Bose SoundTouch Portable: SoundTouch Portable won't turn on. New battery.

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 08:11:31 -0700

I recently purchased a non-working SoundTouch portable. The seller thought it was just the battery, but that does not seem to be the case.

I have tried hard resets but am not having any luck.

Bose Support has stated they can fix it for me for $99 if I send it to them. I’d like to see if there are things I can do before sending.

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!

Fri, 30 Aug 2024 04:52:51 -0700

Hi! I recently got a Bose SoundDock 1 for really cheap and it happens to have a problem that I have no idea how to resolve.

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 SoundTouch 20: ffc ribbons attach to wifi module where?

Sun, 30 Jun 2024 12:41:45 -0700

removed the lcd and button ffc ribbons from wifi module and can not remember where on the wifi module they get re-connected.BOSE BUTTON And LCD DISPLAY FFC PATHWAY TO WIFI MODULE PHOTO

not sure I managed to upload photo.

photo shows one ffc cable going to front cover of unit for LCD display and the shorter one goes to the top of the unit for button operation.

my question however is WHERE they COME FROM, as this photo looks like they both originate from the same connector possibly on the wifi module. this photo does not show wifi module in its entirety for me to see though.

thanks for your help and I hope I am helping you better so you can help me. lol

I need to re-install the software on my bose speaker 500, bose service people are asking for money as much as half the amount of speaker itself to do that. I want to do it myself to save money on an already expensive speaker.
