I tried to reinstall my Chromecast and the service unavailability issue continues after several days... My God, how many days will a company the size of Google need to solve a problem in a device that THEY DEVELOPED?


The 2nd-gen Chromecast stopped working this week, but it’s not over yet.

However, these devices cannot be configured in their current state because they can't connect to your phone, turning the dongles into round bricks. And there is no modern equivalent of the Chromecast Audio in Google's lineup, a device that people still covet and which regularly sells for almost $100 on eBay. We can't say how long that support commitment will last, but this product will have an even longer lifespan than the iconic original Chromecast dongle.
