We explain how to turn on the JBL Go 2 here. Now most speakers have a Power button that they prominently position on the unit so it’s easy to find. Indeed, this JBL Go 2 is no exception, since we find its Power button on the top panel.

There’s also a status lamp on the front that starts glowing when the 2 powers up.

How to Turn ON JBL Go 2: Step by Step

To power up, press the Power button. Then release after a quarter second or so. Moreover, you needn’t hold it for long for the unit to see your press.

When the 2 comes ON, the status lamp glows, and the unit makes an interesting startup guitar strum.

But if the Power button does not work, or if the lamp blinks red, then you need to recharge. So if the unit won’t start, then try connecting a USB charger. You can indeed play the 2 while it charges.

Now with a charger connected, the 2 should always power up when you click the Power button. If not, then the unit may not be getting any electricity from your charger. So check that the AC outlet for the adapter is live and that the adapter works. Also check that the charging cable is okay, and that the charger plug fully seats in the USB port.

But if after all these checks the 2 still does not turn on, then the unit itself may be defective. In that case, just get a new one.
