Introduction

If a Google Chromecast is dropped, there is a chance the case will lose integrity and crack or become deformed. When removing the case, the power button can become dislodged. Be sure to not lose this piece.

    • Place the Google Chromecast face down (with text not showing) on a flat surface.

    • Insert a flat tool just above the micro-USB port to detach the top part of the case from the bottom.
