I bought a Chromecast device. When I tried to setup it, it showed "chromecast..." at the bottom of the screen and after about 3-5 seconds it goes back to the No Signal screen. The Chromecast is connected to a MINI HDMI2AV Adapter that is connected to the RCA port on my TV. Is there a way to fix it?

Hi there, sorry to make my first post a question but I've searched everywhere and can't find any info on this.
The problem I'm having is that my phone won't connect to the dongle when the dongle is connected to my LG 32LG7000 TV.
The dongle connects to the TV with no problems and the instructions appear, but when I connect the phone the normal connection screen appears and flashes blue 3 times before dropping the connection to the phone.
The dongle works fine with every other TV I've tried it with so I don't think it has a problem, it just doesn't like this telly!
Has anyone experienced something similar? I'm thinking it's maybe a HDMI / DRM thing....
Many thanks.
i've got a sony led tv and a samsung galaxy tab 3 and when i connect it to the tv they both understand that mhl is connected but nothing shows up on tv
the tablet gives a toast notifying that hdmi is connected and the tv writes "player 1" on top and "no signal" on the right bottom corner
is my cable faulty or should i do something for the image to show up?
I have aZ2 tab and a Z3 comact phone, both are fully up to date with Lollipop. On the tab, when I try to use the mhl cable, the tab screen collapses into a very narrow band of picture at the bottom of the screen. I then have to reboot and the picture on the TV and the tab seem fine - for about 10 minutes then there is a high pitched whistle from the tab and it crashes completely. The phone connects without problem but as with the tab, after 10 mins there is the whistle then the crash.
When I bought the cable I didn't realize that there were diferent versions and bought the v 2.0. Could this simply be the problem or are there issues with the firmware?
Thanks
So, today I bought a Chromecast (2. Gen). At home, I connected it to my TV (Sony Bravia KDL 40EX727) and tried to set up - but without success. All I got was a black screen (nothing appeared at all). At the Chromecast itself, directly after plugging ac power, the status led turns constant organge for about 0.5 sec and then switches to constant white. And that's it.
I started to research and found some points I struggle about:
- Some users reported unresolved issues with Sony TVs. Can I find a list of supported devices somewhere?
- I tried to reset my Chromecast. I followed the instructions (push the reset button while HDMI is plugged in the TV). Actually, nothing happened. The LED keeps on illuminating constantly white (still not blinking). Google's instructions tell me, that it should turn orange (blinking) and after the successfull reset it should return to a white color. So as you see, nothing at all happens.
- I tried all HDMI ports - no difference
- I tried different USB cables and powering it from USB and from AC - no difference
- I tried turning it on without beeing connected and with beeing connected - no difference.
What else to do?
- tomorrow, I will take it to work and connect it the HDMI port and my computers display (unfortunately, I have no second screen with HDMI at home, neither an adapter from DVI to HDMI or something similar..)
Do you have any hints for? Or is my device just broken?
Thanks in advance!
Problem solved: Device was defective. I exchanged it in the store where I bought it for a different one: works like a charm.
Hello everyone
So last week the kids shattered my screen. Part of it still worked right after but now i got no display at all. I connected to an external display via a docking station and a simple usb-c to HDMI adapter. I get the screen to come up but its simply a gray screen with a lock on it and the time. Does anyone know how to get to the unlock screen so i can try and pull all my data off the tablet
If it's the data you want, why don't you connect it with usb in a pc. It will see it (probably if you had connect it at past. Otherwise it may need to preen in screen to give access, which you probably can't do..), as a hard disk and copy whatever can be copied.
If you can install a usb mouse when you connect it with a hdmi you could press the screen with the mouse also..
