<title><![CDATA[JBL Go 4: JBL Go 4 only works through USB – buttons and Bluetooth not working]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My JBL Go 4 is not working normally and I am trying to find out whether the motherboard needs to be replaced.</p>

<p>Symptoms and tests I have done:</p>

<ul><li>When I press the power button on battery, the LED turns on for about 5 seconds and then turns off. There is no startup sound.</li><li>The speaker does not connect to Bluetooth.</li><li>The physical buttons do not respond.</li><li>When connected to my PC through USB-C, the PC recognizes the speaker and I can play audio through it.</li><li>I opened the speaker and checked the connections.</li><li>The battery measures approximately 4.28 V.</li><li>I also measured the battery voltage while trying to turn the speaker on. It stays around 4.28 V and does not noticeably drop.</li><li>The battery voltage also reaches the motherboard connector.</li></ul>

<p>Could this be a motherboard/power-management problem, or could the button-control circuit or another component cause these symptoms?</p>

<p>Is there anything else I can safely test with a multimeter before replacing the motherboard?</p>

<p>Also, is there any USB recovery/service mode that can be used to reset or reinstall the firmware when Bluetooth and the physical buttons are not working?</p>

<p>If the motherboard needs replacement, how can I identify the correct motherboard/revision for my JBL Go 4?</p>]]></description>
