Common Issues and Easy Fixes

Alright, let's tackle the most common problems you might run into with your Infinity Bluetooth speaker. Before you start thinking about complicated repairs, let's explore some quick and easy solutions. These often work like a charm and can save you a whole lot of time and headache. We're talking about the low-hanging fruit, the things you should try first before you start taking things apart. This initial troubleshooting can often resolve the issue, and you'll be back to enjoying your music in minutes. Plus, it’s always a good idea to eliminate the simple possibilities before diving into the more complex ones.

First up, let’s talk about power. Is your speaker actually turned on? Sounds obvious, right? But you'd be surprised how often this is the culprit. Make sure the power button is switched on and that the speaker has enough charge. If it's battery-powered, plug it in and let it charge for a bit, even if you think it has some juice left.
