    You really earned my Subscription with this video. I've had 3 of my 5 Alexas in Guard mode was starting to think there was no recovery from this glitch but it turned out to be a user error. I can't seem to stop myself from trying new commands. Your suggestion to use "disable guard mode" did the trick and the circling cyan light is finally off. Thanks loads!

    Thanks you saved me. Mine had a spinning ring with cyan, it was doing that for hours. I unplug the power and replug it after 20-30 seconds, which didn't solve my issue. The factory reset work like a charm.

    Brilliant! Thank you so much. My Echo Dot last night started just spinning blue and green and the only way to stop it was to unplug it. The factory reset sorted it and my devices are all working properly again. I have also subscribed.

    I'm new to my Echo, so still learning. My rotating blue ring w/cyan went out on it's own, so must have been an update. Thank you.

    Thank you! Mine was spinning blue/cyan for DAYS, was about to throw it out because I thought it would never work again. You have to hold the reset button for 1 minutes (not 30 seconds) then the orange light comes back on.

    I had to reset mine and is working fine now but that cyan blue cycling light came out of nowhere with no warning other than disconnecting and reconnecting to Bluetooth on its own.

    They are costly light blue light. Circling on both of them that would not go off

  • @bahamutbbob
    @bahamutbbob 2 месяца назад

    My Echo Dot 2 had almost no issues for years. I just recently upgraded to an Echo 4, and it feels like it gets stuck with the blue ring with one cyan spot slowly (and I mean slowly) rotating quite often. I was hoping this video might have a permanent fix, alas...
    Gotta reboot it when that happens.

    Here's the thing... my Alexa's stuck on a half cyan half blue rotating light. it has been like this for nearly 48 hours. I have tried unplugging it and re-plugging it in again, pressing the buttons in various orders, (all the buttons work except the one that lets you manually get its attention) and I have even just flat out tried saying Alexa multiple times at different volumes.
    Other notice: It doesn't show time like it's supposed to either.
    Edit: I fixed it, but I should not have done what I did at 11:30 at night. now I have to wait until morning to re set it up. whoops. glad its fixed tho.

      @adrianruiz_yt 9 месяцев назад

      I just solved the situation with mine! I'll tell you. I left the "Command" button pressed until my finger hurt HAHA, it was a long time, but it did factory reset. Then I just had to set it up as if it was new. It didn't lose my data like my Amazon account, my Spotify connection or anything.
      Hope that can work with yours! Regards!@@hannahgould114

  • @danielagutierrez8453
    @danielagutierrez8453 8 месяцев назад

    Nothing worked, and then all of a sudden, my Alexa finished doing what it was doing, and I just had to open my app and reconnect 😅 Also for some insight, this never ending blue with cyan light started spinning since like 3am and I disconnected it... when I woke up, it went to that immediately, so I disconnected. When I got home, I connected it again and went back to that. I went to make dinner, came back and started watching this tutorial and lo and behold, it rebooted herself and started sipping in orange ready to connect.

    What about a blue ring with cyan that continually spins, does not stop, does respond to voice, does not respond to any button presses, does not respond to reset command or any commands, and continues the blue spin with cyan whether you unplug it for 60 seconds or 3 days. Nothing makes it come out of that loop.
    The This is what I have right now with my echo premium sound. Is the echo just a paperweight now?

    • @Roscothebosco1

      Hi, yes it does indeed. Updates typically happen automatically so you'll see the blue light spin occasionally on its own for a while and then reboots after the update is complete
