Google Home Mini Power Adapter Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why Won’t my Google Mini Turn On?
Broken adapter or USB power cable often triggers problems like this. So try another USB adapter and micro USB to A cables.
Also, a broken USB power port on the Mini could result in poor sounding play or no running at all. For this, take the speaker to a qualified technician, and have him install a new USB port. Of course, replacing the port on speakers that cost so little to buy is likely none too practical.
Finally, a malfunction in the Mini Google electronics might cause the no-power situation. To fix that, replace the speaker.
