No Chromecast image - you can do that

Unfortunately, Chromecast does not provide a picture is a known problem. You can try the following tips to fix it:

• First you should test the stick in another HDMI slot on your TV.
• If you have a second TV, you can also try Chromecast there. In this way you can ensure that there is no defect.
• If you operate the stick with the supplied power cable via the socket, try a USB port on your TV (if available). If you already have Chromecast powered by USB, plug it into the wall outlet instead.
• Unfortunately, this problem is no longer known.
• However, you can try to reset the stick to factory settings: To do this, press and hold the button on the back of the stick for about 25 seconds until the stick flashes blue. After that, you'll need to set up Chromecast again. You can find out how this works in our video practical tip.
