JBL Xtreme Bluetooth speaker powered on and paired, with its blue glowing Power button highlighted.
When the Power button on your JBL Xtreme 1 speaker is not working, this implies one or more causes as follows…
So, assuming that all the hardware and software in your Xtreme 1 is still okay, we cover here the last possibility. Thus, we describe below how to get your speaker out of service mode, and return it to proper operation.
First, when in this mode, the Xtreme 1 does not power ON unless you connect an external power source such as the included AC charger adapter. Thus, it will not run on the internal battery while in Service mode. Furthermore, when you do apply outside power, it powers ON without you pressing the Power button. I.e. It comes on as soon as you apply power to the DC input port on the back of the speaker.
Also, you cannot turn off the Xtreme 1 while it is in Service mode, unless you disconnect the external power source. And then, it powers off without pressing the Power button. So when this service mode is active, the Power button appears to not work.
Finally, none of the buttons seem to work in Service mode, except for the ones needed to exit service mode. E.g. The speaker won’t pair with any devices or other speakers when you press the Pairing button, and as mentioned, the Power button does not switch it off either.
This is what you may have done by accident at some point just before the Power button not working problem first cropped up… To turn on this Service mode, power ON the speaker first. And then press the Connect+ and Volume UP buttons at the same time, until the speaker powers OFF, which usually takes ten seconds or so.
Find these buttons pointed out in the next picture. Note that you can enter this mode as long as the speaker is running, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s connected to external power or not. Also note that these buttons are very close to (beside) each other. So it’s easy to press them both by accident, especially with the Volume Up button is such a popular control. But keep in mind that once in this mode, you won’t be able to exit it without first connecting the external charger cable.
Now you can restore proper operation by exiting this mode. But note that when this Service mode is in effect, then to switch it back off, you must connect external power to do that. Why? Because when in Service mode, the speaker won’t power up without outside power. And you can’t change modes without switching on the unit first. So you need the AC adapter to perform this fix.
Finally, at this point, the Xtreme 1 Power button should work again, whether or not you connect the power supply.
