Ring doorbell is stuck on solid blue and will not respond

Start here
A solid blue circle normally means an active call, but if it stays solid with no call, no chime and no setup response, treat it as a stuck device/power or hardware problem—not as a normal light state.
Check these first
- End any active Live View/call on all phones.
- Confirm the Ring app device status/power if reachable.
- Use the model-specific reset/setup-button action.
- For wired units, verify the installation power through safe/qualified checks.
Fix it in this order
- End active calls/live views.
- Power-cycle the unit.
- Attempt documented setup/reset once.
- If it cannot enter setup mode and returns solid blue despite correct power, contact Ring for hardware diagnosis/replacement.
Evidence to keep
- Light video
- Power/device-health reading
- Reset result
- Model
Do not make it harder
- Assuming solid blue always means “healthy”
- Repeatedly holding reset for arbitrary durations
How you know it is fixed
- Doorbell returns to normal idle light behavior, rings/responds, and stays online.
If the obvious fix does not work
- If it enters setup after a long restart but soon returns solid blue, record the recurrence and stop repeating resets.
- If power is marginal, solve transformer/wiring power before replacing the doorbell.
If this still isn't resolved
- Ring Support
- Qualified electrician/installer for wired-power faults
