Google will replace bricked Home smart speakers

Google will reportedly replace Google Home and Google Home Mini devices that have stopped working as the result of a recent firmware update.

This is after several users reported that their devices had been acting up over the course of the year.

In some cases, the devices had become completely unresponsive, with all four LEDs lighting up. While a reboot or factory reset fixed the issue on a couple of the devices, many were still unusable.

Good to see that they are doing the right thing this time around. In the past I had a Nexus device that was bricked by a bad firmware update. In that case Google neither came up with a fix nor a replacement. The only option was to throw it in the bin and go out and buy an Apple device.

Good ol Gary do you know there's other android manufacturers apart from Google?
