Google Home died

Screen is black and does not factory reset. I’ve tried unplugging it and plugging it back in and changing outlets. Is there anything else we can try?

Hi Sleaman,

 

Thanks for reaching out. I am sorry to hear that your Google Nest Hub is suddenly encountering this issue. That is definitely concerning, and I would be more than happy to help. 

 

First, could you both try these new troubleshooting steps? It's a little different as it includes a 'Recovery Mode' step.

  • For: Google Nest Hub (1st gen)
    • Please ensure that you are using the official power adapter that came with the Nest display.
    • Please plug your device in a different power outlet, and then attempt a reboot.
    • If this issue is unresolved, please perform the workaround below:
      • Place the device in Recovery Mode 
        • (unplug the device then hold down the volume button while plugging the device back in. Release the volume button once the device turns back on.)
      • Attempt a Factory Data Reset once the device boots into Recovery Mode 
        • (hold down both volume up and volume down buttons at the same time.)  
  • For: Google Nest Hub (2nd gen) and Google Nest Hub Max
    • Please ensure that you are using the official power adapter that came with the Nest display.
    • Please plug your device in a different power outlet, and then attempt a Factory Data Reset.
    • If this issue is unresolved, perform the workaround below:
      • At the back of the Nest display, unplug the power cord and wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in and wait until the screen with G logo shows up
      • Repeat step one, 10 more times. (For a complete total of 11 times).
      • After plugging the power cord back in, wait a few moments for the device to reset. It will announce "Welcome to Google Home" to signify that it's ready for setup.

I look forward to your response and helping you get this issue resolved. Please keep me updated, thanks. 


Best,

Dan
