Issue: Screen Stuck After an Update (Part 2)
If your Sound Capsule is stuck on the following screen, you will need to perform a factory reset. A factory reset is done from the settings page in the Companion App.
The Factory Reset process will in this case differ slightly from the normal procedure. Follow along to this step-by-step guide to get your Sound Capsule out of this state:
Step 1 - Select Sound Capsule and Complete Initial Setup
From within the Companion App, select your Sound Capsule from the list of nearby devices.
Afterwards you will be prompted to:
- Name your Sound Capsule
- Connect to a nearby WiFi network
Step 2 - Verify Sound Capsule
In order to continue you must verify your Sound Capsule. This step is not going to look like it normally does. The Sound Capsule will not display the verification code during this process, as the screen is still stuck as shown above.
Important: You must proceed with this step despite observing no apparent change on the Sound Capsule display.
- Press "Continue" to verification
- Press "Continue" when the pop-up window appears
- Press "Confirm" to confirm the code - despite it not being shown on the Sound Capsule screen
- Press "Cancel" in the top left corner when the setup is complete.
Step 3 - Enter Settings
Once inside the Sound Capsule's main control page in the Companion App, press the settings symbol in the top right corner to enter the Sound Capsule settings page.
Important!
If there is no connection with any of the Stellar Mics, you must head back to the Red Screen with "No Kit Config" Message section above, and complete the steps outlined there before proceeding.
Step 4 - Erase Sound Capsule
Once inside the Sound Capsule settings page you can press "Erase Sound Capsule" to complete the factory reset process.
The Sound Capsule will reboot and once it restores power you should be able to set it up like a brand new Sound Capsule, by following this guide.
