Google Display not working

Hiya. I have read a few comments on this forum regarding a blank screen with a G in the middle. I have tried to a factory reset twice and both times it came back with a G on the screen after the reboot

Hey SuziOshea,

 

Thanks for these details. I know how challenging it can be not to have a working device when needed. Rest assured that our team is aware of this and is already looking into it. I'd like to gather some details — when did the this start? Are you using the official power adapter that came with the Nest display? Also, have you tried plugging the device to a different power outlet?

 

Please try these steps below that may help you fix the issue:

  1. Place the device in Recovery Mode (unplug the device then hold down (long press) the volume up and volume down buttons while you plug in the device. Release the volume button once the device turns back on.)
  2. Attempt a factory reset once device boots into Recovery Mode (hold down (long press) both volume up and volume down buttons at the same time.)

Let me know how it goes.

 

Cheers,

Muddi

Hey there. Thanks for getting back to me. It only started happening today. It is the original adapter cord and I have tried several power outlets. I have also rebooted it several time. Still nothing. 
 
Thanks

Hi Jake. At this point, I would just appreciate some honesty. I have been holding out hope that someone will talk to me and resolve this issue. I’ve given up now. Do I just move on and buy an Apple product? 

SuziOshea

Ok Google, stop with the pretense that anyone actually cares about customers. If I reached out to you and said my google display isn't working and you replied, "oh well, just buy a new one!", I would have appreciated your honesty and moved on months ago. The fact that you have kept stringing me along, making promises that someone will be in touch and a replacement will be sent, that's what has driven me mad. Just admit that the whole team is hugely incompetent, you turn far too big of a profit to actually care about any customers on an individual level, and you're not at all sorry for any inconvenience you have caused.  Apple is no better as an organisation than google, but they at least have physical stores with real people and actual phone lines manned by humans. Take note...

@Muddi I was told it will take weeks until a senior adviser will review my case of the bricked Hub. With so many instances of the SAME issue why do you need an individual review of each case ?

Hey SuziOshea,

 

Thanks for reaching out, and apologies for the delayed response.


A case has been created for you. Please check your inbox to confirm.

 

@stanase: Please note that due to current restrictions we have limited support agents available that's why it is possible to take weeks for us to review the case. However, we are doing our best to assist our users as fast as we can. Please provide your case ID if you have a pending case with us, so I can check it immediately.

About two weeks ago the nest hub went to a black screen, only the letter "G" appeared and it did nothing else. With the solution number 1 that is in this same post the problem was solved. Now it turned on and I was able to set it up again. Thank you very much for the solution Mudy!!!
