Red light on Hub 3

Tv8
Tuning in

Hello, am just after some advice please re. the Hub 3.  The indicator light is now constantly on red, where as before it was white. I've read that this can be due to over-heating.  I tried rebooting which didn't work and also switched it off completely last night.  I rebooted it back up this morning, it didn't feel particularly hot, but the red light is still on.  It has enough ventilation (it has been in the same position for years), but I have only recently noticed this change.

Would be grateful for any help.  Many thanks.

Thanks Lee,

I’ve not received the message yet, would you be able to resend please? Thank you.

Hi @Tv8 thanks for getting back to me. 

That area fault had been extended by 24 hours sorry and is only just recorded as fixed.  Since the issue has been recorded as resolved, can I ask you to attempt a pinhole reset of your hub? It essentially takes your hub back to factory settings, but clears many issues.

Regards


Lee

Hi Lee,

Thanks for the update. I have performed the pin reset, but unfortunately the light changed to red straight away. It did briefly change to a white/yellow colour, but it's now back on red again.

Many thanks.
