Just been on a chat with a very helpful google employee - the fix was to unplug for 10 seconds, plug back in wait for the 4 white lights, unplug again for 10 seconds and repeat 10 times. After that press the mute button on the back for at least 15 seconds and it will reset. I was dubious, but it did actually work!

Hi everyone,
We’re back with another update — our engineering team has been working hard on this issue and we have identified a fix for the problem. The recent firmware update exposed a flash memory issue found in a small number of Google Home and Home Mini devices which causes the filesystem to become corrupted and the device to stop working. We have rolled out an update to address the issue and prevent future corruption. In the meantime, our support team will continue reaching out to customers whose devices have been impacted on this thread via private messaging to further address this issue and come to a resolution.
Again, we appreciate your patience as we’ve worked to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Rachel

I don’t have the 3 dots in the top right. Under device settings I have a banner that says some settings are unavailable right now.

Hi John,
Sorry to hear that you are seeing some odd LEDs.
Has the Mini been set up and working before?
Try unplugging it for a few minutes and try again.
If you are still having trouble, let us know.

I have left it unplugged for an entire day and still no change. This is very upsetting as I have only had this for about 2 weeks. I was able to set it up and it worked beautifully for about 2 weeks.

I would like to add that it took mine a total of 17 unpluggings before it actually reset.
