JBL Pulse 2: Battery light flashing when plugged in but not charging.

Sun, 14 Jul 2024 22:35:00 -0700

Hello,

I have a JBL Pulse 2. It seems that the battery doesn't charge but the speaker led is flashing when plugged in and turns green as it should.

Anybody has the same problem or knows how can I fix this?

Thanks,

Paul

JBL Pulse 2: blinking lights after pressing bluetooth button

Fri, 06 Oct 2023 15:32:02 -0700

opened box and turned on the speaker. as soon as I press the bluetooth button, the lightshow button starts blinking and speaker will not connect in bluetooth screen on my phone. thought it was defective so I went to exchange it, but then the seller got it working the same way that I was trying to do it. listened to music on the speaker on the way home, but before i made it home, the light show, and the lightshow button started blinking. connection lost and won't show up on paired list on my phone.

returned it and bought another Pulse 2 at a different sellers location. explained the issue to the seller before i left the store and they showed me that it works.

got home, tried to pair my wife's phone, pressed the bluetooth button on speaker, same issue.

this is my second pulse 2 purchased from a different seller but has the same exact problem. made sure device is fully charged, turned on and off speaker over and over, tried to do the reset that works for the Pulse, doesn't work on Pulse2. Tried while speaker is plugged in as well.

no answers online, no response from JBL, nothing. someone please help! i just want some answers, it worked before and now it doesn't work. same issue with two separate speakers purchased from 2 separate locations... WTF!

JBL Pulse 2: Charging port bent or broken. Help?

Tue, 04 May 2021 03:27:03 -0700

The charging port on my JBL Pulse 2 is a micro-usb. I went to unplug it a few days ago, but the included cable's male end came out of the cord itself and was stuck in the pulse. I just took a pair of tweezers and shimmied it out. I replaced the cord. Now when I go to charge it, sometimes it charges, sometimes not, and when it does I have to angle the charger up or down. Does anyone know how I could fix this? All help is appreciated!

JBL Pulse 2: Won't turn on before and after replace charging port

Tue, 04 May 2021 03:25:23 -0700

My friend’s JBL Pulse 2 had broken charging port. When you pressed the power button it still did flashed lights and gived the startup sound, but power LED wasn’t staying on. After dissasembly the speaker i found that chargin port was completely detached from the board. I replaced the charging port but there was no reaction on the speaker (should light up the leds on the right side. I opened the speaker more to get access to the mainboard and i measured the voltage of the battery, it was 3.2V only. I connected the battery to lab power supply and i charged it slowly by 100mA up to 4.2V as it should be. Still, the speaker only blinks with lights and gives the startup sound, not remains on. What may be the reason?

JBL Pulse 2: JBL Pulse4 speaker connected to Chromebook but no sound

Tue, 04 May 2021 03:20:34 -0700

Hi, Im pulling my hair out trying to figure out wth is going on here. I have both a BRAND NEW HP Chromebook and a BRAND NEW JBL Pulse4 Bluetooth Speaker. I have repeatedly tried doing the same simple steps over and over with absolutely zero luck!!! Although I am able to pair and connect my speaker to my Chromebook, but still there is NO SOUND!!! The connected to speaker sound does chime when they connect, but my videos, music will not be played through the speaker. Is anyone out there privy to the secret to how to get these two devices to interact? It would be wonderful to be able to use both before they are obsolete and out of style!!! Thank you for any help!!! Cordially, Constance Wilson

JBL Pulse 2: Turns on, but won’t connect via Bluetooth nor play music w/ aux cord

Tue, 04 May 2021 03:20:15 -0700

I had a trouble getting my JBL Pulse 2 to charge last week, and when I finally got it working and turned it on, it refuses to connect via Bluetooth. When I press the Bluetooth button, the crazy light show starts as mentioned in other comments. I decided to see what happens when I connect the speaker manually using an aux cord from my phone directly into the aux port of the speaker…. no sound!! Is there any fix for this?! I really enjoy how this speaker lights up but very disappointed in how fast this product stopped working. JBL has said it is out of warranty (was purchased as a gift to me at the beginning of January 2017) so no luck there. Thank you in advanced!

Everytime I press a button it just takes a picture. The color prism button does work but every single button I press takes a picture and I don't know how to fix it. I splashed it with a mug once to test it’s splashproof just out of curiosity.

JBL Pulse 2: Power issues. Randomly turning off even when plugged.

Wed, 12 Dec 2018 16:59:39 -0700

Hey guys,

I have an issue with my JBL Pulse 2. So my usb port is a bit messed up i have to play around with the cable before it starts charging. Thats a know issue. But

Lately most of the times even though the bottom dot (those battery dot indicators) is blinking showing its charging it rarely charges . Sometimes it does charge up to 3-4 dots but then turns off after like 30 mins. And almost always even if it plugged in and charging it turns itself off.

So i already ordered a new usb charging port, Im wondering if i should order a new battery as well. Or is this something other than the port?

Thanks
