The warning 'Low power' or the link 'g.co/cast/power' appears on your TV screen when your Chromecast with Google TV or Google TV Streamer (4K) doesn’t have enough power to function properly. To troubleshoot, follow the steps below:
- Check that your Chromecast with Google TV or Google TV Streamer is plugged into the power adaptor that came with it. If it’s plugged into your TV’s USB port or a different adaptor, it might not be getting enough power. If a replacement is needed, the recommended adaptor spec is 5 V/1.5 A.
- Check that the power adaptor is plugged into a reliable wall socket.
- Check that the cable also came with the Google streaming device. If you use a different cable, it might not be supported. Using a different cable may also cause the device to get stuck in a reboot loop.
- Check that the cable is completely plugged into both the adaptor and the streaming device.
- Reconnect the cable into both the adaptor and the streaming device:
- Unplug the cable from the streaming device and the adaptor wait five seconds.
- Plug the cable into the adaptor first plug it into the streaming device.
- Check that no USB Type-C hubs or switches are between the streaming device and power adaptor. They can affect the power capability or power delivery compatibility.
