JBL Link 10 & JBL Link 20 HELP!
« on: July 29, 2020, 05:46:35 PM »
I was thrilled to see THIS deal on DDMS as I've seen first hand how great the JBL portable speakers are.

It worked great as a bluetooth speaker for a few minutes (playing a shiur) but chromecast on my phone sensed it and prompted me to open the Google Home app to complete setup.
After registering a google account it started to update the software but seems to have gotten bricked halfway through. Lights are still on but none of the buttons work. Inserting a pin into the little hole for resetting did nothing.

Any ideas?

Thanks. I tried all of those. None worked. :(

Called Google Home CS and spoke with them for 20 minutes (although I suspect it's a bunch of robots forwarding to each other) she/ it said 4 or 5 times that "there are known issues with the Google Home app"  "I am only trained in Google Home and the google Home app products."

[This is the number I called 18559719121]
ETA: Definitely a robot. Clearly a womens voice but got an email from "George of Google Home Support team following up on our conversation "

Update: Let the battery drain completely. Plugged it back in and seems to work fine.
