Just sent an e-mail to Google (chromecast-support-eu)with subject "you
bricked my Chromecast?" and many other complaining words as gift.I
expect the whole of you to do the same.
Andrea from Italy, the same here.Chromecast second gen stopped working
(wifi connection ok but no cast and missing access to my Google
account).I tried reset and now it won't activate anymore, authentication
issue.Google killed old devices on purpose...
