. Not turning on…getting 5 volts at the battery and getting voltages within range on the main board too. Gonna try the reset:

I had the same problem and purchased a USB port repair kit from this seller. It worked like a charm.

Battery shows 127% on mine and it will not power on unless plugged in. This leads me to think the micro usb charger port is loose and the voltage is feeding back into the pc to show 127% this may make some sense as it would require x voltage to run the speaker and y voltage to charge the battery and run the speaker - this may well = 127% of charge - any thoughts?

It sounds like the battery is either bad or came disconnected or possibly another cable between where the USB port is and the battery is loose. Check all cables and clips and make sure everything is seated correctly. Also take note of the shape of the battery. If it looks puffy and bloated it is going bad or is bad and is unsafe. If you smell anything funny coming from the battery it is Li-Ion gasses and another sign you need a new battery.
