Replace the adapter for a suitable adapter of 2.1A minimum and wait 15 minutes to put it back in. ---

What colours did homey show during power on? Have you tried starting Homey upside down already? ---

No colors, the ring is off, completely black. Turning homey upside down nothing changes. ---

Same here. Red ring ever since I updated. Pulled the plug and after that again red ring. Upside down has no effect. ---

Sounds like what happened when I upgraded from v1 to v2, which resulted in me having to send Homey back to Athom because it got bricked ☹ ---

I contacted Athom and that’s exactly what I’m ought to do now… That means losing all flows etc? ---

Now I’m afraid to do the update. Do I need to keep my homey in V2 until a new patch is out ? Is it possible to do a backup of the homey, do the update, and if it fails come back in V2 ? Thanks for your answer ---

> [@Pitt](#): > > Now I’m afraid to do the update. Do I need to keep my homey in V2 until a new patch is out ? As far as I know, this issue hasn’t been confirmed by Athom, so I don’t think there will be a patch. Like I said, when I upgraded from v1 to v2, my Homey also got bricked and had to be sent back, and I wasn’t the only one. It could be that the common issue of the power supply slowly breaking down may manifest itself during the upgrade procedure, causing the procedure to crash/fail. Which during firmware upgrades is about the worst that can happen. > [@](#): > > Is it possible to do a backup of the homey, do the update, and if it fails come back in V2 ? As far as I know, once you have started the v3 update process you can’t go back to v2. ---

Are the power supply issues restricted to 2018 and earlier models. Or does this problem occurs to early 2019 models to?
