HomePod power adaptor is correct, still flashing

Reset the HomePod1, finally updated and started working again.

Used a power adaptor from another working HomePod2 to fix the issue.

Used another adaptor from another HomePod3 and HomePod2 (Working unit) and now HomePod 1 is flashing orange?



HomePod mini, 16

Thank you for your input.

Now it is fixed! I Unplugged the unit for an hour and plugged it into the same power supply.

Now working…


Stranger things? Maybe the units needed to release all of the stored energy to reset?


It just finished updating and is now playing music.


Steps: Orange Ring of death…

Step 1: Unplug the unit and leave disconnected for an hour.

Step 2: Plug in the unit, and enjoy.

Purchase last year. Apple requires a meeting with Genius Bar to get a look at it.

A little frustrating, but I will follow the process.

Irony: I took it in and they looked at it, as it was not working at all.

They did not have a Genius Bar tech available and required an appointment to fit my schedule.

I brought it home, plugged it in, reset the unit and it worked fine. Replace the power supply with another unit, as I misplaced the original supply unit. It was working, but I placed a different power supply from a working HomePod and it started with the flashing orange light of death…. So I placed the power supply on the unit that was working. Same result.

At this point a mystery… Not a power supply issue, but I agree it’s a unit issue. Odd that it worked fine, and now nothing. Seems really particular to work.

Unit will not reset again…
