If your bose soundlink mini Bluetooth speaker is not turning on or not charging, or connecting to Bluetooth / pairing, it is due to a firmware bug that soft bricks the speaker due to various reasons. The LED will be flashing red and the speaker stops charging. This can be fixed with an easy firmware reset as explained in the video.

Additional troubleshooting tips from Bose:
1. Speaker will not turn on when using battery
To resolve this issue, please try the following:
--Connect the system to AC power. If the system is disconnected from AC power and unused for 14 days or more, the system enters a protection mode to preserve battery power. This is typically the case with brand new systems just being removed from the box. It is then necessary to connect the unit to AC power to reactivate the system
--The battery may not be sufficiently charged. The battery must have some charge in order for it to power up the system.
2. Speaker will not turn on when connected to AC power:
Please try the following to resolve this issue:
-- Make sure your speaker is connected to a working AC (mains) outlet
-- Make sure you are using the Bose power supply that shipped with your speaker, or a Bose accessory charger
-- If you are using a surge protector, try plugging directly into a working wall outlet
-- Visit [ Ссылка ] to see if your product has the latest firmware
-- If the above steps are not successful, you can also try temporarily putting the speaker into “Ship mode” which will reboot the internal processer. To put the speaker into Ship mode, follow these steps:
-- Connect the speaker to power
-- Press and hold the Multi-function button for 10 seconds
-- While continuing to hold the Multi-function button, unplug the speaker from the power
-- Release the Multi-function button
The product is now in Ship mode. This is essentially a fully "off" state and it will have no power or functionality. To take the product out of Ship mode and wake it up, just connect it to power. We recommend you allow it to charge for at least 1 hour.
Note: Putting the system into Ship mode reboots the processor, but does not erase any settings, like language selection or paired Bluetooth devices.
