Der Lautsprecher geht nicht an, obwohl er an die Stromversorgung angeschlossen ist
Mein Lautsprecher geht nicht an, ist jedoch mit der Stromversorgung verbunden.
Schlechte Verbindung mit der Ladeschale
Stelle sicher, dass der Lautsprecher gut mit einer funktionierenden Steckdose verbunden ist.
Stelle sicher, dass die Verbindungen des Lautsprechers und der Stromquelle keine Probleme aufweisen.
Solltest du Überspannungsschutzschalter verwenden, stellt sicher, dass dieser korrekt funktioniert.
Fehlerhafter Stromadapter/ Ladegerät
Wenn der Lautsprecher nicht angeht, kann z.B. ein defekter Stromadapter dafür verantwortlich sein. In der Folge kann es sein, dass du einen neuen kaufen musst.
Stelle sicher, dass du den mitgelieferten Ladeadapter verwendest. Andere Ladeadapter könnten nicht kompatibel sein.
Der Lautsprecher geht im Akkubetrieb nicht an
Der Akku ist geladen, aber der Lautsprecher geht nicht an.
Die Lautsprechereinstellungen funktionieren nicht
Sollte der Lautsprecher in den letzten 14 Tagen nicht geladen oder benutzt worden sein, wird ein Sicherungsmodus aktiviert. Um diesen Modus zu verlassen, muss das Gerät wieder an eine Steckdose angeschlossen werden.
Fehlerhafter Akku/ Fehlerhafter Ladevorgang
Sollte die Akkuleistung des Gerätes schlecht sein, könnte es sein, dass du ihn ersetzen muss. Klicke auf diesen Link um zu sehen, wie du den Akku ersetzen kann.
Der Lautsprecher hat scheinbar eine Verbindung, spielt allerdings keine Musik ab
Die Bluetooth Kontrollleuchte zeigt zwar eine Verbindung an, spielt allerdings keine Musik ab, wenn ich einen Song starte.
Probleme mit der Konnektivität / Tonwiedergabe
Obwohl der SoundLink Mini eine Verbindung mit deinem Gerät anzeigt, kann es sein, dass keine Verbindung bestehen. Schaue in die Bluetootheinstellungen deines Gerätes um sicherzugehen, dass es mit dem SounLink Mini verbunden ist.
Das Gerät besitzt Einstellungen, welche die Audiowiedergabe zulässt. Sollten diese Einstellungen in diesem Moment nicht auf Audiowiedergabe eingestellt sein, wird kein Signal zum SoundLink Mini übertragen.
Solltest du andere Geräte haben, die Bluetooth zu gleichen Zeitpunkt verwenden, solltest du diese, den Lautsprecher und das Bluetoothegerät, das du versucht zu verbinden, ausschalten. Schalte nun nur den Lautsprecher und das Gerät, mit dem du ihn verbinden möchtest, wieder an.
Probleme mit den Lautsprechereinstellungen
Ein mögliches Problem könnte darin liegen, dass die Lautstärke des SoundLink Mini zu gering, oder sogar auf stumm eingestellt ist. Versuche zunächst die Lautstärke einzustellen, um sicherzustellen, dass das nicht das Problem ist.
Sollte die Lautstärke jetzt auf ein hörbares Level eingestellt sein, schaue, dass die Lautstärke des verbundenen Bluetooth Gerätes ebenfalls richtig eingestellt ist.
Keine Wiedergabe vom Bluetooth Gerät
Mein Lautsprecher spielt keine Musik von meinem Gerät ab.
SoundLink Mini Einstellungen / Verbindungsprobleme
Stelle sicher, dass der SoundLink Mini nicht auf stumm geschaltet ist und dass die Lautstärke auf das gewünschte Level eingestellt ist. Außerdem kannst du nachschauen, ob der SoundLink Mini eine Verbindung mit deinem gewünschten Gerät anzeigt.
Wenn das von dir genutzte Gerät ebenfalls eine Verbindung anzeigt, stelle sicher, dass dieses Gerät mit dem SoundLink Mini via Bluetooth verbunden ist und die Lautstärke dort ebenfalls auf einem adäquaten Level eingestellt ist.
Ein weiteres Problem könnte sein, dass dein Gerät außerhalb der Reichweite des Bluetoothsignals ist. Bewege dieses Gerät in die Reichweite des SoundLink Mini um sicherzustellen, dass die Verbindung funktioniert.
Als letzte Möglichkeit kannst du den SoundLink mini aus- und danach wieder einschalten.
Interferenzen mit anderen Geräten
