- A serious mistake has reached some oldest Chromecast devices
- Second generation chromecasts and Chromecast audio dongles are affected
- Google says that it is now working in a solution for the problem
A strange mistake has reached the Chromecast and Chromecast audio devices of second generation, preventing these devices from being based normally, and users are getting angry more and more while they expect to display the affected devices.
As reported by 9to5google and Android Authority, the error appeared in recent days, vomiting a couple of error messages. All that users can do is rule out these messages and nothing else, which means that devices are practically useless.
An error message says: “Non -reliable device: [name] It could not be verified. This could be caused by an obsolete device firmware. “The other says:” We could not authenticate your chromecast. “There are links for Chromecast support, but there is nothing in those support pages to help with this specific problem.
In Reddit, there are many ventilations, ventilating about chromects that are wrong in general, and Google is slow to respond to the problem. However, now it seems that an official solution is on its way.
Wait
Chromecast doesn’t work. of R/Googlehome
Taking into account that the new ultra models of Chromecast and Chromecast Ultra of third generation have not been affected so far, it has been speculated that Google silently retired the oldest devices without prior notice for the people who used them.
However, that does not seem to be the case. Some research on Reddit problems pointed out the fault of a server side problem (so it was user control), and specifically a security certificate that had not been properly renewed.
The good news is that an official Google account in Reddit has published to say that Google is aware of the problem and that engineers are working on a solution. Meanwhile, the advice is to wait for it and not restore factory devices, which is the first logical step to test when something like this happens.
If you have already done a complete restart in your Chromect, Google says it will give you recovery instructions in due time. Meanwhile, we will keep our eyes and ears open for the promised solution.
