<h3 dir="ltr" id="tag-29">Nest Thermostat Is in Reboot Loop</h3>

<p dir="ltr">A reboot loop is one of the potential problems from various instances, such as problems with the charging. </p>

<p dir="ltr">Although you plugged your thermostat into the power supply, you must double-check whether the electricity goes into your device properly. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em><img alt="" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/20221025/nest-thermostat-blinking-green-when-charging%20(4).png" style="height:418px; width:640px"></em></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>The nest thermostat is in the reboot loop</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" id="tag-37">Nest Thermostat’s Software Got Bricked</h3>

<p dir="ltr">Nest’s power is compromised when charging if the power flow is improper. </p>

<p dir="ltr">This leads to power fluctuations affecting the constant software update process and bricking the Nest’s interface. </p>

<p dir="ltr">You can completely make a hard reset to solve this problem. </p>

<p dir="ltr">Start troubleshooting the problem after you are aware of the problem with elapsed 15 minutes. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em><img alt="" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/20221025/nest-thermostat-blinking-green-when-charging%20(5).png" style="height:427px; width:640px"></em></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Nest software got bricked also caused the blinking green</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" id="tag-47">Other Causes</h3>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr"><strong>System shut down or start-up</strong>: One of the most popular causes the system flashes the green light is that such a flashing light is generated because the system's power is turned on or off.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr"><strong>A system undergoing an update</strong>: Another possibility is that your device is undergoing an update, causing such a response.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr"><strong>System failure</strong>: If there is a <a href="https://www.generatorsource.com/Causes_of_Power_Failures.aspx">power failure</a>, your system can flash green for a few minutes until the issue is fixed. Failure appearing on your system will prevent it from continuously flashing green light.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr"><strong>Software malfunction</strong>: Bugs, glitches, or errors can lead to software problems in your device, resulting in a flashing green light.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr"><strong>Hardware problems</strong>: Hardware issues, like software issues, can prevent your system from functioning properly.</p>
	</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Notably, blinking green when charging is not the only issue of a Thermostat.</p>

	</li>
</ul>
<h3 dir="ltr" id="tag-153">Examine the Internal Batteries</h3>

<p dir="ltr">If there’s a problem with the internal batteries, the green light on Nest will blink. </p>

<p dir="ltr">You still charge the internal device as you’ve plugged it into the charger, and it doesn’t require the separated batteries. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em><img alt="" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/20221025/nest-thermostat-blinking-green-when-charging%20(10).png" style="height:480px; width:640px"></em></p>

</ul>
<h3 dir="ltr" id="tag-182">Update the System’s Firmware</h3>

<p dir="ltr">The next way to solve the blinking light error is to let the system update the firmware, as the system may display such blinking lights while the firmware is in progress.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The update can take 30 minutes or more if the size is too large. </p>

<p dir="ltr">So check the Nest app on your phone until the update is complete.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em><img alt="" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/20221025/nest-thermostat-blinking-green-when-charging%20(11).png" style="height:480px; width:640px"></em></p>
