HomePod not responding after updating to OS 17.4

After installing os 17.4 one of my HomePods is not responding. Home app shows it not responding and it’s not showing anything on its display.

I ungrouped the HomePods and deleted the faulty one from Home app. Also updated iPhone and Apple TV and tried to manually restore it by unplugging it for a minute then plugging it back and touching its display after ten seconds and nothing happens. It is totally dead, does someone has the same issue?

I’ve updated to iOS17.6 - and now have the same issue. I’ve had this issue in the past and it’s so frustrating to fix. Why does this continue to occur ? HomePods were fine before the update !

Is it completely non-responsive? Or does it seem to reboot but not able to connect? If it is completely non-responsive i.e. bricked and does not show any signs of life, there are ways to repair it if desired. There are a number of DIYs as well as places that can service them and restore at a reasonable cost. Nics has been doing this for a while. Also Minn-Tech also seems to provide a number of mail-in HomePod services ie not working "no-power" or other common issues.
