What to do if your Chromebook won't turn on

If your Chromebook won't turn on, there are a few steps you can try to fix the problem. First, check if the battery is sufficiently charged. Connect your Chromebook to the charger and wait a few minutes before trying to start it again. Also try a different charger to rule out the charger being the problem. If your Chromebook still won't turn on, try the following steps:

• Hold down the power button for at least 10 seconds to perform a hard reset.
• Check for visible damage to the charging port or cables.
• Try booting in recovery mode by pressing the keys Esc + Refresh + Power simultaneously.

If none of these steps work, the problem may be deeper and you may need professional repair.
