That is not a “diagnostic mode”, it is an OS reset. The machine is Linux-based and that forces the machine to load the previous version of the OS. It is not recommended as there is a chance it can brick the machine.

Thanks for clarifying, I couldn’t find any info on the 
Purple Circle of Death
Initially, someone said it was no “WiFi found”
Then I heard it’s a “Diagnostic Mode”
Now you tell me it’s an “OS Reset”.
I guess it helps to understand what the button colors mean, so thanks again for the clarification!
I have to disagree with you, The blue light is factory reset, unless you shut off your machine DURING A FACTORY reset, can it harm the machine.
Your information is erroneous.
And of course there’s one more possible reason for different colored lights: something wrong with the light.
It’s been seen before a few times here: since the white light is a combination of red, green, and blue, a failed green LED results in a purple button while the machine continues to work fine.

or… your color blind…
Or unable to properly identify colors like on a dress in the sunlight.
See, I had an advantage at getting it right. Did video work on a budget so had to not only color correct vids but color correct between non-matching cameras. Therefore, I correctly identified the black and blue dress. Unlike others, I can see what they think they’re seeing, I just know they’re wrong. They are welcome to what they believe they see, but it’s still incorrect to claim that what they believe is what reality is in this case.
