  • I show you how to fix most Chromebooks that have a black screen issue even-though you know its on from the little LED light. So your Chromebook is on but the screen or display does not come on (screen is in sleep mode and won’t wake up) its just black or blank. This should work on most Chromebooks.. Google, Samsung, Samsung Galaxy, HP, Acer, Lenova, Asus, etc. Hope this helps.

    Spouse's Chromebook did this and and we were both baffled, but could see that there was power to the book-I knew the illumination setting fix, but that didn't help. The force-power-down, then close and wait 3 seconds was a trick I didn't know, and it worked! Thanks so much... (Although my spouse is now out of bed and on the computer instead.)

    Hi! I hope you can help me with my chromebook. It's just months old, but unfortunately out warranty. Last month it suddenly turned off, it didn't turned on even if it's charged ( i know cus the led is green). So I took it to a tech then it was already fixed. But just days after again it suddenly turned off, no power. I charged it over 24 hours, I even used 220v power supply (cus Im here in Japan and the input is 110 only). I tried every hard reset and looked up in the internet, still it doesn't turn on. What should I do? The power button only lights on when i press it. Is there any other way without spending money on tech shops? 😭

    The thing that sucks about having to restart is I usually have important stuff open when I have to do it. Just today I had over 10 tabs open (all of them I needed open) but my screen blacked out and had to reboot the chromebook. The blacking out has been happening more and more frequently and it confuses me because it's a pretty new chromebook. Is this something that just happens to chromebooks?
