Speakers Are Not Providing Sound
The speakers won't play sound.
Device is off
Make sure the device is actually turned on. If it is off, then it cannot establish a connection with a device.
No battery life left
Sometimes, no battery can be mistaken for audio problems. If the batteries are drained, then the device wouldn't work. Remove the drained batteries and try new ones.
Volume is turned off on speaker or device
Make sure that the volume on the speakers is turned up sufficiently enough by adjusting the volume wheel on the speaker. Then make sure that the device connected to the speaker has its volume setting at an adequate level.
Bluetooth connection is not established
Make sure that Bluetooth on the speaker is on. This is the button close to the power button. There should be a light to indicate it is working.
Interference
If the speaker is within close proximity to devices that are known to cause interference, (radios, microwaves, phones), then the speaker can give out feed back. Make sure it is a good distance away from devices that are known to cause interference.
Bluetooth Is Not Working
Cannot establish a connection between the speaker and your other devices.
Bluetooth is off
If the light on the Bluetooth button is off, press the button to turn on Bluetooth. The Bluetooth button is right beside the power button. Make sure to turn on Bluetooth on the connecting devices as well.
Devices are too far from each other
Place the speaker and the connecting device closer to each other. Bluetooth connection range can vary between different devices.
Low battery level
Make sure to charge both the speaker and the connecting device. Some of the devices may automatically turn off Bluetooth if the battery level is too low.
Unstable connection
Restart the Bluetooth on the speaker and the connecting device by turning Bluetooth off and on again. Sometime the Bluetooth connection can be very unstable for many reasons. The quickest way to solve this kind of problem is to restart Bluetooth and reestablish connections.
Interference
Move the speaker and the connecting devices away from Wi-Fi router. The Wi-Fi signal can sometimes interfere with Bluetooth.
Speaker Won’t Turn On
The device won't turn on.
Battery is dead

Buttons Don’t Respond

The battery could be dead

The button module could be broken
The button module could be broken. To remedy this try replacing the button module. Look at the repair guides for more information on replacing parts. See our on replacement guide how to replace the buttons
Device Unexpectedly Turns Off
The device will turn off without pressing the power button.
The battery could be low on battery
The battery could be low or be dead. Plugging it into the the charger will charge the battery.
The battery could be defective
The battery could be defective and no longer wants to hold a charge. Replacing the battery will fix the defective battery. Simple remove the battery panel, take out the old batteries, and put in fresh ones. See our Battery Replacement Guide

Where can I get a battery from for jbl charge 2 plus?
khiaterrell - Reply
My Charge 2+ is brand new, everything is working, but it doesn't charge my phone or any other, like there's no any electricity received, I tried both the Jbl USB wire and my phone charging wire and nothing happens at all, anyone know why or what to do?!

When I play music over aux, the speakers randomly make a sound, turn off and back on again. These little restarts are very frequent and very annoying! What could it be?

If you put linked the box with bluetooth to my phone it makes a hard annoying beep (and a lady that says something like 'bluetooth connected' . Can I turn it off or reduce the louddyness?
John - Reply
Got the same problem. All System Sounds seems to bee very loud. When adjusting the volume and the limit is reached, no matter if it is the + or - limit, the Charge makes a very loud "beep". I would like to reduce the system sound.
How can this be done?

Something weird happened today to my personal Charge 2+, this morning, I used it to listen to music and everything was fine. However, this afternoon, when I wanted I turned it on to play some music, it didn't make a sound when I turned it on, it also didn't make any sound when a bluetooth connection was established, when playing music or when turning it off. Nothing happened to it between this morning and this afternoon. What could be the cause?

Btw I have owned it for over a year by now if that matters

Help, son was trying to do update on his JBL purse but failed and now speaker constantly flashing on and off his n white and won't switch off?? Any ideas what to do?
Michelle Lindsay - Reply
My JBL CHARGE 2+ switches on normally and even connects to bluetooth. The issue is that it is stuck on a low volume and even after pressing the volume + button it doesnt go up. I can slow down the music till its completely low, and when i max it back up the volume increases but only to a very low volume. i Reset the speaker too, but its not working.

My Jbl Charge is my one thing I love but lately it seems to give out poor sound quality, it seems to be a fuzzy noise that only can be heard at certain Herts but it's only on the left side
Trying to work out if I need a new speaker or woofer in it
Any help?
Jake Marshall - Reply
My JBL Pulse 2 is brand new, I charged it fully and it was working fine until it first ran out of battery. When i charge it, it flashes one blue light indicating that it is charging, however hours later it is still flashing the same one blue light and when i go to play a song, it works for about 2 minutes until it turns off and is out of battery again.

Mine shuts off every half hour, and the sound quality has deteriorated a lot since I bought it less than 3 months ago. I want to throw it in the garbage.

I've tried everything I can but the social mode function on the JBL Charge2+ isn't working. All the other buttons are fine, but the lights are constantly on. Anyone experiencing the same problem? I have 2 speakers, and it doesn't work on both so I'm pretty sure that it's not a one-off problem. Thanks in advance.

Same here, my power button has been on for about a week and it wont respond to anything. Unfortunately I had fully charged the speaker the night before and only used it for a couple of minutes before it became unresponsive. I have yet to find a fix and i'm just waiting for it to die to see if it becomes responsive again.
Abiel C. - Reply
Same here, now what should I do ??
Raghu -
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I SEARCHED IN GOOGLE AND PEOPLE SAY REPLACING IS THE ONLY WAY. ONLY POWER BUTTON STAYS ON AND NO RESPONSE. its because you used your speaker until the very end battery. so it drained all the energy left in speaker. try charging your phone through usb cable if its a jbl charge. mine was charge 2 plus. then it will automatically turn off. be patient and wait for one hour or half until the battery drains out. after that just turn on and it will work as normal. charge it and use. hope this will help for everyone. cuz i saw many having the same problem. have a great day for all these music lovers.

Auxiliary works fine, however no music on Bluetooth connection. I've tried a reset, power drain and charge, it gets successfully paired, and I can make calls also, it's just the music that doesn't play on the speakers. Can you please help?
Talha Tahir - Reply
Okay so I turned my speaker I heard the regular static noise an then I saw the red low battery indication an it sounded like it shorted an it turned itself off. I went plugged an plugged the charger into the speaker the power button illuminated but not the lights to indicate it was charging. I let it sit a while longer, came back took it off the charger an the device is completely unresponsive sitting with the power light on. What could have happened? I had just used the buttons to turn on the device an I heard sound, it was charging just not indicating it was charging but now now completely unresponsive.

Had trouble with both interference when connected with an audio cable to a MacBook, and also failure to maintain a bluetooth connection to the MacBook. Both problems fixed with a factory reset: with speaker powered on, hold volume “+” button and “phone” button simultaneously for about 5 seconds.

Hi there,
my device works just fine, but it kills chargers !
Now I have a protected charger and when I plug in the speakers, it immediately shuts down. As if it would consume too much. Any Ideas ?
