I just bought a chromecast off marketplace. It still is linked to their wifi network. I've tried holding down the button to reset it but nothing happens. The light just stays blue... Help

What model of Chromecast is it?
The reset button is always on the edge of the Chromecast itself, near to the power input. Once you've found the reset button, follow the steps in the next help article to factory reset your Chromecast.

Thanks for the info. It's 2nd generation. I followed the steps but the light never switches to orange. Even after holding it down for a good 2 mins. I guess the thing is toast 🤷♀️
