How to fix Anker Soundcore Mini not turning on?
Your Anker Soundcore Mini might be out of battery, or there could be a glitch in the settings, or it could be a hardware issue. There are many possibilities with the device not turning on, but unless it’s a hardware issue, it can be fixed by trying out simple solutions. Now let’s take a look at them.
Check the battery status:
The Soundcore Mini does not have any LED lights feature built-in that would inform the user about its battery status. But if you have a device with Bluetooth 4.1 or above, the speaker’s battery will show up in the top right corner, next to the phone’s battery bar percentage. So if the last time you used the speaker showed a percentage with a deficient number, the battery on your speaker is drained. In that case, you need to charge it properly to turn it on again.
If the device is not turning on since you bought it, and you can’t check the battery percentage, move on to the next solution.
Check the charging adapter and cable:
The Anker Soundcore Mini comes with a USB cable to charge the device. You can use any certified adapter with that cable to charge your Bluetooth speaker. But sometimes, an adapter and a cable might not be compatible. So try out multiple adapters with the USB cable that came with the speaker and see if it charges appropriately or not.
In some rare scenarios, the USB cable that came with the speaker could also be at fault. So try out other cable and adapter combinations as well.
Try the next solution if your Bluetooth speaker is charging properly but not turning on.
Reset the Bluetooth speaker:
As an ultimate fix, resetting the Bluetooth speaker clears out most problems within a minute. You can try this fix even with the device not turning on.
To reset your Anker Soundcore Mini, press and hold the power button for 8 seconds. After that, let go of the button and try turning on the device.
If it still does not turn on, try the next solution.
Clear previous Bluetooth connections:
Sometimes, multiple Bluetooth connections with a speaker can malfunction while maintaining all the connection information. So even with the speaker not turning on, that could be a possibility. But clearing out previous Bluetooth connections on the Anker Soundcore Mini is simple. Just press and hold the Bluetooth button for two seconds, which will instantly clear out all the previous Bluetooth connections.
Try the next solution if clearing out the previous Bluetooth connections does not solve your problem.
Check the battery:
Faulty device parts are not rare when a company mass-produces a product, and the same is true with the Anker Soundcore Mini. If you are unlucky with the purchase, you could end up with a device with faulty hardware parts. One particular aspect that might be faulty on your device could be the battery. If none of the above solutions worked for you, take your device to your nearest service center and tell them to check the battery. If there is an issue with the battery, they will replace it for you.
Similar to the battery being faulty, you could also end up with the faulty power button. It is more common than the battery issue. Similar to what we mentioned above, take your speaker to the nearest service center and ask them to inspect your power button. If that is at fault, they will also fix it for you.
Inspect the circuit board:
Finally, we come to circuit boards. Yes, circuit boards are not free from hardware faults as well. So along with the power button and the battery, get your circuit board checked in the service center too. If anything is wrong with it, they will fix it for you. If you have purchased the speaker recently, all of it will be restored for free. But if it’s been more than a year, you will have the bear the charges.
