Hello, I have a Flip 6 and I often have the issue that it does not want to turn off after it has been charging. When this happens I also cannot change the volume up/down. I have tried to press the Play & Volume + button to restart and although that switched it off, when you switch it back on again it will not connect to any device. In fact, when I switch it on it immediately starts the sound like it is searching for a bluetooth connection but none of my devices can connect to it. Do you have any advice on how to fix this?
I don’t know, the best bet would be to contact JBL support.
Do you know anything about the JBL clip 3, red light stays on, any help?
Try to press and hold the Play/Pause ⏯, Volume Up ➕, and Volume Down ➖ buttons simultaneously for as long as 20 sec, or if the light turns off.
Please let me know if it works
My flip 6 won’t charge so resetting isn’t an option I guess since I can’t get to stay on long enough for the reset…???
Mine will not turn on & will not light up when plugged in. I’ve tried several outlets in my house as well.
my jbl flip 6 flashing lights when plugged in to chagre how do i fix this problem ?
This JBL Flip 6 turns on and off with such an ear piercing volume that it makes me want to beat it to death with a hammer. Is there really no way to turn down the volume when powering on of off? This is the second one I purchased both do the same thing.
The source volume might be low and the speaker volume might be high. When it’s on, try lowering the volume through the speaker and raising the volume on your phone/tv or whatever you playing music from.
My flip 6 won’t turn on. And doesn’t light up when plugged in.
Hello, I have a flip 1. It fell out of my truck and now it won’t work. Won’t charge, or stay on and it will not reset.
What can I do or where can I send it to be repaired ?
Thank you for your help…

Thank you for your knowledge. I bought a JBL Flip 1st generation at a garage sale for $3. I tried half a day to get it paired to my phone. FINALLY! I went through several of the resets and finally got it to reset by holding the power button and the volume up and down at the same time for about 5 seconds. It went off. Yeah! I am so excited.
Hi, I changed the battery of my flip 3 and it works fine. However, the buttons do not respond. I checked the flex and it is ok, could you give me some advice?
