Hi. I just bought a new JBL On stage micro III. The problem is that when I put my Ipod on the dock the sound only comes from the iPod and the speaker doesn't produce any sound at all but when I push the iPod forward it works and when I release it, it doesn't play on the speakers again. Is it perhaps that the dock of the JBL is loose? I would really appreciate if you could help me solve this problem since my speakers are new. Thank you very much. :)

How can I get a replacement 30 pin docking board for my JBL on stage micro iii, sounds like its in karaoke mode with no or very little vocal volume, unless I wiggle the iPod some, Thanks in advance. JR.

might be a problem by the connection to the speakers

Buy a universal USB cord which has many different connecting ends. Easily available in electronic shops.
Connect USB 2.0 to the pendrive and the other end to JBL IPOD dock

Hello :

You have problem with the charging jack . Take it to the service .

good luck .

please rate !

I have had then same exact problem, except I had an ihome. I've done research on it for a way to fix it. basically what I have come to find is that the plug for the ipod is just cheaply made, and that there is basically no easy and cheap fix for it. However as long as you have an aux-in you can just simply avoid the problem by buying an eighth inch to eighth inch cord so that you can just simply plug you ipod into the aux-in. As long as you have the ipod plugged into the the aux-in, and aux mode is selected, it should play your music while charging.

The JBL Onstage Micro is supposed to disable recharging of the iPod when running off AAA batteries to avoid draining them, but sometimes this setting gets stuck even when the unit is plugged in through the AC adaptor. The workaround that I found is pulling out and reconnecting the iPod to the Onstage Micro (while both are powered on) and then unplugging and reconnecting the AC adaptor. Sometimes you have to repeat this process, but the iPod should start recharging after that. I tried it on the new 5th generation nano and this seems to work.

I can tell you that I have the on stage micro, bought this past winter. And it does charge my iPhone 3G. Works great, I love it.

I have had exactly the same problem having bought a JBL Radial Micro for my partner for Xmas for use with the Ipod Nano, i contacted JBL via their website and was advised to contact Harmen on 01707278100. I was advised that the new ipod nano (chromatic) would not charge on the JBL radial micro. They stated that this was due to Apple changing the charging pin in the new nano. I have since bought a JBL Stage III. I contacted Harmen before buying this and was advised that the Stage II would not work. Hope that this is of use.

Hi, I guess that's just a problem that can't be solved by yourself, you'll probably have to bring it back.

I have thesame speakerset, but I don't know how you can remove that thing where the ipod stands in. That plastic thing that comes in a lot of different sizes. I hope that you can help me with removing it and putting an other one in.
