Consider replacing the battery to restore its functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blank_Screen\"><\/span><strong>Blank Screen<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem mightn&#8217;t be your computer not turning on or your screen not working.

Ensure that your Chromebook Is Charging<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Chromebooks have a charging light next to their USB port, indicating that the computer is charging fine. The light could be blue or orange, depending on your Chromebook brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let your Chromebook charge for four hours without any interruption. Your computer should respond after the charging. Try a different charger if it doesn&#8217;t. If the problem persists, something is almost certainly wrong with your battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Perform_A_Restart_Or_A_Hard_Reset_On_Your_Chromebook\"><\/span><strong>2. Perform A Restart Or A Hard Reset On Your Chromebook<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your computer turns on a black or unresponsive screen, a hard reset might be the magic to regain functionality. Simply press and hold the refresh and power buttons simultaneously to restart the computer. The action resets your Chromebook&#8217;s RAM and clears any cache that might have prevented your Chromebook from booting up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Remove_Non-Needed_Apps\"><\/span><strong>3. Remove Non-Needed Apps<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Too many installed apps on your system might hinder your Chromebook booting process.

Update Your Software<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using outdated Chrome OS software might cause power issues. If that&#8217;s the problem, performing a software update is the only way to fix this. While this may not be the issue with your Chromebook, updating your computer is generally not harmful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply check for updates through your Chromebook settings; the computer will notify you if there&#8217;s an update and tell you how to go about it. If your Chrome OS is the latest version, the problem is not software-related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Factory_Reset_Your_Chromebook\"><\/span><strong>5. Factory Reset Your Chromebook<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name implies, a factory reset restores your computer to its factory state. Performing a factory reset will clear all the file settings on your computer, making a backup necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A factory reset will fix most issues, including your Chromebook not turning on. If it doesn&#8217;t, you should start exploring other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Disconnect_External_Devices\"><\/span><strong>6. Disconnect External Devices<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have any USB devices connected to your computer? Removing these devices might be all you need to restore your computer. The reason is that external hardware may sometimes interfere with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/whatis\/definition\/Google-Chrome-OS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chrome OS<\/a> boot process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try switching on your computer after disconnecting all external devices to see if your computer works typically afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Use_A_Separate_User_Account_To_Sign_In\"><\/span><strong>7. Use A Separate User Account To Sign In<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your computer works up to the state where you can sign in to an account, consider signing in with a separate user account. In some cases, logging in as a guest or creating a new user account on your Chromebook should eliminate the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Powerwash_Your_Chromebook\"><\/span><strong>8. Powerwash Your Chromebook<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the severity of this process, a power wash should be used only as a last resort. Power washing your Chromebook will clear all data and files from your system and restore them to factory settings. It&#8217;s crucial to back up the files that you need before resetting your Chromebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To power wash a Chromebook, sign out by clicking the clock on the bottom-right corner of your screen. Hold Control + Alt + Shift + R and choose restart from the box that appears on the screen. Select powerwash, and your Chromebook will reset. You can now sign as a new owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Replace_The_Internal_Battery\"><\/span><strong>9. Replace The Internal Battery<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can replace the internal battery of your Chromebook if you\u2019re brave enough to do so. If the problem is battery-related, that should solve all of it. If you\u2019re not confident with replacing the battery, consider <strong>seeking a technician\u2019s help.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you should note that opening up your computer might void its warranty, so remove the battery at your own risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Contact_The_Manufacturer\"><\/span><strong>10. Contact The Manufacturer<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Chromebook is still under warranty, you can skip all the steps above and jump to this. However, for older computers, contacting your manufacturer or an authorized technician should only be a last resort after you\u2019ve tried all available options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manufacturers can usually fix a Chromebook easily since they&#8217;re the ones who manufactured it in the first place. If your computer is unfixable and still under warranty, you may be able to get a new one at no extra charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span><strong>FAQ<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1653720144722\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Wont_My_Chromebook_Turn_On_Or_Charge\"><\/span><strong>Why Won\u2019t My Chromebook Turn On Or Charge?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Your Chromebook may refuse to turn on because of charging issues.
