Device Won't Turn On
The speaker won't play sounds or light up.
Device Is Powered Off
Try pressing the power button on the top of the device. The lights on the front will turn on when the speaker is on.
Bluetooth Is Not Connected
Make sure your speaker and device are paired. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the two. Once your device and speaker are paired make sure the volume is turned up on both. If this fails, restart the speaker and try again.
Speaker reset code: Turn on device and press and hold "volume up" and "play pause" simultaneously until power button glows.
If your device will still not connect to the speaker you may have a faulty bluetooth chip and need to replace the motherboard. See our motherboard replacement guide.
No Battery Charge Left
Plug the Charge 3 in and make sure the front lights turn on, indicating the speaker is charging. If this fails you may need to replace the battery.
Power Button May Have Failed
First, make sure the device is charged. If it is fully charged and still wont turn on then the button mechanism may be worn out or broken. Follow our button replacement guide.
Device Is Not Charging or Holding a Charge
The speaker won't turn on or turns off quickly.
Charging Port Is Broken
Follow the port bay troubleshooting below.
Battery Is Defective or Needs Replacement
If the battery is not charging or unexpectedly turns off you may need to replace it. Make sure this is a persistent issue before replacing. Instances of leaving the device in abnormal temperatures can cause the device to loose power quicker than normal. If the issue continues, follow our battery replacement guide.
One of the 3 Ports (AUX, USB, and Micro USB) Is Not Working
Either charging the device, using the device as a charger, or using an audio cable does not work.
Connected Cable Does Not Work
Check that any cable you are attempting to use work on another device. Try using a different cable with your Charge 3 and see if the problem persists.
Ports Have Failed
If one of the three ports will not work with its corresponding functioning cable it may require a replacement of the port bay.
Speakers Sound Distorted
Audio sounds distorted or muffled.
Device Is In the Wrong Audio Mode
The Charge 3 has multiple audio presets that can be accidentally activated. Try reseting the speaker. It is recommended to keep your speaker in the preset mode for normal listening.
Speaker reset code: Turn on device and press and hold "volume up" and "play pause" until power button glows.
Speakers Were Blown Out
If the speaker sounds distorted, it may be blown out. Follow our speaker replacement guide. Make sure to play music with heavier bass at lower volumes to avoid damage to your speaker.
Buttons Won't Operate Properly
One or more of the buttons fails to register when pressed.
Button Housing Is Worn Out or Has Debris In It
If one or more of the buttons is not working the button membrane may have been damaged. Button failure can also happen from long tern use. Follow our button replacement guide.

My JBL Charge3 speaker is pausing the music irrespective of app/website. It will play music smoothly for sometime like half an hour but after that it keeps pausing the music.
Facing issue when playing music through my laptop(MacBook Pro) and cellphone (oneplus 5).
Any suggestions how to fix it?
aditya singh - Responder
Could be a battery problem. Did you check the battery? What is the battery voltage? Is it bulgy? How about the battery connector? Are the solder joints still good?

My jbl charge 3 will charge then start blinking all 5 lights. Once unplugged and connected to my phone the battery drops to indicate 3 of the leds. It will play for about 30 minutes then sound very distorted for a bit and shut down. Please help, I’ve torn the unit down and found no obvious damage ie: broken cables or anything.

I replaced the battery in my JBL Charge 3, now it wont charge. When plugged in and powered off, the indicators are blank. When plugged in, and the power button is pushed, the charging indicator will flash all, switch to one white light, then the one light turns red, and the speaker powers off. While unplugged, it does nothing. The battery is for the 2016 version, which matches my speaker. Anyone, please help.

