If that\u2019s right, I can help explain how to know *without seeing lights* whether a factory reset has happened, and what to try if nothing visible happens.\n\n---\n\n### What the normal reset process looks like\n\nHere\u2019s what usually happens when you factory reset Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1 glasses:  \n- You close the \"right temple arm\" (fold them shut). ([ray-ban.com](https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/c/frequently-asked-questions-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses?msockid=2d50ae813f526d8714f7b84d3e306cd0&utm_source=openai))  \n- Press the capture button five times. The \u201cnotification LED\u201d (a small light near the button) would turn **solid orange**. ([framesdirect.com](https://www.framesdirect.com/knowledge-center/ai-glasses-faqs?utm_source=openai))  \n- Then you press and hold the capture button until that LED starts flashing. ([ray-ban.com](https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/c/frequently-asked-questions-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses?msockid=2d50ae813f526d8714f7b84d3e306cd0&utm_source=openai))  \n- When the process finishes, you release the button and wait for the LED to *cycle through white and then green*, then turn off. That turning off means the reset is complete. ([framesdirect.com](https://www.framesdirect.com/knowledge-center/ai-glasses-faqs?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### How to know if the reset happened, even without seeing lights\n\nSince you\u2019re blind and can\u2019t see the lights, here are other signals that might let you tell if the factory reset succeeded:\n\n1. **Bluetooth pairing status**  \n   - Before reset, the glasses are already paired with your phone / app. After a successful factory reset, they should no longer appear as connected or paired.  \n   - You can check in your Bluetooth settings on your phone: if the glasses are no longer listed (or say \u201cnot connected / forget this device\u201d), that\u2019s a sign a reset happened.\n\n2. **App behavior**  \n   - After reset, the Meta AI or Meta View app will usually prompt you to go through setup / pairing, as if using the glasses for the first time.  \n   - If the app doesn\u2019t recognize the glasses or asks to pair them, that\u2019s another strong sign the reset is done.\n\n3. **Internal state or feedback**  \n   - Touch or feel for contact vibrations or beeps. Sometimes button presses or power changes cause small vibrations, or a sound feedback. (This depends on model and accessibility features.)  \n   - If the glasses were recording something or were turned on, after reset they may have memory cleared (recordings gone) or settings returned to default.\n\n4. **Power behavior**  \n   - After a reset, the glasses may reboot themselves. Feel for or listen for sounds of reboot, or the case clicking, or a change in how they turn on/off.  \n   - If lights never show, check if battery is dead\u2014sometimes they show no lights simply because there\u2019s no power. Ensuring the case is charged helps.\n\n---\n\n### What to try if you never see any lights\n\nIf you never saw any LED lights during reset steps, it might be that:\n\n- The battery is too low to power the LED. Try charging fully first. ([help.looktech.ai](https://help.looktech.ai/en/articles/12437314-manually-entering-pairing-mode?utm_source=openai))  \n- The lights or LEDs are broken. That\u2019s more serious; then you have to rely on app / behavior feedback.  \n- The buttons aren\u2019t being pressed properly or at the right time. Timing is important (e.g., pressing four or five times, then holding down exactly when needed) or closing the arm first. ([ray-ban.com](https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/c/frequently-asked-questions-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses?msockid=2d50ae813f526d8714f7b84d3e306cd0&utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can give step-by-step instructions *for just feeling / listening / using the app* so you can tell when reset is done, without needing visuals. Would you prefer that?"

