Oh my goodness! I bought a new charging cable, plugged it in, pressed the mute button for 10 seconds and now I have my speaker back!! Turns out the old charger was knackered! Thank you so much for this, I’m so happy to have my awesome Bose speaker back and working!!!!
My Soundlink 3 was intermittently turning off, then finally wouldn’t charge at all. With the charger hooked up, I pressed and held the Mute button for about 15 seconds. Now, it looks like the battery is charging! Great fix!
I just tried holding down the mute button for 15 seconds and my speaker roared back into action. Thank you so much for the great advice fix?It truly works. Since my device was 1st gen I may order a new battery just in case, though I normally use the speaker under ac power.
With no sound it just seemed like a joke. I tried anyway. Then I read some comments in the thread. They suggested that I hold down the mute button for 15 seconds. It still seemed to fail, but then, like magic, it started working again!!! Thank you, thank you!!!
After changing the battery, the Bose Sl3 continued to flash the red light even though the battery was full. The reset method didn't work, the speaker remained in protection mode. To deactivate the protection, I fed 12V back into the two docking station pins. Now it works perfectly.
I have the Bose Soundlink 2 and I guess my battery had drained causing it to go into some strange mode. Even after plugging it in it wasn’t charging and looked completely dead. The only sign of life was a beep when plugging it in or unplugging it. I tried holding down the mute for 10 seconds but it didn't work if it wasn't plugged into power. I had to plug it into power, then hold mute for 10 seconds until the lights lit up to say it was rebooting, and it's working again!! :-)
This was happening to me too. I have the Bose Soundlink 2. I held the mute button down for 10 seconds and that rebooted the system and it works great now. Thank you!
Hi, thank you very much for this video. I was wondering why my Bose SoundLink wasn't turning on or even showing a charging light but now it shows the battery indicator and I was able to connect with Bluetooth. Thanks again
I did everything and it still doesn’t work on mine, only a flashing red light when plugged into power but nothing else, even when I press the mute button and reboots nothing else seems to happen the red light keeps flashing and when I try to turn it on when it’s plugged in or when it’s not nothing happens, what should I do?
Hi, can anyone please guide me with my bose soundlink III. i had it for almost 3 years. this time round i was trying to increase the sound by pressing the + and it stuck on AUX. i have tried switching it off and on and also tried pressing all the nobs but its still stuck on AUX. Thank you
Try to push and hold the mute button for 15-20sec until it show the blink,or plug the charger and do the same method, or else no choice ,replace a new battery
Hi , I had also the same problem with my bose speaker that I also press the Mute button for long but the white light blinking but it’s not get rebooted
please anyone help me to start BOSE SoundLink III Bluetooth Wireless Speaker . its not charing and light is not blinking .so please if anyone how to fix it please tell me
Pressing and holding the mute button for 10 seconds worked for me too. After pressing the mute button, I pressed the power-on button and the unit turned came back to life. (Note, the unit was unplugged for 2 months before I did this procedure, so it was likely in power saving mode.) I also saved buying a new battery. Thank you!
It also worked for me ! I had the unit unplugged for a while and was looking for a video on how to replace battery before buying new battery in amazon. Uff, that was close!. With unit still unplugged I pressed mute button for around 20 secs and no lights (battery was drained I guess). So, plugged unit and red battery light was flashing. Pressed mute again and before 20 sec all light were blinked,. Then pressed Bluetooth and paired my iphone and voila!
I bought a battery..it was no use. Then, I took a multimeter to measure the voltage the source was delivering. If you look at the source it is said that 17v 1A. However, mine was with 15V. The main symptom is that it was making a sound of connecting and disconnecting. Soon I bought a fountain and everything was resolved. Sorry my english...google help´s me, ok.
Just watching the above video clips which doesn't have any sound or explanation, I didn't get it. After resetting like you said, it works good now. Thank You so much!
there's no sound (on your vid) :( and irony is I came here because I couldn't get my speaker to charge, turn on anything. it connects when it's plugged in for a split second, but nothing... And your vid is dead quiet... no sound, so not sure if it was meant to be a silent vid.
Update for my SL3 after a long years not using it ,finaly! I fix it by replaced a new battery , don't have any other option.
Im happy now😊
Where did you buy the battery?
@@thanhbui-dv4rr amazon sir disasemble your speaker batery look for the model no.

@@thanhbui-dv4rr around 30-40$ sir my wife bought for me
Please let me know if you don't like SL3 anymore bro haha. I want to own that one on my collection 😄

It worked like magic 15 secs of Aux then 15secs of mute button. Then plug in power and it starts charging. Thank you ❤
Wow it does work 😊😊

Brilliant. Thank you!
Speaker stopped working unexpectedly. Took apart and everything looked good. Found your video and back in business!
Mute button did the trick for me! Held it down for about 15-20 seconds and it’s working again. 🥳🤩
Worked! Thought this was just a brick on my counter anymore. And headed for the garbage. Thanks so much!
This should work on 1, 2 and 3. I should hope..?
thanks this worked to reset my speaker and it's now back alive.
Ha - even the manual didn’t have this info. Thanks for this. It worked for me as well !!
That's crazy I can't believe that worked, copied everything you did. Thankyou!!!
I was skeptical about halfway through, but it worked! Thank you!

Best regard. What are those pins?
What do you mean by “what are those pins” ? There are only two pins on the SL3 and they are useful for the charging station.
Thank you... l followed ...your proses working perfectly now❤
You are great man... It worked🎉🎉🎉
Thank You so MUCH! I was thinking it was broke ! I thought I just hadn't used it enough. 😃

Of course, it is always good to remember the protection mode it activates. IF that doesn't work, test the above.
Sorry I didn't undesrtand. What was the problem?
@@StefanoSina power dc. Not battery.
Yay! I've tried everything, even buying a new battery, but nothing helped. Using a charger with a higher voltage did the job. Thank you! 🙏

It doesn’t work for me. The green lights come on and the minute I take my hand off the mute, it stops

there's no sound (on your vid) :( and irony is I came here because I couldn't get my speaker to charge, turn on anything. it connects when it's plugged in for a split second, but nothing... And your vid is dead quiet... no sound, so not sure if it was meant to be a silent vid.
YAY... I FOLLOWED THE THINGS YOU WERE DOING AND IT'S WORKING.... THANK YOU SO MUCH! BRILLIANT!
why is there no sound on this vid?
Skip the crazy silent video with 50 button pushes and no explanation....plug in and hold the Mute for 15 seconds... done
