JBL speaker no longer turns on: Tips and advice

If your JBL speaker suddenly won’t turn on, there could be many reasons for this.

• The most common cause is a defective or empty battery. If the battery is completely discharged, the speaker will not turn on.
• Try charging the JBL speaker for at least one hour before turning it on again. If the problem persists, the battery may be damaged and need to be replaced.
• Software problems may also prevent you from turning on speakers, smartphones, and other devices such as computers. Outdated firmware or faulty updates can cause the JBL speaker to malfunction.
• Check whether there are any available updates for your device. You can do this via the JBL Portable app (Android/iOS). Then install them to fix any software errors.
• The power button itself may be defective. If the button is stuck or not working properly, the speaker may not respond to your inputs. Check that it is working properly and, if necessary, clean it carefully to remove any blockages.
• Another problem could be a hardware defect. Sometimes internal components such as the power supply unit or the circuits are affected.
• In such cases, you should consider having the speaker checked by a specialist. This will ensure that there is no permanent damage.

JBL speaker no longer turns on: Troubleshooting battery problems

• One of the most common problems is a defective charging cable. Test the cable on another device to make sure it is working properly. If the cable is damaged, you should replace it with a new, compatible cable.
• The charging port on the speaker may also be dirty or damaged. Check the port for visible dirt or damage and clean it carefully with a soft cloth or compressed air can. Make sure that no foreign objects are interfering with the charging process.
• Sometimes the problem lies with the adapter or the power source. Try a different adapter or power outlet to see if the speaker charges there. A weak or unstable power source can interfere with the charging process.
• If the JBL speaker still does not charge, the problem may be inside the speaker. A defective battery or damaged charging electronics require professional assistance. Contact the manufacturer or an authorized repair service to have the problem fixed.
