Chromecast remote pairing

[pethanz]

Unfortunately my remote stopped working (bricked after update) so as a last resort I tried to factory reset my Chromecast, I know I should've known better because now it's not connected to wifi so can't even use my phone as a remote. I tried to connect my Xbox controller with no luck.

Tried to connect keyboard/mouse with a usb dongle, didn't work..

I just lost my job so I can't afford to buy new hardware.

What should I do now? Please help!

Hey there pethanz,

I apologize for the late response, thank you for being patient! Were you able to fix that remote pairing issue? If not, I'd be happy to help out, as it sounds like this has been quite frustrating to deal with. The first thing I would check is the LED light on the Chromecast Voice Remote. If the remote is throwing an error, it will appear via the LED light. I'll give you some troubleshooting steps based on what the LED light is doing.

I look forward to your response, and if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know!

Best regards,
Jeran

Sorry for the late response, hope the holidays went well!

My remote shows a steady light as soon as I put the batteries in, then it turns off about half an hour later. It's unresponsive to any input. I went through the troubleshooting, but unfortunately that didn't help.

Hey there pethanz,

No problem at all; I hope you had a good time as well! In this case, it may be best to speak with Chromecast Support. If you have time, would you be able to fill out this form to have them reach out to you via email? Once you do so, please let me know.