Manchmal können elektromagnetische Interferenzen anderer Geräte das Bluetoothsignal stören. Entferne diese Geräte vom SoundLink Mini um sicherzustellen, dass keine Störsignale auftreten und die Verbindung zum Gerät sicher ist. Geräte, welche die Verbindung beeinträchtigen können unter anderem sein: Mikrowellen, schnurlose Telefone, Netzwerkrouter und andere Bluetoothgeräte.
Sollten andere Geräte, die Bluetooth verwenden, vorhanden sein, schalte sie aus, oder stelle zumindest die Bluetoothfunktion dieser Geräte ab.
Keine Verbindung des Lautsprechers mit dem Bluetooth Gerät
Ich kann mein Bluetooth Gerät nicht mit dem Lautsprecher verbinden.
Keine Geräteverbindung möglich
Stelle sicher, dass die neueste Software auf dem SoundLink Mini installiert ist. Besuche hierfür das Support Center unter https://www.bose.com/support.html und suche nach dem aktuellsten Update. Sollte die Software bereits auf dem aktuellen Stand sein, könnte ein Reset notwendig sein. Das kann in ein paar einfachen Schritten erledigt werden.
Drücke und halte den Stummknopf für 10 Sekunden, die LED wird für einige Sekunden blinken.
Drücke als nächstes den Power Button, um den SoundLink Mini wieder anzuschalten.
Das Gerät hat Probleme mit der Verbindung
Viele Bluetoothgeräte bieten die Möglichkeit die Bluetoothfunktion an- und auszuschalten. Diese Funktion könnte ausgeschaltet sein, weil z.B. Akkuladung gespart werden soll. Stelle sicher, dass diese Funktion angeschaltet ist. Sollte der Lautsprecher mit einem Bluetooth Gerät verbunden sein, verbindet es sich automatisch wieder, wenn die Bluetoothfunktion angeschaltet ist. Sollte sich dieses Bose Produkt nicht automatisch wieder verbinden, kannst du den Lautsprecher manuell in deiner Bluetoothliste am Gerät auswählen.
Manche Geräte verbinden sich automatisch mit dem Gerät, allerdings nicht vollständig. Geh in die Verbindungsliste deines Gerätes und prüfe die Verbindung dort. Versuche den SoundLink Mini zu verbinden, wenn keine adäquate Verbindung besteht.
Zu viele Geräte auf der Verbindungsliste
Sollte das nicht helfen, musst du wahrscheinlich die Vebindungsliste des Gerätes mit den folgenden einfachen Schritten löschen.
Drücke und halte den Bluetooth Knopf am Gerät für ungefähr 10 Sekunden bis du ein Geräusch hörst. Der Lautsprecher wird alle Bluetooth Geräte aus seinem Speicher löschen und wird danach wieder in den Bluetooth Einstellungen zu finden sein.
Lösche die Liste auf dem Bluetooth Gerät. Für mehr Informationen und Hilfe dazu kannst du bei dem Hersteller des Gerätes nachfragen.
Sollten diese Schritte nicht helfen, versuche das Gerät nach folgender Anleitung wieder zu verbinden.
Schalte sowohl das Bluetooth Gerät und den Lautsprecher an, drücke und halte den Bluetooth Knopf am Lautsprecher für drei Sekunden, damit der Lautsprecher gefunden werden kann. Das Bluetooth Lämpchen wird langsam an- und ausgehen, um anzuzeigen, dass der Lautsprecher jetzt von anderen Geräten gefunden werden kann.
Schaue in der Bluetooth Verbindungsliste deines Gerätes nach und wähle "Bose SoundLink" aus dieser Liste aus.
Sollte dein Gerät nach einem Code fragen, gebe die Ziffern 0000 und drücke OK. Manche Geräte werden dich auch danach fragen, die Verbindung anzunehmen. Dein Bluetooth Gerät wird dir zeigen, wenn die Verbindung hergestellt wurde. Der SoundLink Mini Lautsprecher zeigt dir ebenfalls an, wenn das Verbinden erfolgreich war, indem das Bluetooth Lämpchen leuchtet und nicht mehr an- und aus geht.
Entfernung zwischen dem Gerät und dem Lautsprecher
Dieses System ist darauf ausgelegt, innerhalb einer Reichweite von ca. 9m zu funktionieren. Die Leistung hingegen kann durch Objekte wie z.B. Wände oder Metall und andere Bluetooth Geräte vermindert werden. Versuche den SoundLink Mini Lautsprecher näher an dein Bluetooth Gerät zu bringen.

