Hi @Toolmak3r and welcome to the Community

There could be a few possible causes for the battery not charging etc.

Firstly have you tried a reset on the speaker?

Here's the link

If so then have you checked your ac power unit and the cable? Its possible they may have to be replaced.

If the ac is fine then I'm sorry to say you will probably have to return the item if in warranty or seek a repair.

cheers

Hi there,

i have same issue and have sent my product for repairs with Sony uk

they state that they don't have parts to fix and offered a poor replacement. Namely the srs zr5 which is not portable and has to be plugged into mains at all times. Also it is not a stereo speaker nor is it hi res.

their only other solution is to offer a refund. This is unacceptable as the product is being sold still in Sony centre stores around the UK  ( PLEASE NOTE THAT SONY CENTRE STORES ARE A FRANCHISE AND NOT A PART OF THE SONY COMPANY!)

Please also note that their are NO official Sony stores either online or in the real world!

so in short Sony can't simply replace all products...not much of a warranty huh?

if your in my position in the uk then contact Sony customer relations and ask for the issue to be escalated. The repair centre will not help. I am disgusted and regret buying many products now ( I own a z3+ phone, some expensive extra bass Bluetooth headphones and a Bravia tv) 

they will offer a refund, not good enough and not compliant with the Consumer Rights Act 2015

best of luck with your issue.

There is apparently another reset procedure too. Hold power button and volume minus button simultaneously for 7 seconds, neither worked for me but I hope it does for you. Unlikely as I fear a faulty battery is the issue but I must admit to having zero technical knowledge.

good luck and please check my other post regarding my repair centre experience with the same issue

Thanks for your answer,but no that did not helped me.Instantly when i plug it to the wall socket 220v it will shutdown and then after 10-20 min it will power up.I don't have any warranty i bought it from ebay.

I have tried many times the reset button no help.

Only when i hold the power button for while it will power up after the AC been plugged.

Hi there

I hate to say this, but its probably a hardware failure - are you able to get a refund via Ebay's refund/complaints process?

Cheers
