Hi all,
I’m looking for advice or shared experiences regarding a frustrating issue with my Google Chromecast. After a recent software update, my device (which was working perfectly before) suddenly stopped connecting to my network and can’t be set up in the Google Home app. Support initially offered me £30, then upped it to £65 in credit towards a new device (which costs £99), but haven’t actually provided the credit and are now refusing to cover the full replacement cost.
My Chromecast is out of warranty, but the problem only started after Google pushed an update-at the same time they released a new model. Searching online, I see many others have had similar issues, even with newer devices. It feels like planned obsolescence, forcing users to upgrade.
Has anyone managed to get a full replacement or the right amount of credit from Google in this situation? Any tips on how to escalate this further, or official sources I can reference to strengthen my case? Would appreciate any advice or shared experiences!