I agree that this is the most frustrating device ever. And Bose is slow to help.
Maybe look elsewhere before you buy Bose.

Agree. Bose is simply not helpful. Not everything can be fixed with a reset and that is all they recommend. Plenty of other bluetooth speakers out there.

Try resetting the device by holding the Power Button for 10 seconds. It worked for me with this issue. You'll have to pair your devices afterwards again.

I have a problem with my Bose Mini that I haven't seen addressed yet. When I turn the volume up on my Bose Mini the speakers start to "crackle" and then they just shut off the speaker. I have to plug the power cord into the speaker to get it working again. Did I blow the speakers? Any thoughts? Thanks!
Brian Miller - Antwort
I have the same problem as you. It works well, has very clean sound. But 3 second after i play a song, it starts a noise and sounds suddenly gone. BUT, when I plug the charger, it keeps doing the same thing.
Nugraha Wicaksana -
When the Mac System Preferences Bluetooth menu window indicates that the Soundlink IS Connected, but you hear no sound, go to the Bluetooth icon at the very top of the screen and connect it THERE!! Why, I don't know, but it solved my problem. I love my Bose Soundlink, and don't understand other posts that hate them.
john henker - Antwort
My speaker just shuts off randomly for no reason. The battery is dooing fine.
michaelyoung3060 - Antwort

Peng Huang -
It has an auto shut off after 30 minutes of inactivity, I think you can fix the problem by holding down the AUX and the volume up button at the same time, it will give you options to change it.

Within 3 feet of my PC my Bose Mini will torture me to connect. Then after reload several times, it works BUT has a maddening "blip" interrupt in the music every 30 or 40 seconds. Read this is a common problems and BOSE is slow to response. (Still waiting on an answer from Bose support after 10 days and three emails ....)What an incredible waste of money... So disappointed.

sharonmiller81 - Antwort
This is so frustrating. I can't get it to pair with any Apple device. It works for a while and then stops. The trouble shooting does not help. This thing wasn't cheap. I thought Bose was a quality product???

Try “Forget this Device” in the iOS Bluetooth Settings, then perform a reset on the Soundlink (press mute for 10 seconds), then reconnect. A little frustrating, but works for me.

I cannot get my speaker to charge. The battery light comes on and makes the sound that it's charging for just a second and then nothing....it will not charge!
huffapril - Antwort
I'm getting something similar. If you plug it into the side of the speaker rather than the base plate it will probably charge. However for some reason the baseplate doesn't recognise the power. This is annoying though, because then you have to unplug it rather than just grab it. I only bought mine last week so am probably going to take it back and try for a different one...
Damian -
I have updated firmware on my speaker this morning and it stopped charging through docking station, it does exactly the same - "The battery light comes on and makes the sound that it's charging for just a second and then nothing". It was absolutely fine before when it had software version 1.0.11. Has anyone had any luck resolving this issue ?

