    Great video! Just had a similar experience with a Bose Soundlink Mini my girlfriend had around but hadn't used in years. Similar to you, I plugged in a AC cable but didn't have any lights showing up like yours did. However, I was using the power supply from my Logitech Steering wheel, which was 24volts, to no luck! After you said you had picked up your lower voltage router PSU, I ran and grabbed a spare I had under my bed and hey presto! Instant lights and seems to be working!
    Moral of the story, make sure you have the correct voltage power supply, more powerful ones will not work at all (from my experience).

    Thank you for the video. As you can see you don't need to replace the battery to repair the bose soundlink mini!!! Just plug in to the side directly a charger with 12V 1Amp and IT WILL start to charge!!!! If not take the battery out and reinsert it and try again!!! IT WORKS!!! Congrats! I just save you $30 replacement battery and time. Your welcome.

    Hi Steve. Having stumbled across your channel recently, I viewed and enjoyed the one the algorithm offered. I subscribed immediately as this is just the kind of quirky nonsense that appeals to me. I thought I’d go back and see where it all started. We’ll, you have come on, haven’t you! I love the humour and self-depreciation. I can now waste hours of my spare time smiling and chuckling. (I wish I had your level of skill by the way).

    Great! I'm the world's worst at using 'instructions' so frequently find such issues difficult to remedy. I've learned that Bose Sound Link mini can require resetting since finding mine wouldn't charge (re-charge). Also, I now use the charger power in plug directly into the speaker - not the base and it seems to work fine now. Regards! MickFromHooe.

    I am having one that I fixed after many attempts. It couldn't power on the amplifier, so no sound. Believe that other similar symptoms are related to it. The ribbon connector on I/O board was oxydated. This is the small board you attached the power supply, sound input etc. Just carefully remove the back mesh and the green board is well exposed. The white ribbon connector is taped with gray sponge. R

    Normally you find the item is already up to date, and the only way around this is to cut the wires linking the battery to to the electronic board inside and re solder them in on the replacement battery if you can find a decent one , if not it’ll end up like any other battery powered item .In the bin!

      Sorry to hear that Hero. If you've tried resetting and a new battery, then I think it will likely be the firmware that is at fault. Unfortunately, unless you have a version 2, then you can't reflash the firmware and it will have to go in for repair or back to Bose 😫
