Bose SoundDock Portable v2: Bose SoundDock Portable charging issue

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 04:40:23 -0700

I got this speaker quite a few years back and have always loved it. I never bought any adapters or anything for the docking station so it still has the original really old iphone docking port on it. I now have an iphone 6s plus which wont fit obviously so for a long time now i've just been using the aux cord to play music off my iphone with it doesn't really bother or inconvienance me. I also lost the remote in the midst of the several times ive moved in the past few years so i have been using the manual volume controls on the side of the speaker for quite a while as well.

So recently when I've gone to charge the speaker itself (as the blinking red light indicates it needs recharging) it has been not charging at all when I connect it to the charger or either it beeps on and off several times like its detecting connection to the power source and is going to charge but then beeps again as if it disconnects or is unplugged even though im not touching it at all and then usually after a few times of beeping it just totally stops charging and wont respond when i plug it in to the back of the bose at all. Ive looked all over the internet but cant really seem to find this exact issue. I really love this speaker and it wasn't very cheap so i really hope that this is a simple fix. Please help if possible.

Bose SoundDock Portable v2: No sound from speaker & iPhone will not charge

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 19:25:09 -0700

I am attempting to utilize my iPhone 4 with my Bose SoundDock V2 speaker. When I dock it, no sound comes out of the speaker and it is not charging my phone. I can see the speaker has like an orange light on and my phone recognizes the speaker… (I can see it under the options of where I want the sound to come out of). We had stopped using the speaker for this reason, but I really want to fix it.

I have attempted the following with out any success:

*Restarted iPhone

Restarted speaker, unplugged and removed the battery
Attempted docking it multiple times with 10 seconds waiting time in between
Removed and cleaned both phone and docking station to ensure a good connection free of dust

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! :) Thank you guys!

Bose SoundDock Portable v2: Goes into protection mode immediately after turning off.

Wed, 30 Sep 2020 03:29:44 -0700

My sounddock works great but goes into protection mode when I turn it off immediately and is unresponsive after. Once I plug the AC power in to reactivate it, I can unplug it immediately and us it on battery for hours. I don't think its a battery issue because its fully charged and works for hours as long as I don't turn it off.

Bose SoundDock Portable v2: Where can I buy a docking pad to repair by docking station?

Sat, 10 Dec 2016 13:04:28 -0700

Hi,

I have a Bose docking station for iPod classic. It was working fine but suddently stopped playing music (it does charge the iPod, though). I tried different things to no avail so I ended up bringing it to a certified Bose dealer where I live (in Africa) and they told me it needs a new "docking pad" and will charge me USD 150! It seems quite an excessive price for a repair, so I am wondering whether I could do it myself. Do you know where I can get a docking pad? (I don;t even know what it is!). Your help would me much appreciated! Thanks!

Bose SoundDock Portable v2: Four rubber half inch long, three mm caps/sleeves behind grill

Mon, 07 Dec 2015 21:50:54 -0700

My son accidentally dropped the SoundDock portable and the grill popped off. I noticed four small rubber caps that are approx half inch long, 3 millimeters wide, and 2-3 millimeters thick. They form a block shape on the outside and the inner slot covers something that appears to be a millimeter thick. I've never disassembled the unit before so I have no idea where they go. The rubber cushions (lower left/right) and velcro pieces are present.