Hey, has anyone figured out the just have flashing red light on battery, will not charge & have no sound? I'm trying to figure whether I need a new charger or battery. ..
Diana Wiley -
I'm curious about this, too. My speaker has worked fine for months, then, I turned it off last night and went to bed. This morning I woke up to find the red light flashing red really quickly. Nothing works. Reading the Bose websites makes it seem like I need to update software, but I can't get the speaker to turn on to connect. Any ideas? I love the Bose sound, but this is one of the most frustrating pieces of equipment I've ever owned!
Tom -
It’s not the speaker- it’s the battery. Do NOT purchase a new battery on I-Fix it, as I traced the cells to being manufactured in Malaysia but priced and marketed as OEM.
ifixit.com is the best resource for “How to’s” and has every tool on the planet for every device- high quality too.
Ifix it parts (especially batteries) are subpar unfortunately and highly overpriced.
use Ifix it as a resource for how to fix any/everything, and their tools are premium- but don’t buy their batteries or parts.
your red flashing light is simple to fix- you need a new battery which are cheap and better on Amazon. The iFixit Battery is NOT OEM, nor sourced from Panasonic nor Sanyo.
Go through Amazon for the battery- the tool is cheaper also and it’s just needed once (Torx).
If you want OEM- yes you’ll pay a lot and their not easy to get but try through BOSE outlet online.
The issue isn’t your speaker though.

jamiem608 - Antwort
Where can I purchase ONLY a battery? Bose A/S center in Korea is fuxxing expensive price to replace battery. Almost $90 .
So plz reply anyone who know where can I buy it!
louiswoong - Antwort
You can purchase aftermarket batteries- but you can’t purchase a BOSE OEM replacement- for that, BOSE requires you to mail the speaker in or bring into a BOSE authorized repair center.
Unfortunately- BOSE has adopted APPLE’s , business motto by locking consumers out of their products to fix or replace batteries, shifting the costs onto the consumer. Like Apple, you can’t buy OEM parts anywhere except through the company- but they won’t send them to you- they demand to install all purchased parts themselves, and provide no transparency of what the problem was. Just a way to keep the consumer stupid and needing them.
With that said- I did purchase 2 aftermarket 3rd party batteries for my SoundLink mini 1 from iFixit- both batteries were DOA- neither worked and when placed across a multimeter, the cells were not charged properly before shipping as they clocked at 6.xx colts… low enough for the speaker charging BMS chip to reject the battery with the red flashing lights of death.
You can’t hack the battery either.

tabitha - Antwort
On Windows 10, the Bluetooth settings lists the speaker multiple times, i.e., the name of the speaker is repeatedly listed as options to pair. If you go down the list trying to pair with the device at the top of the list, pairing will fail. One must pair with the device listing in last place. It looks like this:
Bose Speaker
Bose Speaker
Bose Speaker
Bose Speaker
Bose Speaker <--- this is the ONLY choice that works. I've had this problem repeatedly.

Love it when it is working. Which, sadly, is not most of the time. And Bose CS is worthless.
Bought from Amazon, about to return it because I'm so frustrated.
Android device, main issue is my device will not stay paired for more than a few hours.
Really sick and tired of pressing this and holding that and rebooting everything. For the money, I don't want something so fussy and demanding constant hand holding.

Worked fine at the beginning. Then problems started to creep in. First was on SKYPE where audio was not in sync with video. Then the connection problems began, unable to pair, and after much time, would connect with one device, then finally, no connection. Followed all the troubleshooting steps. Still nothing. Wow, can you expect this from Bose. I guess so. Buyer beware!
Robert Montgomery - Antwort
Hello Bose Staff
Don’t you ever read the complaints and offer remedies? My frustration has been voiced by others, but there are never any answers.
I’ll describe my problem just on the offchance; battery charged, device paired ( after removing it and re pairing, to make sure ). No other devices using the bluetooth. When I press connect minibose, there is a 2 second breakoff while the bose tries to take over and then its back to my internal speakers. The handover fails, although it remains connected. I tried many times with the same result.
The minibose has always been tricky and temperamental, but now it’s downright failure, and I feel as frustrated as many other users who wrote here. AnneL

I have had this device for several years and keep going back to “troubleshooting” almost every time I use it . I replaced the battery and that was an expensive mistake. I surrender, I am going to find another speaker that does not have the name Bose on it. Too much trouble. It is not bluetooth friendly.

“If that doesn't help then you might have to clear your pairing list with these easy steps:
On the speaker, press and hold the Bluetooth button for about 10 seconds until you hear a noise. The speaker will clear all Bluetooth devices from its memory and will be able to be discovered.”

