Nest hub 2nd generation blurred display

MotheB — Sun, 04 Jun 2023 13:01:47 GMT

My Nest Hub (2nd generation) recently got "almost black screen". I do see blurred lines, and I can see them changing, but it is not possible to actually see anything on the screen, as it is 95% black and faulty. Otherwiae, hub is working.

I read somewhere that factory reset could be a fix (makes sense), and that is what I did. That was a mistake because I can't add the hub zo my home anymore. If the screen is bricked, well, ok, but can I still somehow add the device to my home so I can use it as speaker?

I can't scan qr code because screen is faulty, also, I can't find 8 digit setup code anywhere...

P. S. Ive heared this could be from recent firmware upgrade, but, since I did factory reset, it is not connected to internet anymore, and can't update with faulty screen.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi MotheB,

Thanks for reaching out.

We're sorry to hear about this experience. Since when did you notice these changes on your Google Nest Hub? Did you try asking your Google Nest Hub some commands and check if it responds to your commands? Lastly, could you please provide a photo of the exact display you're getting so we can check on it further?

Best,

Princess

Sorry for the late response,

unfortunately, the screen has gone completely black now. I tried now to find one youtube video from a person who had exactly the same problem as I did but with no luck.

Anyway, the screen is now completely black. I can unplug it and plug it in again, I can hear it turns on (I can hear a "turn on" sound). Also, I can confirm that voice recognition worked even with a faulty screen, however, after a factory reset it ignores me.

I can also see my Google Home app recognises "a new device", but I can't add it without the setup code.

Hello MotheB,

Chiming in, could you tell us when and where you purchased your device? Also, you can see the setup code engraved at the bottom of your device. You can enter it manually to setup your device.

Cheers,

Hi Muddi,

well, I actually bought two new Nest hubs, but, no, no luck in finding the setup code. This one seems to be lost, for now.

Photo not sure if I'm missing something, tho...
