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

Try the following:
- Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi as your Google Home Mini device.
- Make sure the Mini is powered at a wall outlet, not on a USB port or power strip outlet.
- Open the Google Home app
.
- In Home
, tap the Mini device you want to reboot.
- In the top right corner of the device card, tap the Settings
.
- In the top right corner of the Device settings, tap the More button
Reboot.
.
, tap the Mini device you want to reboot.
.

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.
