Chromecast lights up but doesnt come onto TV

guylikeme

Anyone had this problem before? A free fake 50 for the person who solves my problem!

Yes im on the right HDMI channel and yes everythings plugged in. Just have the blue "no signal" screen on the TV

Thanks!

Reboot it from the app.

Have you a light on the Chromecast itself?

Edit; Sorry. I just read the title.

What colour is the light?

Seems to depend on the adaptor im using to plug it in with. Latest blinks red and white

Cant reboot it from app as it the app cant see it.

Have you tried it in another HDMI port?

It should stay white. Is it your first time using it? Or has it been working all along.
Some older routers are not compatible

Was working all along. Had changed the ac adaptor for using it (alas the "good" one) is in work.

Probably the reason but wft wouldnt it work with basically any of them. They all charge the phone just fine

Maybe the cable from the PSU/charger is playing up. I had trouble with cheap ones before.

Try plugging into the TVs USB. They recommend mains power but I run mine off the TV all the time.
