Unable to turn off or reboot

Our Sonos system has completely stopped responding: the white light is on, however nothing happens when we press the Play button, even for 60s +, or when we run through the factory reset sequence… it just stays white …

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @edwardpike 

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

If your Sonos product does not factory reset, then it is faulty. I recommend you get in touch with our technical support team to explore replacement options.

Try unplugging your speakers from power for a couple of minutes and rebooting your router and phone.

Which SONOS model(s) are you using? Which controller are you using? Are there any error messages?

Its a Play:1.. no error messages. We cant connect through the app, the only thing that we see is the white light on the speaker. Other than thats its completely unresponsive..
