Hi
My Nest IQ Outdoor camera stopped working after 10 months of being absolutely fine. There appears to be no power to the camera (no blue light and no red light). I have tried the cable and power supply from another working camera with no success. I've tried the other way round and the cable/supply from the 'faulty' camera powers a good camera ok. Due to no sign of life there is nothing I can do to restore the camera to factory settings or blame the WiFi - it really appears to be a hardware issue.
There is some blackening to the male USBC which goes into the camera. Looking in the internet it seems a reasonably common fault for there to be an issue with the connector in the back of the camera.
I've emailed the retailer from whom I purchased the camera 10 months ago and they have told me that because the camera is older then 6 months it should be returned to Nest for replacement.
I might be wrong but this is the only way I've found to contact Nest.
regards
Russell

open a tech support ticket directly with google before the end of the warranty, which I think is 1 year.

Hi
Sorry to bother you again but I'm struggling to find a way to contact Google to log a call. Both chat and requesting a call don't appear to work. I guess they make it difficult but I didn't realise it would be this difficult.
Any chance you could advise what I should do? eg a link
thanks
