Bose soundlink mini 2 red flashing light

[SusannaW]

I have tried everything!!! The LED on my device continuously flashes red when connected to power, I have tried all the suggestions here (entering ship mode, updating my device - there are no updates):

My warranty has ended and I can't afford to pay £50 just to fix a simple software issue (I'm a student). Any other suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you

I have tried just about every troubleshooting step I could find, but this speaker will not charge. We haven't had it more than 6 months and now it just won't charge. Tried it on the cradle, off the cradle. Tried different charger cords and power supplies, including the provided. Left overnight to charge, still solid red light in the morning. Have tried hold the middle button down to put in "Ship State", still nothing. Was going to see about warranty, but apparently the warranty is expired. Thankfully this was a gift, because at this point it's a paperweight.

The product is up-to-date.

I placed it into ship mode and waked the product again, but the power light is still red and keeping flashing.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!

Detailed description of the issue and steps to reproduce

A couple of months ago my SoundLink Mini started saying it had less and less power when I turned it on even though it was plugged in (90%, then 80%, etc). It now will not turn on at all. When I plug it in it will beep and the red light is solid. After charging for many hours it will not turn on even when it is plugged in. When I unplug it, the red light goes out and it will not work.

Where do you run into the issue? My home

Battery error light (red) began blinking while charging. All steps followed, attempted reset, battery storage mode, software update,all while using the supplied cable. Contacted technical support and requested to pay £50 for repair. From this forum it would appear this is a known fault for the sound link mini. Very poor from Bose that they are not willing to rectify this.
