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?
ANSWERS:
"Bose SoundLink Color Troubleshooting
Speaker will not turn on when connected to AC power
Applies to: SoundLink Color Bluetooth® speaker
Please try the following to resolve your issue:
Make sure your system is connected to a working AC (mains) outlet
Make sure you are using the Bose power supply that shipped with your speaker. While the speaker can be physically connected to other USB power chargers, the Bose power supply is recommended for best results
If you are using a surge protector, try plugging directly into a working wall outlet
Make sure both ends of the power supply cable are firmly connected"
"Bose Soundlink Color plugged into wall but not turning on and no charging light visible?
If you don't have the ""three-dots"" button, try this - it puts the Soundlink into shipping mode and returns it to normal:
- Plug soundlink in to wall charger
- Hold down the play/pause button for 15 seconds.
- Then, BEFORE releasing the play/pause button, unplug the charge cord from the unit.
- Release the button
- Plug the unit back into the wall charger.
- Press the power button, and your unit should power on."
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.
Downloaded the update software that covers all Bose products. http://btu.bose.com/#section=device
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.
