This happened after <6 month service, I was about to replace batt but found:

“Turn on the speaker, then push and hold the Bluetooth pairing button for at least 20 seconds. When you release the button, the speaker should restart.”

Ck this first BUT a replacement batt is always good idea.

my killburn doesn't respond when unplugged, but works fine when plugged in, but the red charging indicator shows the battery is charging indefinitely.
