How to solve the google home mini issue: "your mic is off" "your mic is on" while mic button is on. Solution with no soldering, that allows for the mic button still to be usable after the fix.
No music, no voiceover. Silence. ;)
Perfect! The best solution! No soldering, no breaking - just an old fashioned fix.
I'm so glad that I found this video - de that I didn't follow one of the other complicated ones which had permanently changed the device.
I'm also feeling very proud that I managed to fix my device. A big thank you for making the video! ❤️
I wonder why a company like google is creating junk. A lot of people would have thrown this in the rubbish tip. I have two of these and both have the same problem. Thanks for saving these.
It worked!!! 👏Thank you so much! For anyone wondering, use a T6 screwdriver. 🪛
Thank you for this info!! Was able to find a cheap set on Amazon!
Excellent tutorial, our home mini is now working as it should be, nothing else fixed the issue until following your instructions so many thanks
Thank you. It truly worked. I followed all your steps, and worked! Im amazed. Had to buy the screw driver from amazon. Your help is truly appreciated.
This was a really great fix, solved my problem and only took 15 minutes. The most difficult thing was getting the rubber base off but the hairdryer did the trick.
This was a perfect tutorial!!! It fixed the problem.
My wife is happy to be playing her music while she is cooking again.
Thanks!!!
Thank you. This is the true fix, not like some other vids where you break off the entire black box (which may solve the issue forever, but is permanently disabling mute function). Problem is the metal plate and contacts rusting over time. All is needed is a good scratch and wipe.
they were made to do this because most people will buy a new one!!! thanks even though i broke it i now know how to fix it!
Wanted to say thank you OP! Wonderfully detailed review of the switch cleaning. I think it worked like a champ. Back up and running... now waiting to see if I smash it with a hamm... I mean see how well it works. Thanks again!
Excellent, genius, the best solution, working 100% ! thank you !!!🙏
Thank you so much. My home mini is working properly again because of you and your video. Excellent job!
To avoid future problems add some dielectric grease on the contacts so they don't corrode over time.
Thank you for posting this! My mini is now back online and good as new.
Excellent!! This solution worked like a charm. Thank you so much
This was magic dude, thank you so much, fixed the issue perfectly!
Thank you for an clear amazing tutorial i was able to fix mine following yours :)
Great! Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for!
Cool!THANKS! I'll try that on my speaker to see if it works because it's driving me crazy with the mics on , the mics back off.
I did have it in the bathroom so it makes sense. Maybe put some vaseline on the contacts to prevent it from happening again ?
Might not be from using it in the bathroom, as it happens in dry environment as well. If the vaseline is non-conductive, you might have the opposite effect, i wouldn't do it. However, if you keep it in the bathroom, do not scratch the contacts as I did. First try only to bend the small fins and see if it works.
Worked like a dream, thank you 😀
This is a great tutorial and all, but I'll just buy another one LMBO. I have Echo dots and an Echo show. They work better and don't have this error. Get an Echo Dot (Alexa speaker) and also you can replace these with a used one for like 10 dollars. Worth it to me rather than doing all this taking apart to fix.
Fantastic! Works like a charm!!
Brilliant, work's perfect now 👍
Legend. That worked perfectly. Thank you.
Same issue. Looks promising. What Torx size is it?
I just sprayed some electronics cleaner in the switch and turned it off an on a bunch of times. Still had to open it up to get to it though.
So lame. I guess Google used a cheap switch to save a few cents, all for a function that few people use. I just hard wired the switch to the ON position.
Thank you so much!!! Perpect!!!
Thank you so much it worked for me as well. Much appreciated.
brilliant, thank you so much
Thank you
This did the trick :) thanks!
Worked great, Thanks!
Super Merci
Perfect! Thanks!
Already removed switch of gnest mini but still having "mic off" issue. Is there any other way to correct this?
Make sure you have soldered together the right pins after removing the switch (recheck the tutorials about removing the switch). Otherwise there might be other problems, lose wire or faulty mic.
I have the same problem, but when I use the hairdryer the part below doesn't come off... it seems to be hermetically closed
It's not easy to take it off. It needs to be warm (not hot, risking to melt the plastic) and you have to lift it with a thin tool, making sure you go under the stiff plastic sheet that is the base of the red rubber.
@@TheVanTill Ok, mission accomplished,I had to warm it a little bit more... Thanks for the video!
I can't get the screws out😢
Why replace the anti-customer sticker?
What is that?
no volume
my mic switch has never been touched in 2 years why now would that be the cause of mic off error sounds sonfware related to me
Same in my case. Never touched that switch in 2-3 years, but somehow it failed...
If you actually spoke.. I might understand what you did. 🙁
This vid is for people with minimum skills in using a screwdriver.
I agree
