Check power supply: Many users find that it is best to provide the power to the Chromecast through USB port of TV but practically this is not the possible or ideal way to give the power. You must use the power adapter to connect the Chromecast to the power supply. If you connect the device to the USB port, then there are chances that the port to which you have connected the device is not providing enough power due to a grounding problem. So, you must connect the Chromecast to the power directly through the power outlet.
