Bose Soundlink Mini II: Should sound come out from the back of the speaker?

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 13:03:11 -0700

I just noticed I only hear audio from one side of the speaker. I’m wondering if sound is supposed to be audible from both front and back and whether I have a blown speaker. Thanks in advance

Bose Soundlink Mini II: All LEDs not working anymore (everything else is OK!)

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 12:42:26 -0700

ALL of the LEDs (on/off, Bluetooth) are not working anymore - anything else (bluetooth, audio menu, music, buttons) is working.

Any idea, what to check if just the LEDs are the problem? Any loosen connector?

It happens just between two days of normal usage :-/

Making a "factory reset" did not solve the problem.

Bose Soundlink Mini II: There is little or no response from the buttons

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 03:21:49 -0700

I get a small flash of light from the power/charge indicator when I disconnect the USB Charger. I get similar response if I disconnect the cradle supply but only if the USB is plugged in as well. Some devices see the Bose through Bluetooth but do not connect.

Battery tests good.

The speaker doesn't power on.

Bose Soundlink Mini II: Noise on strong base after changing the battery

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 13:51:05 -0700

I have a bose soundlink mini 2 that suddenly wont turn, i diagnosed it and in short the battery died. I have confirmed this that after removing (following ifixit guide) the battery i measured the voltage on the positive and negative wires and it read 0 volts, battery died.

I bought a replacement (not from ifixit, although it was tagged as "original" but it could be fake) and replaced the battery as per ifixit guide. It turns on now no problem. The probem starts when i play music with heavy base. at 40% volume it plays no problem , but at 50% it sounds that the base is clipping or something like that, at 80% when a heavy base comes the soundlink mini outright shutsdown and reset.

Have anyone experienced this problem? Could it be the battery? I really dont have a bench powersupply that can give it a high headroom of power. Or im just unlucky and i have a burnt circuit inside

Bose Soundlink Mini II: SoundLink Mini II Don't Turn On

Sun, 28 Feb 2021 12:14:33 -0700

Hi people. I have a problem with your product. Bose SoundLink Mini II won't turn on. When I plug the USB into the speaker, it flashes green once. I tried to give it a charge for the night, nothing works. I tried to do an update, but it doesn't see my speaker connected to different USB ports and different USB cables (including the original). I tried to do a Reset, but it doesn't react in any way. When I tried to turn on the Ship mode at ten seconds of holding the multifunction button, it started flashing green, and when I unplug the USB and left it on for a minute and then let it charge for one hour, it still won't turn on.

Bose Soundlink Mini II: Unable to sync to bluetooth

Thu, 16 Apr 2020 16:05:05 -0700

I have previously synced with this device. The speaker began desyncing randomly as well as giving choppy audio. After following several troubleshooting steps, such as resetting to ship mode and resetting all bluetooth connections, I attempted to completely uninstall all drivers related to the soundlink and redownload them, and now I am unable to find the soundlink in available devices.

Hello,

Dropped my Bose mini soundlink 2 from about a foot off the ground and there's a rattling sound on some notes, especially at an increased volume. (Wasn't there before the drop) Is that a blown speaker? Repair advice?

Thanks!

Bose Soundlink Mini II: Yellow battery indicator keeps flashing yellow

Sat, 09 Feb 2019 05:03:27 -0700

My 2 year old and rarely used SoundLink II keeps flashing the yellow charging indicator. Battery level is at about 40%, and it’s working properly.

I can’t set it to ship mode, as it immediately thinks it’s charging after holding the function button and removing the power supply.

Also a factory reset did not help.

When connecting to a charger, it will draw 500mA (the charger could provice about 2A).
