If your Google Home Hub 1st Generation (GA00515 or GA00516) isn't turning on and you've exhausted [[Google Home Hub 1st Generation Troubleshooting#Section__Hub_won_t_turn_on_when_plugged_in|troubleshooting|new_window=true]], it's probably time to replace the Hub's charging port, located on the IO dotterdaughter board. If the charging port seems wobbly, or if the charging pin is bent or missing, this is definitely the guide for you. | | | A quick note on device nomenclature: | | | The Google Home Hub 1st Generation was rebranded in 2019 as "Google Nest Hub," even though the product remained identical, which makes finding information about the proper device a bit confusing. Some retailers applied stickers to the original Google Home Hub 1st Generation's boxes to reflect the change, as seen in the photo at the top of this [link|https://9to5google.com/2019/06/15/google-nest-hub-brand-sticker/|article], but many did not. Make sure you have the Google Home Hub 1st Generation, or the Google Nest Hub (''not'' the Google Nest Hub 2nd Generation) before proceeding. | | | The first in Google's smart-speaker lineup to feature a display, the Google Home Hub 1st Generation is pretty much an unimpressive paperweight if it doesn't turn on. If a faulty charging port is keeping your Hub lifeless, then this guide will revive it. |
