Chromecast Remote is dead.

Hi All,

I can't seem to get my Chromecat remote to connect to the Chromecast.

I tried everything from the threads posted on Reddit and here. But No luck. Things I have tried.

1. Replaced with a new pair of batteries.

2. Press and hold the two buttons to put the remote in pairing mode doesn't work. I am not sure what's causing this.

3. I tried resetting the Chromecast, but that has worsened the problem. There is no way to set up the Chromecast using an Android phone (two different phones).

4. I Switched the TV and tried all the above again, but still no luck.

Is there something I am missing? Why do I need a remote to connect my phone to the Chromecast? Isn't it pointless to only take inputs from a remote to set up a device?

TV Model: LG CX

Mobile: Samsung Fold3 and Note10+

Hi folks,

Thanks for posting and for being a step ahead of us. You can try to do a factory reset on the Chromecast Voice remote. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Hi Kimy,

I have tried that already. Sorry didn't mention it clearly in the steps I have tried.

I wonder what is causing this, and why can't I use my phone instead to carry on with the setup?

Thanks,

Amit

Hi amitchak06,

Thanks for the details. You can try this workaround.

Remove the batteries and give it a 2 to 3 minute rest.
While the batteries are out, press and hold down the power button for 15 to 20 seconds to fully drain any static power left on the chipset/motherboard of the Chromecast Voice remote, then release the button.
Let the remote rest again for 2 to 3 minutes. Take this time to unplug the Chromecast device from power and give it a 1 minute rest before you plug it back in.
Proceed with the pairing process.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Kimy

Hi Kimy,

Thanks for a prompt reply. I'm sorry to say that didn't work either. After following all the steps when I connect the batteries the light pulses twice and didn't go in pairing mode with the two buttons ccombo. I am clueless what else I could do?

Cheers,

Amit
