    Bose Speaker Model 415859 not charging, bricked during update.

    I have this bluetooth speaker that came in for battery replacement, customer bought the original battery for replacement, the speaker was working connected to the charger, after installing the new battery i have 3.8v measured at the battery wires on the board, the old one was measuring a resistance instead of volts, i have connected the speaker to the charger and it was not drawing any current, not powering on.
    I have remembered that i have fixed the same model of the speaker a few months ago with the same behaviour not charging with original battery in good voltage after updating it to the latest software on they're website it started to charge so i did the same with this one , i have conected the speaker to bose website it started to update then at 71% it disconects from they're website the message says to reconect then after reconecting it , it shows that is up to date but the speaker does not respond when i press the buttons, i have a brick now.
    I managed to find the first speaker i have fixed , created a dump from that flash and tryed to flash this one with the same dump, but still nothing.
    Has anyone any idea or what else can i try ?

    i had a similar problem with a larger speaker.
    if you charge the battery or use a bench supply does it turn on?

    the one i had the old battery had killed a mosfet in the charging circuit so the replacement wouldnt charge.

      This spi flash MX25U3235F has an operating voltage of 1.8v.
      And also, read the working dump from the working speaker again and see what Status Register is set on it and the same one needs to be set and written to the chip of the faulty Bose Speaker.

          The installed Status register should show the programmer itself in the program log. What programmer do you have?

              Read the working dump from the working chip again, then click "Protect" and check the Status Register (check boxes) and remember them. Insert the damaged chip into the programmer, read it, go to "Protect" again, uncheck all boxes, and click "Write." Erase the chip and write the working dump. Then go to "Protect" and check the boxes that were on the working chip, and click "Write." That's it, done.

                I've done that and it didnt worked, i have read the working one and the status is in the picture, tryed what you told me with the broken one that had nothing checked in the protect and it didn't worked ,what i also tryed wast switching the memory ic from one speaker to another and none of them started, saddly when i put back the memory to the working one it didn't started no power when pressing the power button, so i had to reprogram it with bose updater and it started again , what i also weird is that it keept my connection with the phone, is that saved in the bluetooth memory or how does it work. Then why did it brick the memory when i put it on the other board...

                  thats concerning, i would check the voltage to the flashchip on the dead unit - maybe it's too high!

                    There may be a connection to the CSR8670 controller (Bluetooth Audio Platform), which also contains firmware inside (this firmware could also be corrupted).

                    It also happens that when reading the dump with a programmer from a working device, and then the same original chip is installed on the native device, this device stops working.

                      by keeper5511
                      I have a motherboard Asus strix Z490- g Gaming wifi and a 10th gen CPU. I have update BIOS to 2701 version but then I realized that I needed to update the ME firmware first. I didn't read the ASUS notice that said, "Before BIOS update, please download Intel ME update tool from ASUS support site. I updated the BIOS without doing this, and everything seemed fine until the system performed an Intel ME update and shut down permanently. Now the motherboard have "No power issue" and it seems dead!!! My attempts to reflash it were unsuccessful. Searching online, I found several people...

                      Fixed: Lenovo P14s Gen 1 (type 20Y1, 20Y2) Laptop (ThinkPad) bricked by a withdrawn BIOS update (r1buj82w)
                      by akwky
                      Hi!
                      Went dumpster-diving and found a bricked Lenovo P14S in trash, few weeks earlier. Symptoms - no screen, no POST, no beep, just keyboard LEDs flashing on powerup. Mute button+LED was responding though, and the display self-test was still working (via the key combo Ctrl+Fn+Power held for some seconds, see the Service manual).

                      Incidentally, Windows 11 have recently started auto-flashing computer BIOS in our region. Even more suspiciously, Lenovo has released a BIOS update just few days before the PC was trashed. About a week later, the BIOS update image has been oficially marked...

                      I have a Dell Precision T1650 MT workstation (of the following spec.) that was bricked yesterday when attempting to update the BIOS from A27 to A28 per:
                      - https://www.dell.com/support/home/en...-t1650/drivers > Dell Precision T1650 System BIOS

                      - Dell Precision T1650 mid tower Workstation
                      - Xeon E3-1225 V2
                      - 32Gb PC3-12800E RAM
                      - 4Tb SATA HDD
                      - motherboard: Dell part: 0C3YXR CN-0C3YXR-72200-39C-01GR-A02

                      I see now that others have experienced like issues e.g.:

                      I had to assemble a PC with this Z490-F Gaming motherboard and an i7-1700K CPU. Upon the first boot, the CPU LED was red and flashing. I realized that I needed to update the BIOS. I didn't read the ASUS notice that said, "Before BIOS update, please download Intel ME update tool from ASUS support site, and update ME firmware to Version 14.1.53.1649V1.1 to ensure optimized system settings." I updated the BIOS without doing this, and everything seemed fine until the system performed an Intel ME update and shut down permanently. My attempts to reflash it were unsuccessful.
