Hi tinaynie,

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community. Try to factory reset your Chromecast Voice remote. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Hello there,

Thanks for the details. You might think that it’s supposed to blink, but it shouldn’t. Check the LED closely as it starts to dim (but not completely) and then brightens. If it’s not doing what it's supposed to, then try this workaround:

• Remove the batteries and give it a 2 to 3 minute rest.
• While the batteries are out, press and hold down the power button for 15 to 20 seconds to fully drain any static power left on the chipset/motherboard of the Chromecast Voice remote, then release the button.
• Let the remote rest again for 2 to 3 minutes.
• You can now proceed with the factory reset of the remote.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Kimy
