Dropped my Bose mini soundlink 2 from about a foot off the ground and there's a rattling sound on some notes, especially at an increased volume. (Wasn't there before the drop) Is that a blown speaker? Repair advice?

Thanks!

I bought a replacement (not from ifixit, although it was tagged as "original" but it could be fake) and replaced the battery as per ifixit guide. It turns on now no problem. The probem starts when i play music with heavy base. at 40% volume it plays no problem , but at 50% it sounds that the base is clipping or something like that, at 80% when a heavy base comes the soundlink mini outright shutsdown and reset.

Have anyone experienced this problem? Could it be the battery? I really dont have a bench powersupply that can give it a high headroom of power. Or im just unlucky and i have a burnt circuit inside

Any idea, what to check if just the LEDs are the problem? Any loosen connector?

It happens just between two days of normal usage :-/

Making a "factory reset" did not solve the problem.

Battery tests good.

The speaker doesn't power on.

I made the mistake of using a LiPo battery charger on my Bose SoundLink Mini 2 and it hasn’t worked properly since. I think it has damaged the charge controller or possibly the main board.

I have already replaced the battery and boost PCB board (part number 088772) with a brand new one but nothing has changed. I tried doing a firmware update through btu.bose.com but the computer won’t detect the speaker through the micro USB port. I have also tried multiple button reset combinations including holding the power button for 30 seconds and the forced firmware sequence A, D, V, Up Arrow, Down Arrow but none of it has worked. I have left it on wall charge for a good while too.

At the moment the only thing it does is flash yellow when I hold the multifunction button while connected to power. The computer doesn’t detect it at all through micro USB even with a known data cable. The gold charging contacts seem fine and the PCB looks clean with no burn marks or anything obviously wrong with it.

What I really want to know is whether there is any kind of hardware level reset possible on the main board, and whether this could be a blown charging IC or fuse that someone could identify and replace. Also wondering if the main board itself is replaceable.

Any advice would be really appreciated, I’d love to save this speaker if at all possible. Thanks

Hi All,

Can you please help me the exact values of these capacitors and the 2 missing, It's hard to check since there are no Component Labelling in the Mainboard.

Thank you
