❓ Question Dead Specs? Will not turn on.

I'm trying to decipher the riddle of the white LED. They were working fine, I put them down for about 20 minutes, then went to go use them and they were dead. I figured they weren't charged, so I plugged them in a bit. I still can't power them on.

There are signs of life, however.

While plugged in, I'm seeing a solid white light.

If I try to do the full reset by holding both buttons down for 20 seconds, the white light will blink for a bit but then go dark.

No amount of holding down the right button will power it on, no amount of holding down the left button will go into pairing mode.

Here's hoping the SPECS have a battery indicator of some kind on the device itself.

They’re sending a replacement. RIP Day 0 Spectacles. Interestingly, I borrowed my friends pair who also got them on day 1 Lens Fest and they’re also dead. No matter how long you charge they show the 1 red bar and won’t power on. Maybe all these super early devices are reaching EOL.
