ooma no power

by Hallie Bins Published 3 years ago Updated 2 years ago

Unplug (remove power from) your Ooma device for at least 20 minutes. Then repower the Ooma Device. If that doesn't work, temporarily connect your Ooma device's Internet port to one of your Router LAN ports, using a network cable.

Your first step in troubleshooting this problem should be to check whether you have turned your system's brightness level to “off”. You can do this by locating the brightness symbol on your Ooma Telo Base Station or Phone Genie system and touching it to determine whether the system's lights turn on.
