Protect factory reset not working

[Teisen]

After some network changes, my  Nest Protect went offline. After several attempts to get it reconnected, I decided to do the factory reset.

Following the instructions found all over the interwebs, I pushed the button until it started saying the version number, released the button, got the warning and the 10 second countdown. So it *seems* to work.

But I still cannot connect. And if I press the button it says "Ready in the bedroom - press to test". So it does not seem to have cleared the settings. It is also not prompting for Language setup or anything else.

So it really seems as if the factory reset is not working.

Please help. Thank you.

Zoe - as explained in my original issue i have tried to follow thr reset guidance and specifically created this case because it is not working. How come you would then recommend the same steps again? Please escalate to someone able to read my original request and suggest a fix. Thank you kindly.
