I am having the same issue with the power button, after having this unit for only a week, the power button does not appear to be working. The first few days, it did appear to work, although it needed to be held down a long period of time. Can tech support please clarify whether this is a known defect, or is there a fix for this?
Can you describe how it has stopped working? The standard power button operation is a 2s hold (the BT LED will flash) and then the PCB will fire on. We designed this deliberately, as the battery is always connected and we wanted to avoid inadvertent power ons.
If you can more thoroughly describe your issue, I can help figure it out.
I have the same problem. I hardly used it and there is not tactile click in the power button. I used to be able to turn it off, but now it won't unless I take out the battery.
I can't turn it on now.
Hello,
This issue is covered by warranty. Please reach out to HProServiceUSA@harman.com
Same issue, EON One power button recessed into the case and can't be pressed. I have emailed JBL/Harman in Australia. Seems like a poor design - the 3 second delay with on/off and the button type. Power button is also difficult to see if it's turned on or off when used during the day outdoors as well.
@Joel_3 The power button design of elongated press is by design so you don't unintentionally turn on your unit while on battery and drain your power. If you've pressed in your power button entirely, I'd recommend contacting your local warranty department as that's a covered problem
The power button on my Eon compact longer working can it be repaired or replaced? Please let me know what to do about this as this is supposed to be a quality machine?
The power button on my Eon Compact got stuck when I pressed it. I managed to get it to release and work again, but I'm worried it might happen again.
The power button issue is covered by warranty. Please contact your JBL pro service center to address.
I just got my Eon Compact a couple of days ago. I read it is supposed to be a two-second delay before turning on. Mine has a consistent ten-second delay before it powers on. I think I am going to return it. Between the firmware fails, the lame-ass app that doesn't work, and this issue I may be done with buying JBL products ever again. What happened to this company? It's a shame.
It's a 2s hold to power on Entire PCBA takes about 8 seconds to fire on completely (all LEDs lit). With the firmware side, have you forgotten your speaker from your device list and tried again? Call our tech support line and we can help walk you through it.
If you remove the mixer panel (it's a torx screw, be very careful when removing from chassis), you'll be able to see and correct where the power button switches in. If you want to email me @ brandon.knudsen@harman.com and provide shipping information, I'll check if I have a spare part I can send you. I might also be able to get you a warranty repair.
What are the specifications for the button you substituted. I would like to try this. Did you completely reomove the board or leave it connected?
I saw your post in November 2021 about accessing a recessed power switch. I have the same situation. I see the mixing panel you reference, and there are a series of torx screws. Unless I am misinterpreting, you seem to infer there is only one (i.e., "...it's a torx screw...". I am concerned as to how I might obtain a replacement switch if it cannot be straightened. I am not sure if my speaker is under warranty or not. I've had it for about 18 months.
I was using the speaker at a party, and while I went inside to use the men's room, someone put their hands on my speaker not knowing how to use it. They were trying to turn it back on and they pressed it too hard. Please help.

Hi, just got the JBL Eon712 powered speaker. Sounds great. But I have issues with getting it on fast. Even though I hold the power button for 5 seconds or even 10 seconds it doesn't seem to power on. After a couple of attempts it fires up. How do I fix this ?
I have purchsed JBL EON one in 2021 since then every 2 months we need to send it to service center. 50% of warantee expired without using it. Every time they will fix button and again it will get stucked. I have requsted them to give me small on/off switch wich will not cost more than 1 dollar. BUt they do not listen.
I have many other speakers but this EON One has made my life pathetic.
They have no proper solution nor they accept their fault. Really fed up with this product.
Nice to know I'm not the only one having trouble with the power button. I even sent mine back to the dealer for another one - same issue. I'm thinking about taking it to the shop to have them put in a real on-off switch. Anybody know if that would work?
Wow - exactly. And there's nothing worse than getting to a gig and thinking your amp's not going to turn on! can't wait to try the double-tap trick below.
PS I Sent the first one back; the second does the same thing. It's an engineering-manufacturing finger pointing snafu, I bet. (Been there.)
I was seriously considering purchasing the Eon Compact One but after reading how many are having issues with the power button I will not. There is obviously an issue as is evidenced by the pattern of complaints. I haven’t read anywhere that the issue has been resolved by JBL. I’ll have to now consider between the Bose S1 plus or the EV 8. They appear yo have a better quality control. I’m truly disappointed as I was set on buying this PA.
It’s frustrating when a power button fails, especially if it’s a known issue across multiple devices. While repair might not be feasible, following this guide can help troubleshoot other potential problems or provide alternative solutions. Let’s hope a more permanent fix or recall is on the way!
