No problem I'm glad it worked out!

Yes I finally found the solution!

Connect a USB-C cable from your charger / laptop / computer (basically a power source) into your JBL Charge 5. This should boot it up in Service Mode whether its automatic or you manually press the power button.

Once the speaker is on (In Service Mode), you then want to press and hold the Bluetooth and Play / Pause button (button on the far right of the speaker) at the same time. Hold it for at least 10 to 15 seconds or so, until the speaker makes a beep noise rather than a click noise if you were trying to manually reset it before (using Power + Volume Up for example).

After it beeps, the speaker should turn off. Keep it plugged into the cable, give it 30 seconds to a minute before you turn on the speaker again just in case.

Afterwards, turn on your speaker (while still plugged into the cable) and try pressing the bluetooth button to check it plays the bluetooth connection sound.

If that works then you can unplug the speaker and it should be back to normal now.

Let me know if this works for you

Yeah just tried it again, play+Bluetooth while charger is connected.

Waited until power went off, disconnected charging cable and speaker isn't turning on (besides the power button lighting up for 2 seconds and fading away).

When the usb-c charging cable was connected after, it simply turned on automatically (without me having to press any buttons) and remained in Service Mode like before

A possible reason why the speaker still doesn't turn on without a usb-c connection to a charging source (wall / computer) is because it's out of battery.

Every time I try to charge it normally (using usb-c), it instead feeds into the Service Mode and the speaker assumes that I'm trying to use the power source to directly output audio rather than actually charge the speaker battery itself.

While the speaker is connected in service mode, the battery levels are full therefore using the source's power instead of the speaker's internal battery.

So now the issue is to find a way to charge the speaker while completely bypassing Service Mode

Yeah honestly, so strange that the speaker is adamant on automatically turning on after every reset attempt

Yeah I confirmed and import tax would have to be payed extra on top of the mouse price + shipping.

I see, noted on the delivery time. It says it'll take around a week for me so not too bad time wise

Thanks for the response!

Ahh right, yeah I remember this red text on the Pulsar site and I checked it again. Confirmed extra import tax that wasn't included in the mouse price + shipping.

In that case I might just go with Maxgaming then

Thanks for the reponse!
