My HomePod has been at the white spinning light like forever. I tried resetting it by pressing my finger on top of my HomePod and hold for 5 seconds, it turns red but I did not hear any beeps as suggested. Once I lifted my finger, the white spinning light appears again. I’m based in Singapore and the apple service center in Singapore doesn’t support HomePod.
If it still won’t reset , try these options:
Restart HomePod

. Scroll down and select Reset HomePod. Then tap Restart HomePod.
Remove HomePod from the Home app

It’s very important you count to 5 twice as instructed
Try again
Or try to Use the Home app to reset HomePod- instructions in the link below:
”definitely more than 5 second) and counted for more than 5 seconds“
No. don’t go over 5 seconds! It’s 5 seconds. Try it again
As soon as you plug it back in, as the prongs are inserted in the outlet, start counting to five, then put your finger on
Hi,
I did unplug for awhile (definitely more than 5 second) and counted for more than 5 second after plugging it back to power. I have done resetting the device before so I know what to expect. However, for this time, Siri did not respond at all (it supposed to say my HomePod is about to reset). It returns to the white spinning light state once I lifted my fingers.
HomePod won’t reset. Urgent help needed!