My Bose Soundlink Mini (not a 2) will connect(bluetooth) to my iMac, my Lenovo Windows 10 but not any of our iPhones. I connect my Bose Soundlink Mini (not a 2) via multiple USB cables and the computer does not recognize the device (trying to update firmware).
Is the Bose Soundlink Mini (not a 2) unable to update the firmware as does the Bose Soundlink Mini 2?
To me, it appears my iphones have received an iOS update that no longer supports Bose Soundlink Mini (not a 2).
Bob Nenow - Antwort
Found my own solution. I removed the Bose Mini Soundlink(not a 2) from iPhone list of Bluetooth Devices. Then let the iPhone re-discover the Bose!

Sarah Ashton - Antwort
Used to work great, turn on speaker, would immediately connect to my phone and play music. Now it says it connects and nothing. Using iphone 8. In my bluetooth devices it says it’s connected. When I go to use something like pandora, it plays only thru phone speaker and when I check thru the app, it only gives iphone as an option. I can connect to other blue tooth devices without issue. I’ve reset the speaker by holding the bluetooth button 10 seconds, i’ve forgotten device thru the phone and restarted phone multiple times, but nothing works for me. anything else I can try?

Mine stopped working while in use!
It was plugged in at the time so I am wondering how it could be the battery!
If being used on AC should it not still work with a bad battery?
I love the unit but I am not sure if purchasing a new battery will solve the problem?

Ronald Petrelli - Antwort
Our speaker keeps disconnecting. We use an aux cord because I find Bluetooth too frustrating when switching devices. Doesn’t matter the device it will play for 30 seconds or sometimes minutes then cut out? Can it be reset. It’s the first generation speaker and it’s much loved and used. Maybe it’s coming to the end of its life? Approximately 6 years old. Any info would be appreciated

I sent mine in for a battery, and ever since it will NOT keep the Bluetooth Connection. I pair it to my Alexa, and have Alexa set to wake me up to the Local Radio Station, and in the Morning the Bluetooth connection is lost. Hooked up my Harmon-Kardon, and not a bit of problems. After sending it back TWICE, Bose states “We are unable to replicate the problem”

Any solutions for an original Sound Link Mini that will no longer pair with any BT device? There are no software updates available for my speaker. It’s a bummer because the speaker itself is in good working order, just won’t connect.

Stephanie Underwood - Antwort
My Bose mini has worked great for a number of years. However, recently, it will not play anything even after pairing, even after a hard restart on all devices, even after ‘forget device’ etc…. I’ve tried everything. It looks like it pairs to my iPhone, no problem, but not music. Oh well…. maybe I should be happy that I got 5 years of good listening through it. This $@$* is maddening though.

My Bose Mini has a red blinking light. This is not a Mini II. I see a few posts with the same problem. I did buy a new battery off Amazon and replaced it. It still blinks red. I tried to hold the mute button down for 10 seconds and the 3 blue lights flash and when I let go of the mute button the red light flashes again. Someone must know how to fix this? Is there a way to put a boost charge on the battery In the event it is absolutely dead?

Suddenly my Mini Link has stopped pairing. I have tried pressing the mute button for 10 seconds to reset, but nothing has happened. Have tried the same with the power button. Nothing changes. I’ve even tried plugging it into my laptop to try to play directly from the computer, and nothing works. Help?

The “Too many devices on the pairing list“ option resolved my issue. By following the steps to clear my pairing list corrected my Bose Soundlink Mini speaker to work again. On my speaker, I pressed and held the Bluetooth button for about 10 seconds until I heard a noise. The speaker cleared all Bluetooth devices from its memory and as be able to be discovered. Thank You!

After about a year or two all it does is just starting “popping”; can’t connect, can’t reset, can’t do anything with it. Not the estimated product life. It’s been on my desktop for most of the time, so it didn’t get any rough handling in that sense.

Hi
I'm using the mini for a class. It will at random times disconnect from my computer or maybe turn off, and then the sound will be off for a while. Is there a way to turn off this periodic disconnect and stay connected to my computer?
nivashni0909 - Antwort
My Bose Sound Link Mini is also frustrating it was easy at the beginning but if I stop using it for a week or two it takes an act of God to make it work again. I will certainly don’t buy another one. Every step of the connection has been checked repeatedly and the App says that is fine so is my computer. My computer says: paired sound and music or something similar. The device says its ready to be paired but nothing else. No sound. Bose speakers shouldn’t be that capricious.
