Nest cam indoor IQ not working

I have tried everything possible to get my camera going.  It used to be working but now it doesnt.  when i plug in in turns light blue briefly then disappear. I have tried different outlets etc.  Unplug and plug back in. every time i try to use the app to connect it cannot find the camera or it says try different outlet, or to reset to factory setting which i have done everything.  It is so inconsistent. 

 

Also why is there not a contact number or a actual support help for this, instead i had to read 100s of artifacts on this page and still cannot resolve anything.

Hi Rodvar,  I'm an end user like you.  Most likely your power adapter has stopped working or the camera is actually dead at this point.  If it is past 1 year Google will not help you nor will they sell you a  new adapter.   You can buy replacement power adapter on Amazon from 3rd party companies.  But more than likely your path of easiest solution is to buy a user camera from eBay.   I have done that twice and they are both running very well over a year.

Here is the power adapter that should work but keep in mind it is not rated for outdoor use.
