HomePod 16.3 killed two of my HomePod Minis

[Sound214]

So, I updated all of my four HomePod Minis to 16.3, which seems to have killed the two oldest ones. No light, no nothing. I’ve tried having them unplugged for a while but no sign of life at all. Anyone else?

Plug one into your Mac and see if that fixes it.

Thank you for the tip. Unfortunately I tried that already and it didn’t show up.

YouTub has some videos on how to reset / restart the HomePod mini's.

Unplug from power, wait 10 seconds, plug back into power, wait 10 seconds, touch and hold the top display. Display will turn from white to red (keep your finger holding on the display). You’ll hear a voice prompt “Your HomePod is about to reset, keep holding until you hear 3 beeps”. *beep beep beep*. Let go of the top display. The HomePod should now be factory reset and ready to pair.

I’m all too familiar with this 🤦‍♂️

Thanks for the tip! I tried that already too, and it didn’t work. The top display doesn’t work at all. There’s simply no light whatsoever.

Uggh. Do you have Apple Care or are they still under warranty?

This 16.3 downdate is driving me up a wall. It feels like they just re-released 16.0.
