Press and hold all top buttons

When the speaker is neither charging nor turning on; the reason is a glitch many of the times. All you have to do is press and hold all the top buttons for 5-10 seconds. Turn the speaker back on if it doesn’t and you may see it working again. Make sure the speaker has enough charge to turn on.

Press and hold power button

If the above solution does not work, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds until the speaker turns off. Then turn it on if it doesn’t turn on itself.

Charge the speaker

If the speaker is not charged, it will not respond to anything nor it will turn on. So make sure to charge your speaker fully. A JBL Flip 6 can charge fully in 2.5 hours but even faster with fast charging.

Make sure the charger is connected properly and see if there is an indication of charging. If the speaker is charging you will see the button next to Bluetooth button flashing and filling up and it will stop when charged fully.

If pressing and holding the top buttons solves your problem, you are going to see your speaker charging.

Fix charging issues

If there are issues with your charger or the charging port is damaged, speaker will not charge and ultimately it will not turn on. So make sure that the charger is working by using it with another device or using another charger with your Flip 6. Also, make sure that charging port of your speaker is not damaged.

Resetting JBL Flip 6

A solution that is always tried when a speaker is not working is to reset it to the default settings. To do this press Volume+ and Play buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the speaker turns off. This can fix any temporary settings problem and restore the speaker to its factory settings.

If the speaker starts working after resetting, you need to pair it again with the device you want to use it.
