How to Fix JBL Flip 5 Not Working or Not Charging
If your JBL Flip 5 is unresponsive or not charging, don’t worry! You can follow these simple steps to troubleshoot the issue.
Step 1: Check the Power Button and Battery
Ensure that the power button on your Flip 5 is functioning properly. Make sure it’s pressed correctly and that the battery isn’t completely drained. If you haven’t used your speaker for an extended period, it’s possible that the battery is fully discharged.
Step 2: Charge the Flip 5
Next, connect the USB-C charging cable to the Flip 5 and plug it into a working power outlet. Check the LED charging indicator; it should show a flashing light while charging.
If there’s no light, proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Try Different Cables and Power Sources
Test a different charging cable and power adapter. If you’re using a third-party USB-C cable or adapter, it might not be compatible, so trying a different one can help. Additionally, switch to another power outlet to rule out any issues with your current power source.
Step 4: Inspect the Charging Port
Examine the charging port for any dust, debris, or hair that may be obstructing the connection. Also, check for any bent or broken pins inside the charging port itself, as this could prevent the speaker from charging.
Step 5: Perform a Hard Reset
If your Flip 5 still isn’t turning on, try performing a hard reset. Press and hold the volume up and power buttons simultaneously. After the reset, attempt to power it on again.
Final Option: Wait or Replace the Battery
If the speaker remains unresponsive after following the previous steps, allow the battery some time to charge. If it still doesn’t work, consider replacing the battery as a last resort.
