Noticed everything had stopped working and realised that I could no longer access Homey via app  
Checked the device and the led was flickering in one spot, worryingly  
Ptp, left for 10mins, plugged back in and no life at all…

Any suggestions? Is all lost?

> - **General Stability due to USB Power Supply**  
> Probably the second weakest link of Homey Pro is the USB Power supply delivered with the Homey. Although the relative number of issues could be low, many users have reported Homey restarting many times an hour and giving crinkling noises after months or years working fine. It could start with only restarting once a day. In all Cases that Homey does not keep running: Please lookup another USB Adapter with 5 Volt and at least 2 A (2000 mA), Homey doesn’t use 2000mA but the higher rated USB adapters are usually more stable. In case of doubt regarding inexplicable stability problems, often with unpredicted restarts, please replace the USB Adapter. If the original Adapter is defect create a [support ticked at Athom](https://support.athom.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015784034-Submit-a-support-request).  
> (No reason for using the Fast Charge, Quick Charge or Qi as Homey doesn’t use these provide power options)

Tried this ?

Thank you!  
Was so convinced it couldn’t be that as been working forever like this but lo and behold new cable and new plug and it’s spring back to life!  
Not fully booted yet, so no access but I at least have hope!
