Possible Causes for Screen Flickering
- **Software Glitch**: The device may have a temporary software glitch affecting the display.
- **Ambient Light Sensor Interference**: The Nest Hub adjusts brightness based on surrounding light. If the sensor isn't functioning properly, flickering might occur as the system continually attempts to adjust.
- **Hardware Issues**: Internal hardware problems like a loose connection or a faulty display could cause flickering.
- **Power Supply Problems**: An inadequate or unstable power source can lead to inconsistent device performance, including screen flickering.
How to Fix the Flickering Screen
- **Restart the Device**: Often, simply restarting your Google Nest Hub can resolve temporary software glitches.
- **Check the Power Source**: Ensure you are using the original power cable and adapter provided with the Google Nest Hub. Try plugging it into a different outlet to check for power consistency.
- **Adjust Settings**: Go to Settings on your Nest Hub and disable automatic brightness or ambient EQ to see if this stops the flickering.
- **Factory Reset**: If none of the soft fixes work, consider performing a factory reset. This will remove any software concerns causing instability. Remember, this will erase all settings, so use it as a last resort.
- **Contact Support**: If the problem persists, reach out to Google Support for further assistance. It may be a hardware issue that needs professional repair or replacement.
