Chromecast remote white light always on

[Mellowor]

My chromecast remote won't work and keeps the white light always on. I tried changing batteries, updating it, using google tv to reset it, everything. I've even tried three different brand of batteries and nothing works. This is getting annoying, any ideas on what to do?

A solid white light means the mic is on or its trying to apply a firmware update. Assuming you're happy the batteries are good, did you try steps similar to these?

1. Remove the batteries from the remote.
2. Using your phone or other remote to navigate, go to Settings > Remotes & Accessories.
3. Select your remote and choose to Forget it.
4. Choose Pair remote accessory to start a new pairing.
5. Hold the home button on the remote down and re-insert batteries while holding the button down. 
6. The remote should be detected on the right side of the screen. Use your alternate remote to select it to pair it.

In most cases, your remote will pair automatically after you insert the batteries. If it doesn’t, follow the steps on the TV screen, or press and hold the Back and Home buttons on the remote for 3 seconds.
