If it were me I would return it and ask for a replacement. This is the best speaker I ever had. I took it with me fishing and showed it to my family and friends and they were surprised at its volume and clarity.

Try switching speaker wires.....if still not working,it is most likely the unit itself.

Mine would not play even plugged to speaker jack unless it was fully charged.

If you have it hooked up correctly then I would say you have a defective speaker and need to return it.

I would make sure the bulb is connected. Otherwise, it should just turn on. If not, I would send it back. :)

Turn on power push the bluetooth button for 10 seconds and if start blinking it searching for the device to be pair or to connect. If still the same problem the bluetooth speaker might be defective.

I got the same issue (connected with USB) plus, has static. The on/off control is in the weird location and many times I get the Static with a noise in the speaker. They even get sound when I turn on and off the light in the room. It never happened with the previous speakers.

Did you turn on the speaker? There is a small switch that can turn right and left. Instead of turning the switch, push it into the speaker and hold it in. The speaker is on when the light on the bottom of the speaker starts blinking blue. If you still have no sound, try pushing the mode button.

The charging light in mine actually didn't work, so I tried turn it. Since in had a battery in it I cound send it through the mail. I contacted AMAZON and they sent me a new. The new one works perfect....

John, it could just be locked up. There is a small hole marked "Reset" next to the external volume controls. Use a SMALL paper clip to "press and hold" the reset button until you see the power LED cycle. If that doesn't start it, it could need service.

Make sure the bluetooth is charged and on. This speaker is junk I had nothing but problems with it. And I went looked up all the reviews for it and a lot of the people where having similar problems I did I ended up returning the speaker

I have had mine for over a year and have not had an issue. Depending on what you are hooking it up to you should be able to look at the devices that are paired and see what is connected. If not I would follow Duain's advise as far as the Bluetooth connection troubleshooting is concerned, however I would first hook it up wired first to see if the speaker still works. Also, plug it into the wall while doing the troubleshooting. Then, when you are done and find it works (hopefully) unplug it from the wall to check the battery function. You might also try the usb dongle (if you are not using it) to boost the signal. I have had mine for over a year and have not had an issue.

Mine did the same thing in Bluetooth mode. I have been using it for 2 weeks now plugged directly in and it hasn't done it yet. I'm also working with Sharkk via emails to see if they have a solution. I hope they do because I love this little speaker!

Make sure your connection to the charger is locked tight. Push it again then check lights.

Honestly it sounds like your light is damaged. The light should react when it hears sound. I have two of these lights. They are maybe 8 feet away from any speakers. When I play music in the man cave they go nuts. I can't say for sure what's wrong with your light, but the light is supposed to react to sound. The first light I purchased came damaged. I returned it and the second light worked fine.
