My Experirnce With The Infamous Chromecast

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
copied from Google help :

If you ever need to give someone a Chromecast you've already set up (whether as a gift, to return the device to a retailer, etc.), please be sure to factory data reset your device before you do so. A factory data reset clears your data from Chromecast.
To factory data reset your device:
Hold down the button on your Chromecast for about 25 seconds, until device reboots.
OR
Run the Setup app from your laptop
Click on the Settings icon next to your device
Click on Factory Reset
Click 'Reset'

I kept getting this weird message:

"Doh! We ran into a slight hiccup and we're attempting to fix it. This may take a few moments..."

and the few moments may as well extend to a few decades..!

then -[if unplugged and re-plugged]- it gets into a loop of "starting Chromecast" then "no signal.."
I'll have to look this issue through...

I'll get back to you as soon as i find something!

So it turns out to be a problem with the power source!!!
the -'ORIGINAL'- power adapter that is provided with the device was faulty (or at least that's my guess)

When I connected the USB power cord to the TV service port the Chromecast started flawlessly!!

so I guess this is it for this issue....no need to reset the device or anything!!!
