If of no success...


Perhaps this is a Faulty Device?:

You have a one-year, out-of-the-box, limited-warranty on this. So, see if you can get a replacement from Apple.

Apple Support Contact Info:

If you cannot fix this, then contact Apple Support:

Note: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
