Hey Tltaylor40,

 

Sorry to hear about your Google Home Mini, but thanks for bringing this up. I would love to dig deeper into this. Please reboot your device and plug it in on a different power outlet - just to check if you will have the same issue. If it's still the same, proceed with resetting the device. Follow these steps below to know how:

 

  • On the bottom of Home Mini, press and hold the factory reset button located below the power cord. Look for a circle etched into the base. After 5 seconds, your device will begin the factory reset process. Continue to hold for about 10 seconds more, until a sound confirms that the device is resetting.

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Cheers,

Muddi

Thanks for your help, much appreciated!

Hi. I just found this thread and I wanted to see if there is anything else I can try. I have rebooted 10+ times, hard reset, changed outlets, removed from the hanging case, wiggled the button countless times, unplugged for 3 days, and basically lost my mind. 

Oh wow, I feel your frustration.  I finally got results when I had to move.  Unplugged for 3 weeks, so far so good.

Hi everyone,

 

Thanks for sharing details about the issue here, and apologies for the delays. I know the feeling of not having a working device when needed. After looking into these reports, the team recommends resetting your device by following the steps below:

 

At the bottom of Home Mini, press and hold the factory reset button located below the power cord. Look for a circle etched into the base. After 5 seconds, your device will begin the factory reset process. Continue to hold for about 10 seconds more, until a sound confirms that the device is resetting.

If the above steps don't work, you may be running into a hardware issue. Please reach out to us to get immediate support at this link: https://bit.ly/3adTfGB

 

Hope this helps.
