My Nova Won't Turn On

I can't get my Nova to turn on; when I plug it in it doesn't show a charge LED; LED indicator doesn't come on

There is a known issue, where the Nova will not turn on. This is being caused by a minor coding bug that's triggered by a specific combination of button presses, which puts your Nova into an unresponsive state.

Update 01/09/26: We have released a fix to this. After following the steps below, over The Air Updates will be available for your Nova. Please note this issue is affecting all current Nova units, so your Nova is not faulty if the below brings it back to life.


How To Resolve:

In the meantime please follow these steps carefully to bring your Nova back to life ✨:

Written Instructions to Resolve:

  1. Ensure the Nova is not plugged in,

  2. Press and hold off button ("O") for over 10 seconds (please use a timer to confirm the press and hold is over 10 seconds),

  3. Press and hold the off button ("O") for 3 seconds - at this point you should see the indicator light come on.

  4. Your Nova is ready to use / pair to your device!

Hugely appreciate your patience and would be very grateful for you to follow the steps above exactly.
