Restart JBL Flip 6 Speaker: Summary

First, if the speaker is behaving strangely, try holding in the Power button for 10 seconds. This will forcibly shut it down. hen you can turn it on again and see if the problem goes away.

But if that doesn’t work, you may have to do a complete factory reset to solve your speaker issues. Note that restarting by brute force does not erase the speaker paired devices list. But this next way does erase any earlier paired Bluetooth devices from memory. Wiping these stops it from pairing to any in-range Bluetooth devices after the restart.

Then after a short pause, the speaker turns off. All the lights go out, and it plays the power-down guitar sound.

4. Boot the Speaker Again

Next, power on the JBL Flip 6 Speaker again, as we detail in step 1 above.

Now this time, after restart, our speaker comes up in Bluetooth discovery mode, as shown next. Note that the Bluetooth button fast blinks white to denote this. When the Bluetooth button blinks, this means that the JBL Flip 6 Speaker has no pairing. Indeed, we expect it not to auto pair to anything after restart.
