Has your old Chromecast suddenly developed a problem?

You’re not alone it seems.

“Untrusted device: [name] couldn’t be verified. This could be caused by outdated firmware.”

And what has the typical tech user learnt over the years if a piece of hardware isn’t working properly? Why, do a factory reset of course!
