Impossible to install chromecast

cortiag — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 14:11:23 GMT

Hello,

I have been trying to set up a new chromecast with no luck.

Chromecast is physically plugged to the TV via HDMI, and to the power outlet via USB cable.

To begin with, LED is lighted up solid blue. I have not found this LED colour anywhere, so it's very unclear to me what this means. Attempted to factory reset multiple times by pressing down the power button > 25 seconds, no reaction. LED remains solid blue.

When connected to the TV, correct HDMI channel, I see a mirascreen+ screen with a QR, several ID numbers. No welcome page as shown on the set up step by step guide.

I have also tried to find my device on the Home app, but it does not appear. I imagine this is because the device is not yet connected to my WIFI network - since I cannot connect to the TV in the first place, thus unable to follow the set up.

I am really grateful to any advice or help you may have!

Your cast is faulty۔ Get it replaced

Hi folks,

Thanks for lending a hand, BurneyEra.

cortiag, what type of Chromecast device do you have? Where did you purchase your Chromecast? Have you tried to plug it in on a different HDMI port on your TV or on a different TV screen?

I'll wait for your response.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

- Chromecast 3rd gen, black model

- Purchased in Spain at a local store

- Yes, we have tried different HDMI ports and two different smart TV. Solid blue light remains, no reaction to connection.

Thank you for your help,

cortiag

Hi Jennifer,

Unfortunately asking for a replacement is not an option. If there's no known root cause and solution to this issue, then seems there's little to do here.

Thank you,

Alex
