If you still use the original Athom power supply, try replacing it.

Also, what does “not working” actually mean? Do they throw errors? What happens if you test a flow?

Have you tried testing the flows using the “Test” (standard) or “Start” (advanced) button?

First I’d like to recommend (temporary) replacing the power supply and the cable with a 5V / 2A or up Samsung or iPhone one.

Then start Homey in Recovery and select “Full software download”  
Nothing should get lost.  
Several users confirmed this as solution.

> This option is only for Homey (Pro) models “Early 2016”, “Early 2018” and “Early 2019” so Only the White Ball’s Sometimes you need the extra options, things hidden for normal use, for example: Full Firmware download Complete Reset to sell your old Homey Or maybe you just want to change Homey’s WiFi. There are now a couple of extra options in the mobile Apps, so no need to use an FireFox or Chome Browser with flags enabled to press the Alt- key on your keyboard. Just use your App from no…

And to answer the other part of your question

When you “Reset” zigbee, all zigbee devices have to be paired as new devices.  
And all related flows have to be fixed.  
But a neat script exists for fixing the flows.

But I don’t think resetting it solves your ‘zigbee is not started’ issue.
