Hi @lemony121 

 

What is the LED status on the Chromecast? Try both of these troubleshooters and let us know all the details if you still have trouble.

Hi JillG

The LED is a solid white. I went through those troubleshooters and I am still having the same problem.

Hey there,

JillG, thanks for sharing those links.

lemony121, we appreciate you doing those steps. Have you tried plugging your Chromecast to a different TV? Could you try these steps:

  • Shut down the TV completely (power off and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet).
  • Leave the TV off for 2 minutes. Disconnect all other devices that are connected to any of the HDMI ports on TV.
  • Press and hold the power button of the TV for 10-20 seconds.
  • Reconnect the power source to the Chromecast device but do not plug the Chromecast into the TV HDMI port.
  • Plug their Chromecast's power cord/power adapter directly into the wall outlet.
  • Wait 30 seconds. Plug the Chromecast device into an HDMI port on the TV. Select the HDMI port that doesn't have the label HDMI-DVI.
  • Change the TV to the same HDMI input as the Chromecast.
  • Perform an FDR and proceed with setup.

Let us know how it goes.

Best,

Alex

Hello lemony121,

Oh no! Could you try to plug in your Chromecast into a different TV screen if one is available?

I appreciate your help here, JillG and Alex!

Thanks,

Hello Jennifer,
I have tried it in 3 different tvs. And the other chromecast I have works in all of the other 3 tvs.
