Google tvs tuck on G screen at bootup

[schmegeggin]

Google tv hung last night with blank screen so unplugged it and when I plugged it back in, it is just stuck at the coloured G screen on bootup. I have tried leaving it unplugged for a few hours and plugging in again but same result. I have left the device on the G screen overnight and doesn't change. Tried resetting by keeping button pressed on device for over a minute with no change. Any advice to rescue it from recycling  centre? Thanks

Hi schmegeggin,

Thanks for reaching out and for doing some steps beforehand — these are of great help! To cover all the bases, could you please reboot your Wi-Fi router and try to plug in the Chromecast into a different HDMI port on your TV? Also, plugging it on a different TV screen might also help.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer, thanks for the information, I tried those and it is still the same unfortunately, stuck on the G screen on bootup, the light on the back of the chromecast stays yellow
