I only get the chrome logo for a second and then it turns black. I have sound and can cast, but without picture. I've moved it to another TV and tried. Another hdmi slot and tried. Did the unplug for 30 sec, 1 min, even a whole evening. Tried pressing the button to reset. Tried going to home and doing a reset and factory reset. Still the same. Last night I left it on for 6 hours to see if it's updating something, but this morning it's still just blinking. Oh, I tried USB to tv directly and USB to power dock into mains. Still the same.

It seems Google has a problem with the latest update. But my situation is slightly different. Trying to do the Update it changes after a while and states „Network Problem“. But mine is Chromecast 3. Generation. Reset and rerboot doesn‘t help. 😕

Seems like Google doesn't actually care if it works or not..Maybe we can only get the meta update now 🤔

I have also tried factory restore from Home App. Still not working. Bought a new TV and also tried in on there, it's a UHD 4k and still doesn't work.

Will this be fixed with a new software update? This problem started cuz of an update 2 weeks ago. How can I force update my Chromecast?

Have you tried plugging it out and then back in again into the hdmi?

I have just tried .I've again, factory reset. Shows Chrome logo, then blank. Will connect and play sound only, but no picture.

Maybe we share the same problem. Just need to wait for another update somehow.

Update:

I've tried putting it into another TV, it's the Chromecast Logo and then full black. The blinking orange light is back.

Later tried plugging it into the same old TV. Instead of the previous white light, its now the orange light again.

I'm better off buying a new BBK realme Google TV Stick or Xiaomi Mi TV Stick. Will recommend the same. (Chromecast with Google TV not available in my region)

Maybe Google will never fix this issue...

Sorry for not mentioning, but the problem still exists. May I know when will the next firmware update come for the Chromecast 1st gen?

Hey there Eagle-eye,

I'm sorry to hear that the issue is still persisting! I'd be happy to look a little deeper into this issue. Now, you mentioned that the LED light is blinking red/orange, usually this means that the Chromecast is applying an update. However, if the screen is black and the blinking is still occurring, give these steps a try:

Unplug your Chromecast from the power source, wait about one minute, and then plug it back in.
Use the HDMI extender provided with your Chromecast device if you have one.
Plug your Chromecast into another TV.
Perform a factory reset.

Let me know if that helps at all, I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Jeran
