My remote stopped working today. I changed batteries and still nothing. After searching online I tried resetting using the Google TV app. This is where I realized it wasn't the remote as I also couldn't use the side arrows on the app. The up and down arrows work.
I've had this chromecast for a few years now and have never had problems.
Any suggestions that aren't the insulting "DiD YoU tRy ReSeTTiNg iT?"
