How to Factory Reset w/ 'Button' on Chromecast with Google TV

I show you how to preform a factory reset (hard reset) on the Chromecast with Google TV directly from the button on the Chromecast. Remember with a factory reset you will lose al data as if you bought it brand new and took it out of the box. After the factory reset you will have a clean slate to setup again or sell it. Hope this helps.

Thank you. I bought this for our friend for thanking him for the use of his house whilst he was over seas. Now he can put it on his phone to wake it up

Thanks sir my wife was going crazy upset with the pairing you saved my life

[Myshell]

Thank you so much for showing what I had to press. Everything else I'd read or seen just said to "press the button" without saying which button & as I am a ludite I was trying all of the buttons on the remote control without any joy. Some of us oldies really need to be shown how to do this stuff with images. Thanks you so very much.

Thanks brodie. Just moved and the smart tv got busted and both my Chromecast and Firestick weren't working. Didn't know you had to factory reset them.

Thanks very much for the tip.I turned off bluetooth via the FX app, and the remote has lost connection to the chromcast. I had a little trouble with that:)

The light won't turn white so does that mean my Chromecast should be put to rest or is there a way of doing it online

[rtovatt]

what do i do if the remote is broken (besides buy a new one obviously) i factory reset it because the remote on my phone stopped working

Quero um forma de controlar a Google tv sem o controle após resetado. Pois resetei e após reiniciado para justamente nesta tela que pede para parear o controle remoto. Não sei o que eu faço? Tenho que comprar outro controle? O controle é vendido separadamente?

my device is google chromecast 4k .I live in Kayseri, Turkey. My device remained the same as in the video. I try to reset it many times, but it won't turn on. I can't find anyone to fix it. I can't find software to fix this device.

6 videos later I had the Google tv remote connected to the wifi and my Bluetooth... didn't work. Saw this video 30 seconds later problem solved. Tell you tube I could have saved 45 minutes of my night if we could have started with this one.

[joesterlife]

Thanks! No idea why my Chromecast Google TV won't ask me to sign in to WiFi...when it ask for my new Google password only. Stupid.