The power button and Bluetooth button are white after pressing Bluetooth button. I have 2 but this one will not connect via Bluetooth either. If I turn on the other speaker it will then play ok. It is not pairing via the new JBL app which I regret downloading . Bought in the USA about two years ago. Now living in Thailand. (Crematoria) Can it be the heat? The other speaker has no problems. Please help!

my chargue 3 has literally one day of use, I have not dropped or wet it, but for some reason, when connected, the buttons do not work, I can not handle the volume from the device, I can not turn it off, unless force it by pressing the on button for about 10 seconds. I'm really worried about the matter ...
Melanie Pizarro - Responder
My 2016 model JBL charge 3 will not charge (tried different cables). The only light that shows is a flashing red light, which flashes only when I power up ( makes the ‘power on ‘sound). If I leave the device Power off, and try to charge it, no lights come on. If I try to charge it with power on, the same flashing red light displays, but that’s it. I tried the reset procedure and nothing happened. Does the battery need replacing OR is the charging port broken?
R Morris - Responder
The charging port is broken and needs a replacement.

My speaker won’t stay on! It keeps turning its self off, in less than a minute. It is fully charged! What can I do!
Pamela McDaniel-Droder - Responder
My Charge 3 will suddenly shut off for no apparent reason - the battery can be fully charged, the phone to which it’s connected is close by and no other Bluetooth devices are trying to connect. It will restart as soon as I turn it back on but, clearly, something isn’t right.
Neal Schneider - Responder
I had the problem of my charge 3 not turning on anymore and not charging.
If you have this the problem is the motherboard (probably dead). So what I sugest is to replace the motherboard ofcourse.
Lars Broersen - Responder

Bonjour,
Mon enceinte JBL flip 3 ne s'allume qu'en étant branchée. En revanche, une fois allumée je peux la débrancher et l'utiliser normalement, sans fil.
C'est une panne assez étrange car le bouton marche fonctionne bien, sinon il ne fonctionnerait pas non plus une fois l'enceinte branchée, et ce n'est pas non plus un problème de batterie puisqu'une fois allumée je peux la débrancher et écouter ainsi de la musique pendant des heures.
Quelqu'un aurait-il une piste?
Par avance, merci !

I tried to reset my JBL charge 3with the wrong reset pattern it powered off like it was supposed to but now it won’t power on. Has anybody heard anything like this
David Carlisle - Responder
Will JBL replace the cube 3 since its the fault of the rubber waterproof seal that breaks the usb while charging? It places too much pressure on the charger when its plugged into the port. Which in turn loosens/breaks the usb port.
andy60234 - Responder
When JBL charge 3 does not want to charge it may not be a problem : leave it for 2 weeks and try to charge it in this order : plug charger , plug USB cable in charger the plug cable in JBL.
Seems that some electronics stop the HP to work if some electrons inside ❓
Found this after having left a non charging charge 3 for 18 months in some place , then few months ago I plug it and it charged 🙀
Now I try to keep it plugged : (it can be unplugged and work for hours but sometimes it may not charge again which leads to waiting 2 weeks before being able to charge again 😵💫
P’tit Xav - Responder
Even though this is an old model (been busy working in IT so ain't used it much so in tip-top condition!). Its a tad strange and a shame a great brand and device have not included a mute option. Googling gives the option of holiding volume up and down simulaneously. Doesn't work for me, even after a hard reset.
STEVE BOWKER - Responder
Hi, just got a JBL charge 3 which is more or less dead. It can be turned on and off, but nothing more happens. Means you press the ON butten and the LED will light up and then press the ON button again and the LED will go off.
There is no sound, it cannot be charged and it does not appear as a Bluetooth device in the smartphone or PC. I disassembled everything, and charged the battery externally with a LiFePo charger.
I also tried to reset it, but it does not work.
I could not identify anything obviously wrong with any of the components. I do suspect the mainboard has a problem. Maybe it could be fixed with a firmware update. However, the easy way via bluetooth does not work, because I cannot establish a connection. I suspect, a firmware update via USB would work, but I did not find a manual on how this could be done.
Tips and suggestions are welcome.

Àny suggestions what is wrong?

Edward Flores - Responder
Fixed several JBL's:
- LiPo battery fail. Replace the battery
- Inductor of boost converter loose from PCB. Just resolder it.
- 25mohm current sense resistor SMD type blown . JBL indicates it is charging, but it takes forever and is never full. Replace the resistor.
