Flashing red light

[brightside]

My Chromecast was working fine until it shut down with a blinking red light on it. I reset it and tried to reinstall. I can get to where I see the Chromecast WiFi, and select it, but after several minutes it says "Could not communicate with your Chromecast."

The TV is on the welcome screen like normal. How do I fix this?
