 OK, my one month old HomePod mini suddenly died. It wouldn't power on even with a definitely live AC outlet and a different power supply. The online reset instructions say to unplug it for 10 seconds, plug it back in, wait 10 seconds, then touch the pad on the top for a while. And you'll see a white-red spinning light indicating it's in progress. When I did this, nothing happened. No flickering lights. So I went to the Apple Store. Luckily, not too far away and expected to have to get a replacement. But the genius just sighed. And while plugging in the HomePod, still no lights said, watch this. He then rested a finger on the top pad for a good 30 seconds. Boom, it sprang back to life. Half a minute is beyond my threshold of waiting in cases of a reset. But I guess not anymore. He said he'd seen it take a full minute and then we're told to wait two minutes, all right?
