Fix the blinking red light issue on the Bose Soundlink Mini 2 Speaker in 10 minutes!

My first upload, hope y'all find it helpful! :-)

This video was shot entirely on an iPad Pro 3rd generation, sorry for the sound quality (background noise).

Tried everything that BOSE recommended but yours was the only thing that WORKED!

Just like everyone else BOSE couldn't help me. I watched this and 2 minutes later my speaker was fixed, after me not using it for 2 YEARS!!! I cannot thank you enough!!!

Thanks for the instructions on accessing the Bose app backdoor. As a UI/UX developer, it blows me away why Bose doesn't just go ahead and put in an "Advanced Settings" capability that is accessible with a button. Having a backdoor in the application for firmware reset, at this day-and-age, is ridiculous. Sincere thanks techTOP!

Don't think I have ever left a comment on youtube, but this is thoroughly deserved, thank you so much for this, it worked brilliantly. my wife has tinnitus and really relies on her Bose to mask it. Thank you again!

April 2024 and this method saved me from buying a new one. I had the red flashing light problem. My speaker turned on with 60% battery. THANK YOU!

Was ready to return my speaker to Bose...for the 2nd time....and then I saw your video. I have watched many videos trying to fix this issue with no luck and your video has my speaker fixed in less than 10 minutes. Thank you!

Ive had my speaker sitting in my drawer for 6 months. I bought it, used it once and it stopped working.... this actually works and i thank you so much🙌😂😂

[geraldjin]

Thank you so much, I haven't used my SoundLink 2 in over a year since that happen, because Bose wanted to charge me $100 to fix. You are a life saver my friend. It work on the first try.

[carstenphilipp]

you are my hero! I had to sent my Soundlink already twice to Bose Support to get it repaired. but this solved it instantly

Thanks so much for putting this up, after 2 years I thought my speaker was a goner 100%. I cannot believe it’s working again! Thank you!!

This was my last option, Bose website doesn't tell you about advanced more or forcing an update. This worked to fix my Bose Soundlink Mini II. Would not operate at all on battery alone, would only flash red fast blinking light on electric plug. Bose website said my product was up to date. I did the forced install to install the 1.1.4 update again and my speaker works great again. Thank You so much for this video. Please keep up the awesome job.

Can’t thank you enough, Bose were about to charge me a replacement fee and this was my last option and it worked!!

This took me a few times on a Windows machine, but finally got to the advanced menu and re-installed the firmware which did wake up my speaker (which was at 70% power!). Thank you. This video should be on the Bose website.

This is the best! Tried so many other videos and none worked. Thank you so much for this easy and fast tutorial. Really solved the problem! 🎉

[tiffanyv]

I am super grateful for this video, I was struggling like hell trying to fix my mom's speaker, thank you!!

[mitchellperkins]

ADV UP Down OMG!!! Why do BOSE not publish this anywhere on the support pages. Thanks mate. You're a lifesaver.

Okay, what the damn hell? Most YouTube stuff usually never works but this actually worked... I was seriously about 5 minutes away from just tossing this thing in the trash too. A little note to others, after the update, my blinking red light turned solid red instead and I had to plug the USB into the speaker itself to charge. It still wouldn't charge on the dock. I had to charge all the way with the cable first and then dock charging worked again..Again, thanks a lot. I can't even imagine what I would have had to go through with Bose's customer support. Thanks for saving me the headache!

[timewastifcation]

Perfect. You've saved all of us precious time and $. You rock, Z.

[barnabas]

I almost wanted to throw away my speaker, but great that I saw your video, and it's now work again!

YOU. ARE. A. LEGEND.
Thank you so much. This had me flummoxed for a few weeks and so glad i found this video. I watched about 5 others, including the official Bose one (where they do not offer this information up). This has brought portable music back into our lives after a couple of months trying to fix this....
