[rubenrod]

My set up had been working fine for at least a year. Today the remote control fail to control and it gave me a blinking white light. I changed to new batteries but that did not help. On my TV i see the programs i would like to watch but my remote control does not select them any more.

what can i do?

This has been happening to me off and on too within the last few months.  I had to pull the power cord from the Chromecast device itself and force a reboot.  The remote worked after it came online.  I haven't found a more permanent solution yet.

The other thing that might be happening that I hadn't considered is that the remote might simply need to be cleaned.  By this I don't mean wiped down with any sort of liquid cleaner.  I mean using a brush made for cleaning those crevices that electronics have.  Dust and other debris from our hands get lodged around the buttons and even into where the mic listens and could be the cause.  I'd recommend cleaning it in this manner and seeing if it makes a difference.
