A step-by-step guide on how to reset Chromecast:

  1. Unplug your Chromecast from the power outlet or TV.
  2. Hold down the button on the Chromecast for at least 25 seconds, or until the solid LED light turns into a flashing red light.
  3. Wait for the flashing red light to turn solid white. This will indicate that Chromecast has been reset.
  4. Plug your Chromecast back into the power outlet or TV and set it up again.

Now it needs configuring:

You must use a device (such as a phone, tablet, or laptop) that is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the Chromecast to set up your Chromecast once it has been reset to its original factory settings.

  1. On your device, open the Google Home app.
  2. In the app, tap the plus sign (+) in the top left corner and select “Set up device.”
  3. Select “Chromecast.”
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process. This will include selecting the Wi-Fi network that you want to connect your Chromecast to and any other relevant setup steps.

Alternatively, you can set up your Chromecast using the Chromecast built-in feature on your device. To do this:

  1. On your device, open the Google Home app.
  2. In the app, tap the plus sign (+) in the top left corner and select “Set up device.”
  3. Select “Set up new devices in your home.”
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process. This will include selecting the Wi-Fi network that you want to connect your Chromecast to and any other relevant setup steps.
