Light is showing green charge. FD making lots of noise and fails to shift into front chain ring. When setting Di2 to micro adjust mode, the light blinks red 5x when shifter is pressed – no movement. When forcing the FD to complete the shift into the big ring, micro adjust becomes possible, but noisy as captured in the video.
Seems there are no issues with the FD or RD cable connections. FD does not seem to make contact with either chainring when shifting. FD seems to be aligned with the chainrings.
I tried booting up the E-TUBE RIDE app; my derailleur is showing paired, but this app appears to have essentially zero functionality (maybe I’m missing something here).
Any tips are appreciated!!
What’s going on with this Di2 front derailleur?

The shifting mechanism is seizing up. Basically needs a good tear-down, clean and relube.
You might be lucky enough that if you clean it out using some cleaner, sprayed in the front and cycled over and over, it will eventually free up.
I have stripped a few of these down and gotten them to be working fine. Does take a bit of effort.
