Chromecast 1 - stopped working on one TV, works on other.

Hi David. Did you ever get your issue resolved? I'm having the same issue (No Signal) with my 1st gen Chromecast. The issue started about a month ago on my 8 year old Samsung TV. The Chromecast works on another TV. I did follow a procedure that Google has on their troubleshooting page with no change and it led me to complete an online survey and to duplicate the error and submit the error report. I have not heard back on what the issue is but here is the link to the survey:

No, Jimmyf, did not get resolved. I feel that the problem may be a degradation of the hdmi port on the TV, which does not auto detect the low res of the Chromecast.
There is also a another issue with the TV, probably not related - when I set up my TV decoder (which receives a strong 5ghz WiFi signal, it will not “detect” the WiFi if the decode is adjacent to the TV.
I have do do a setup with the decoder 2m from the TV, then WiFi recognised, and then decoder is working fine alongside TV.
So I think the TV is emitting a WiFi spoiling frequency.

P.S. NowTV smart stick works well! No issues.
And the Chromecast works fine on my older Sony Bravia TV

Sorry for ressurecting the thread but apparently this can still happen so it is worth it to have a solution out there!
For the past two weeks I had almost exactly the same problem - tiny old TV which worked like a charm with Chromecast 3 and then a bigger "better" Panasonic Viera. Wouldn't budge. And finally, after miles and miles of reading crap like "Check your Wifi" or "Try different HDMI port" i finally stumbled upon an article on How To Geek about the HDCP mechanism and how it mostly makes normal users' lives difficult, instead of preventing piracy. And how to circumvent it in case it's the root cause - and it was, and the fix is tragi-comic - you need a cheap, active HDMI splitter that works with HDCP-enabled devices, yet, essentially circumvents it, because that what's causing a perfectly fine Chromecast to not talk to a perfectly fine TV set. I bought mine online for under 9 bucks. It's a square, metal, black box. No bigger than a box of cigarettes, with one HDMI in and two outs, and an external power brick. Works right out of the box, no configuration needed. As an added bonus, let's your single Chromecast be attached to two different devices at the same time if you ever needed such a thing.
God, that was frustrating!
