Nexus Player Colourful Static

by whostolemyusrname

I just recieved my Nexus Player today, I set it up and everything was a breeze. I was just listening to music on google play when all of a sudden the screen went to a colourful static.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? The device is still running because music is still playing, I can pause the music and navigate the menu with the remote. Its just the display is all static.

The nexus is plugged into the same AV Receiever my chromecast was. So far this has only happened once. Should I return it? Or is this a common problem?

I actually had this happen on my chromecast a few times, I would have to use the chromecast app to reboot it. I haven't had it happen on either one of my two nexus players though.

Just an update for everyone, it happened again this time connected straight to the TV. So I swapped out the HDMI cable for another one, and I haven't had the problem since.

I didn't think of it earlier because the HDMI I was using was brand new and I've never had a DOA HDMI cable before. I suppose I should have tried that first, thanks for everyone's suggestions though!

I've only had it happen when it comes back from sleep for half a second

If it happens again I would try to plug it into your TV for a few days and see if it is the receiver causing it to happen.
