When my JBL Charge 3 speaker wouldn’t turn on, I was initially confused and worried. I didn’t know what could be causing the issue, but I knew I had to find a solution. After doing some troubleshooting, I discovered that the most common reason for the speaker not turning on is a lack of charge. So, here’s what I did to fix the problem:
1. Check the battery: The first thing I did was to make sure the speaker was not out of battery. I plugged the charging cable into the speaker and then connected it to a power outlet. I made sure to use the original charging cable that came with the speaker to ensure compatibility.
2. Look for charging indicators: While the speaker was plugged in, I observed the front lights to see if they turned on. The lights indicate that the speaker is charging. If the lights do not turn on, it could mean that there is an issue with the charging cable or the power outlet. I tried using a different charging cable and connecting the speaker to a different power outlet to rule out any potential issues.
3. Check for faulty battery: If the front lights still do not turn on after trying different charging cables and power outlets, there might be a problem with the battery itself. In such cases, it is best to contact the manufacturer or seek professional help to get the battery replaced. Fortunately, I didn’t have to go through this step as my speaker started charging and the lights turned on after trying different charging cables.
By ensuring that the speaker is properly charged, I was able to resolve the issue of my JBL Charge 3 not turning on. It’s essential to use the original charging cable and try different power outlets to troubleshoot any potential charging problems. If the issue persists, it’s best to reach out to the manufacturer or a professional for further assistance.
