<title><![CDATA[Bose portable speaker: Updated firmware to version 14 (3/26), now constant Yellow LED & dies]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I have used the SoundLink II since inheriting it from my father in 2018. It works great at night to provide background white noise while we sleep. I had to charge it about every 3 days and charging it is the issue.  Sometimes it:</p>

<p>a.  Charges normally, blinking yellow till charged then constant green</p>

<p>b.  Does not charge, blinks yellow, I press power it and stays at same charge level</p>

<p>c.  Charges to a level (like 70%) and stops there (until powered off /on)</p>

<p>d. Usually I could just run it until it totally died from a dead battery and then it would charge to 100%</p>

<p>The LED light would always turn off during use (unless it was being charged or was totally run-down to the red mode).  Regardless, I could use it, but I was hoping for a firmware fix.</p>

<p>---------------------------</p>

<p>All these scenarios stopped when I recently (2026) found there was a new firmware update and I updated it (to version xxx.14). Now it ALWAYS shows the yellow LED except for a momentary green after unplugging the charger. It has never again done the #a or #d scenario again, but it seems to fully charge because when you disconnect the charging (quick green flash and the yellow led stays on) it runs the battery down to zero pretty quickly (1 night of use maybe 1-1/2).  I am going to be shipping it in (buying a replacement), but it would be nice if they would have fixed it.</p>

<p>This &quot;question&quot; is just for anyone that still has the speaker and sees issues or anyone that manages to permanently fix it.  Otherwise, my advise is DONT update it to version xxxxx.14</p>

<p>So my question is will you please post a reply to this thread what you did to fix it (user), or what you could have done or will do to fix it (Bose)?  I think it is a firmware issue (bug).  The speaker still works good.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Bose SoundLink Wireless: Speaker changes into AUX mode upon connecting to a bluetooth device]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My family has an old Bose SoundLink Mobile speaker II from 2012, that now developed a live of it's own. Whenever we try to connect a bluetooth device to it (smartphones or a labtop) it stays connected for only about a second, before changing to AUX mode, where it then severs the connection again.</p>

<p>I tried resetting it by pressing the mute button for 10 seconds but this did not help.</p>

<p>The manual doesn't have advice for this specific problem.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Bose SoundLink Micro: How do I replace the battery]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The battery was dead so I removed it from my Bose SoundLink Micro by cutting the wires close to the board. The original battery had green, red, black, and white wires. The replacement battery I bought (sold as compatible) has black, yellow, white, and red wires.</p>

<p>I want to make sure I connect everything correctly without causing a short circuit or damaging the board. The color codes don’t match, and I’m not sure which wire corresponds to which function (power, ground, thermistor, data, etc.).</p>

<p>Any guidance or wiring diagram for this model would really help. I have a multimeter and can take resistance or voltage readings if needed.</p>

<p>There’s no videos on the internet doing it step by step. Just how to split it open.</p>
