Usually, Google’s Home line of smart speakers — now under the Nest banner — are updated without users even knowing.

Now, it seems like a recent update is bricking some devices. Worse yet, affected Home units can’t be fixed.

Reports of the update bricking Google Home devices have appeared on Google’s forums as well as on Reddit and was first reported by Android Police.

Following the update, home speakers are completely unresponsive with all of the device’s four LEDs lighting up. Some users have solved the issue by rebooting or factory resetting the smart speaker, though many haven’t found a solution to the problem.

Please help. Stuck Google home, 4 lights, no response no connection from r/googlehome
