New Nest Audio not working out of the box

Cyberkinetic — Fri, 12 Aug 2022 18:22:09 GMT

I just unboxed a new Nest Audio but it seems to be faulty from the start. When i powered it up, it started with 2 middle white leds turning on, then to 4 dim white leds which then becomes brighter after a sec or so and then it stays there. Four constant on white leds.

I read about the factory reset, so i tried that, but turning the mic off, didn't cause the white leds to turn orange, and placing my finger at the middle area for 5 secs or more, doesn't trigger any response from the device as well.

I then tried the plug in-plug out-wait for 10secs and repeat again for 10 times, it's still the same, 4 white leds constant on.

Occasionally after i plug in, and after the 2 middle leds turns white and then all 4 turns on... The 4 leds will start a sequence of moving from left to right and repeating for less than a minute before all leds turn off and that's it.

I've not heard any voice prompt throughout since i unboxed it. Not a single sound of of the speaker since powering up.

Does it look like the device is a dead-on-arrival?
