Hi Damo70au, 

Thank you so much for posting in this community. I’m sorry to hear that your Chromecast (2nd Gen) is not showing options on TV. Don’t worry; I would be more than pleased to help.

In order to gather further details and determine the optimal resolution, I would appreciate your assistance in answering the following questions:

• When did the trouble first occur? 
• Do you experience the same behavior when you request another action?
• Have you taken some troubleshooting steps before? If so, can you list them?
• Could you verify if these devices are up to date?

If you have any more information that could be helpful, please let me know. 

Best regards,

Daniel

Had this happen to my Chromecast as well (well over a year ago now and it's never fixed itself) I just assumed a pin got rubbed off.

Gen 2 model I believe, made my way here after it bricked (unable to authenticate) itself earlier today with the rest of the apparent gen 2s globally earlier today.

Yes, what happened? Will I be able to use my Chromecast again?

Not sure. Reddit has replies saying it's "being looked into" and other "sources" saying it was an intentional shutdown... Hopefully they'll have it fixed soon and it's just an update "hiccup"
