Stripe M2 Reader not turning on
Check for physical damage to the reader.
Ensure the reader is charged by plugging it into a wall outlet.
Allow the unit to charge for 30 minutes and attempt to turn it on by pressing the power button for a few seconds.
If the status lights do not turn on after the power button is pushed once, try a different power outlet to charge the device.
Use a paperclip to reset the device using the reset button located at the back of the reader, near the USB port. Wait a couple of minutes and attempt to power on the reader again.
