Chosen Solution
Hi, I recently bought a JBL charge 3. Since today, it won’t turn on when it’s not plugged in. I didn’t blow it and the battery is full (all 5 light are on). How can I fix this or do I have to go back to the store?
If your JBL Charge 3 speaker is not playing sounds, lighting up, or turning on at all, see the JBL Charge 3 Won’t Turn On problem page for possible problems and solutions. You need to charge your JBL and when the power button turns on you have to press the volume+ and the connect button at the same time until it shuts off. Then you pull the cable out and start it.
I have seems multiple posts of different button combos being held for 10s to reset demo mode. My fix was the BT button and the “play” (right triangle) button. Try different buttons paired together for 10s and the power light goes out as it powers down and then you can hit power and it will be operational. So many people have been saying the batteries are dead but I have 5 of these and never once has the battery been the issue. Good luck!
I have my jbl clip 3 it’s almost dead i believe. But there are few conditions it’s turn on. Primarily it’s sound goes off very little sound can be heard. No base. I tried reset method then it start giving these issues. Not turning on with power button.When plug with usb for charge it shows 1 time red light blinks and goes off and show solid white light.I try to combination of volume+ and Bluetooth paring button it goes off but not turn on.Please help me to identify the problem.