The Gen 1 & Gen 2 glasses have a different reset method than the Stories. Here's how it works for **Gen 1 and Gen 2** (Meta AI glasses), and how to tell if the reset is complete *without seeing any lights*.\n\n---\n\n## How to factory reset **Gen 1 or Gen 2 Meta AI** glasses\n\nThese are the steps given by Ray-Ban / Meta\u2019s support site. ([ray-ban.com](https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/c/frequently-asked-questions-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses?msockid=2d50ae813f526d8714f7b84d3e306cd0&utm_source=openai))\n\n1. Make sure the glasses are **powered on** and not in the charging case. ([ray-ban.com](https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/c/frequently-asked-questions-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses?msockid=2d50ae813f526d8714f7b84d3e306cd0&utm_source=openai))  \n2. **Slide and hold the power switch all the way to the ON / forward position**, and at the same time, **press and hold the capture (camera shutter) button**. ([ray-ban.com](https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/c/frequently-asked-questions-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses?msockid=2d50ae813f526d8714f7b84d3e306cd0&utm_source=openai))  \n3. Watch for the **notification LED**\u2014it should turn **solid orange**. ([ray-ban.com](https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/c/frequently-asked-questions-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses?msockid=2d50ae813f526d8714f7b84d3e306cd0&utm_source=openai))  \n4. When that solid orange light shows, **first release the capture button**, then release the power switch. ([ray-ban.com](https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/c/frequently-asked-questions-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses?msockid=2d50ae813f526d8714f7b84d3e306cd0&utm_source=openai))  \n5. The reset is done once the LED turns off. ([ray-ban.com](https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/c/frequently-asked-questions-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses?msockid=2d50ae813f526d8714f7b84d3e306cd0&utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Why this is *different* than Stories (older models)\n\n- Ray-Ban Stories reset steps involve **closing the right temple arm** first, then tapping or holding buttons multiple times. ([tomsguide.com](https://www.tomsguide.com/uk/computing/smart-glasses/ray-ban-meta-ai-glasses-gen-1-vs-gen-2?utm_source=openai))  \n- The method you described (holding capture button while turning them on) is similar to the official steps for Gen 1 / Gen 2, but not exactly the same as Stories. ([answers.org](https://answers.org/meta/how-do-i-factory-reset-ray-ban-meta-glasses?utm_source=openai))  \n\nSo it sounds like your glasses *are likely* Gen 1 or Gen 2, and the correct reset method is the one above.\n\n---\n\n## How to tell the reset is done\u2014*without seeing lights*\n\nSince you can\u2019t rely on seeing the LED, here are other clues you can use to know when the factory reset is complete:\n\n1. **Bluetooth / App un-paired**\n   - Check your phone\u2019s Bluetooth list. After a successful reset, the glasses should disappear (or show as \u201cNot Connected / Unpaired\u201d).  \n   - In the Meta AI app, the glasses should no longer appear in the list of paired glasses. The app may ask you to pair them fresh.  \n\n2. **Capture / media reset**\n   - Any photos or videos on the glasses (if they have internal storage) should be gone. If you try to access them (when connected in the app or via your phone), you\u2019ll get nothing or default state.  \n\n3. **voice or button responses / sounds**\n   - Try pressing the capture button after reset. Before pairing, the glasses likely won\u2019t capture or respond as before\u2014either no sound, or the app says not connected.  \n   - If the \u201cHey Meta\u201d / \u201cOK Meta\u201d voice commands worked before, they should stop or say something like \u201cdevice not connected\u201d or give an error when inactive.\n\n4. **Factory default prompts in the app**\n   - When you open the Meta AI app after reset, it may prompt you like it\u2019s a new device: \u201cFind your glasses\u201d, \u201cPair your device\u201d, or \u201cSet up your glasses\u201d.  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you *step-by-step by touch / feel / sound* to do the reset so you can follow without needing visual cues. Want me to send that?"

([ray-ban.com](https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/c/frequently-asked-questions-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses?utm_source=openai))  \n- The reset is **complete** when this light *turns off*. ([ray-ban.com](https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/c/frequently-asked-questions-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses?utm_source=openai))  \n\nSo without seeing the light, you lose the visual indicator. That means you'll need to rely on other signals.\n\n---\n\n## Signs you can notice by touch, sound, or via your phone\n\nHere are ways to tell if the reset likely finished:\n\n1. **Changes in app / Bluetooth status**\n\n   - After reset, the glasses should be *unpaired* from your phone. If they are no longer in the Bluetooth list, or listed as \u201cdisconnected / not paired,\u201d that\u2019s a strong clue.\n   - If the Meta AI app no longer shows your glasses connected or asking to pair, that also points to the reset having happened.\n\n2. **Voice commands / \u201cHey Meta\u201d / \u201cOK Meta\u201d behavior**\n\n   - Before reset, voice commands usually work. After reset, they should *no longer work* until you set up / pair again.\n   - Try saying \u201cHey Meta, what\u2019s the battery level?\u201d \u2013 if the glasses used to respond but now don\u2019t respond or the app says \u201cdevice not connected,\u201d that\u2019s a sign.\n\n3. **Capture / media unavailable**\n\n   - Try to take a photo or video via the usual capture button or via the app. If they don\u2019t capture, or the viewfinder or gallery shows nothing or says \u201cdevice offline,\u201d that indicates reset (or power off / unpaired state).\n\n4. **App prompts setup or pairing**\n\n   - When you open the Meta AI app, does it behave like the glasses are new? For example: asking you to \u201cpair the glasses,\u201d setting up for first use, or letting you register the device again.\n\n---\n\n## Could it be done already?\n\nYes, it **might be already done** if during your reset attempt:\n\n- You held the power switch and capture button together correctly.\n- You waited long enough (up to ~5-10 seconds or more) before releasing.\n- After trying, the Bluetooth list dropped; the app no longer sees the glasses; voice commands/controls stopped working.\n\nIf those things happened, then the reset likely succeeded even without seeing the lights.\n\nIf not, probably not yet. Because the visual LED \"solid orange then off\" is the official completion marker. Without it, there's a chance the reset did **not complete** or did not trigger at all.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can help you perform a reset *by feel / sound*, walking step-by-step and tell you what to expect (based on touch / timing / app behavior) so you *can be confident*. Do you want me to send that?"
