Troubleshooting LED loop on Deco/ Deco stuck in solid yellow

This Article Applies to:
All Deco models
Typical Problem Description:
1. One of the Deco units was stuck in constant yellow light mode and was not able to enter setup mode (blue blinking light);
2. One of the Deco units goes into this reboot loop of Solid Yellow > Blinking Yellow > Blinking Blue > Off > Solid Yellow, this cycle keeps on repeating.
If Deco had a solid or flashing red, please have a look at this link: Deco turned red
Troubleshooting suggestions:
1. Please hold the reset pinhole at the bottom of the Deco for 1s and check whether the light could be back to yellow---flashing blue.
2. If the factory reset did not make any difference, please refer to this link to do a firmware recovery:

I would suggest go to support link
https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/contact-technical-support/
and try to do live chat support or email. Explain everything you did.
They may ask you to try a few things or will send you warranty replacement and it asked you to register your unit if you haven't already

Asking for help on this forum is almost pointless. They don't monitor this as much.

1. The model number as well as the firmware version of the Deco;
deco x55
firmware 1.4.6
2. Which problem description is more like your current issue?
the main deco is set up and doesn't seem to have problems, the lights on the main one currently is solid green. The second deco is the one I'm having a problem with it's being stuck on the blinking yellow loop. And whenever I unplugged the power and reset it using the button on the bottom it is continuing to have the same problem
3. Have you tried the hardware reset and firmware recovery suggestions? what are the results?
I have not and I'm not completely sure how to do it and didn't wanna chance messing it up more
