If your Pokémon GO Plus + seems broken, odds are you can fix it yourself in ten seconds. The only tool you need is a pen.
- Did your Pokémon GO Plus + stop working out of the blue?
- Can't get the LEDs to activate at all, even while plugged in?
- Does your modified or stock Pokémon GO Plus + seem completely unresponsive?
- Are you looking to get the battery replaced or have the device repaired?
I operate a shop modifying the Pokémon GO Plus + to autocatch using Ultra and Great Balls, and each week I have people contacting me with the same issue: "My GO Plus + randomly stopped working, how much would it cost to have it repaired?" I give this advice for free and explain that it resolves the issue for every single person who requests a battery replacement. If you need your Pokémon GO Plus + repaired, check out the below instructions.
How to Perform a Factory Reset on the Pokémon GO Plus +
- Press and hold the side button (the button with the small LED) for five full seconds. Continue holding it down while completing the next step.
- While still holding the side button, use a pen to press and hold the small indentation on the back of the GO Plus + for five full seconds, then stop pressing both this button and the side button.
That's all.
Your GO Plus + should now be working again. This is the most common issue I've seen with the GO Plus +, both modified and unmodified. Unless you physically broke your GO Plus + or something went wrong while you were modifying it yourself, this is probably the solution to the problem you're having.
