Hello,

One of my Homeys crashed and they produce a weird crackling noise (see linked youtube videos)  
Recovery mode by holding it upside down won’t work.

Is there any other way to bring it back to life?

Your video’s are marked “private” and cannot be watched. Can you make them public?

Without having seen them; you can always try another (min 2A) power supply.  
And what happens when you try to put Homey in recovery mode?

This almost always points to a failing power supply. As suggested, try replacing it.

Thx, seen them now. First step should be replacing the power supply. Make sure it is 2 Ampere minimal.

Yes this worked. Homey is up and running again.
