Why won't my SoundLink Color turn on?

Why won't my SoundLink Color turn on? My speaker won't turn on when it is not plugged in, even after charging it for hours. What should I do to fix this?

"Well...I'm suggesting that someone up vote this as the answer...and not the copy and pasted solution from the product manual, which wasn't working.

I went to Bose' support forum and found this:

https://www.soundtouch.com/CommunityDeta...

""We had identified an issue with the original software which may have caused the issue you are experiencing with the charging and power on.

If you update the system with the latest software version, you should then be able to power on the speaker without issue. For details and instructions on how to perform that update, visit the link below:

"Downloaded the update software that covers all Bose products. http://btu.bose.com/#section=device

3 minutes to install and it now powers on and pairs on battery power only. As long as I don't let the battery get too low that I get a warning the settings hold and the issue does not repeat itself.

Charge the battery after any extended use."

Plug it into you laptop or PC and download the Bose updater and it will recognize and update the speaker to the latest firmware and it will work like new.

"So nothing worked for me, holding the power button , play/pause button etc. So, I connected the speaker to the laptop and updated the driver, while the driver was updating the light started to blink. What a relief, I thought it had become a brick.

Thanks everyone."
