Google home hub black screen

[emma1sargeant]

My home hub is displaying a black/dark screen.

I recently purchased a new power cable as the original one fell apart when I unplugged it to move it. I contacted Google support to be told they don't sell them and I should get any old 15w dc adaptor and it would work fine.

Well I've purchased 2 different ones and they do NOT work fine. All advice online is that it's a power issue and "use the original cable" but that's not an option. 

 I've rebooted it 11 times (also seems a ridiculous number) and it's made no difference.

Seems once a new device comes up there isn't any support for older ones. Genuine replacement parts is the very least that should be available as my unit is functioning fine just with a really dark and unreadable screen!
