Brand new doorbell blinking yellow won't reset

Everything was good, while adding the device it said it was installing and updated that never finished and now it's blinking yellow and won't allow a hard reset.  I removed the doorbell from any power source and it's still blinking yellow.

 

Hard reset not working just continues to blink yellow.

 

Please help,

What is your transformer rated for? It needs to be rated for 16-24 V AC, 10-40 VA. Is it possible your doorbell isn't getting enough power?

Upgrade your transformer for Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) - Google Nest Help

I just bought one and plugged it in flashing yellow light so I bought the transformer plugged in. And it's still flashing yellow. What do I do?

Hi there,

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with this. No worries; we'll check this out. If you have already changed the transformer and are still getting a yellow blinking light, we need to verify if you are getting at least 24 volts on the two wires. Do you have a voltmeter? If so, Here is the steps on how to use a voltmeter.

1. Set the dial to 200 VAC. If the multimeter doesn’t have a 200 setting, choose 100 or 250 VAC.

2. Place the black lead and red lead on any of the two wires being tested from the transformer.

3. The normal readout should be somewhere between 20 and 30 V (24 V is most common).
 

I look forward to your response.

Best,
Edmond
