I have a first gen home hub and had noticed a blue ring on the screen over the last few months and wondered what it was, then this morning the screen failed and is just a series of lines like yours but over the whole screen.  It seems that this is a common problem and Google don't want to acknowledge it. There are postings all over the web about this problem. Looks like my Google Home hub will become another mini as it still responds and answers questions, just doesn't have a display anymore.

Hey folks,

 

Thanks for reaching out. I know how challenging it is when you're having screen issue on your Google Nest Hub. To confirm, is this a 1st gen or 2nd generation Nest Hub? When and where did you purchase the device? Also, what are the steps that you've done so far? If you have an existing case ID, please share it here so I can check what happen.

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Cheers,

MUddi

Hi, It is a first gen device and a few years old, definitely out of warranty, but I am surprised it failed.  Being on always (except when you switched the lights off) must shorten the life of these devices.  When I did a google search about the issue I found plenty of posts with photos that were exactly what I witnessed.  It started as a blue rectangle in the middle of the screen.  Then one morning last week it died (the night before it was working fine). I have bought another Hub (Gen 2) as I like the product and the Gen 1 has been relocated to somewhere where a screen is not required. It still works as a mini type device.

Hi Muddi,

I don't have a case ID, I am simply making comments of my experience, happy to discuss further, however I am in Australia and the time difference will make it challenging (depending on where you are).

Hi Muddi,

I don't think there is anything you can do. I think the device was purchased from Officeworks (Australia), but would be 3 or more years ago. My purpose in putting this post up was to highlight that this is not an isolated problem. I am out of warranty well and truly. Thanks for reaching out.

Hi GnanabalaN,

 

Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear that you'll be getting a replacement for your device. Please edit your post and remove the serial number of your device because it is considered as your personal information.

 

@Bernieboo: We understand where you're coming from. Our team investigated the issue that you have with your device and found out that this is more on a hardware and not a software issue, and replacing it will depends on the warranty.

 

Cheers,

Muddi
