Chosen Solution
My JBL Flip 4 doesn’t turn on and charge. It was playing good whole evening, but after that time that I turned it off it doesn’t turn on anymore. When I plugged it in with different chargers it gives no response and battery indicator lights are not highlighted. Tried to reset by holding power button 30 sec, didn’t help. Please, if someone know something about this problem, please help.
If your JBL Flip 4 speaker refuses to turn on, see the JBL Flip 4 Won’t Turn On problem page for possible causes and solutions. If your JBL Flip 4 speaker will not charge or won’t hold a charge, see the JBL Flip 4 Will Not Charge Or Won’t Hold a Charge problem page for possible causes and solutions. Connect to the charger and once you see light on remove charger, press connect + button and volume up together until it turns off, it solved mine, the same problem.
I had the same problem! So yesterday I divided to take it apart and I actully got it to work agian! What you want to redo is take off all of the outside casing and expose the raw wiring of the on button. Once exsposed take off the rubber protected and you’ll find a rectangular ciurxit board connected to a flat blue wire. Unlatch the wire and put it back in and the lights should flash. I will say that it will likely not be water proof so take it with a grain of salt. Let me know if that works.
By any chance did you drop you speaker? Chances are the small blue plug inside came unplugged from the impact check on youtube for disassemble video then remove rubber where lights are located there you will see the blue cable to plug back in alittle difficult but doable hope this helps
I’m so proud of myself!! I figured it out! You need to go back to the original charging connector. Do not use your regular phone connector it does not charge. I had this happen with two of my speakers. Recharged perfectly with correct speaker charge cable!!
I had the same problem but I noticed that by turning it on its side the charger dots started blinking. I am now recharging fine while it’s on its side. It has fallen to the ground several times so maybe something is loose inside.
I had the same problem. while I was on my bike I accidentally pressed some button combination possibly JBL Connect + Volume up It didnt turn on again. then I opened it up, rooted around without any result and closed it up again. not very difficult BUT BEFORE you open it up try the reset option plug it in, as soon as you hear the “here I am” sound remove the cable and press Volume UP and Play / Pause buttons at the same time and hold them until a hard reset occurs. here are some button combinations for the charge 3 I found on reddit JBL Connect + Volume down says the firmware number and blinks battery level diodes matching said numbers (coincidence?) Volume down + Bluetooth 10sec turns off inbuilt EQ (and limiter?) JBL Connect + Volume up weird mode, possibly FW update mode (to go back, connect to powersource and hold the combination again) Volume up + Play/Pause resets the speaker lets all bug JBL about releasing the button combinations for Flip 4 as they are nowhere to be found #JBLCmon
you need a new speaker if it was a hot day im guessing that the speaker over heated and something fryed dont think about fixing it fixing those take a wile sorry bro but gotta get a new one
