Chosen Solution

My chromebook won’t turn on With the charger connected, the charging led turns on, so I know it’s getting power. (and I have left it on charge overnight). When I press the power button, it won’t turn on. No screen, no screen back light, no fan. Nothing. I have tried holding down the power button for 30 secs. Nothing. I have tried escape + reload + power. Nothing. I have tried all of the above without power connected. Nothing Help!

There is a super secret button I found that fixes this. I don’t understand what this button is for but once you add some tape inside to permanently depress this tiny button, the computer will start up again. You have to unscrew the bottom and pop off the plastic housing. Next to the right hinge (looking at the board with hinges on top), you will see a tiny little black switch box with a minuscule spring switch. Press the switch and power returns. Wad up some tape and put it where that switch meets the plastic housing. Then replace the housing and screws. You should be golden for a few months until the tape wears down.

Hello Sunil Lalwani, Hereyou can find the troubleshooting guide. hope it will help you to fix it out.

I’m sorry that’s happening for you. The same issue suddenly happened with my c720p the other day. I’m going to see about replacing the mother board.

For future reference: Unfortunately, the motherboard aka “Main Board” is likely faulty, and must be replaced. Source: I have repaired 100s of these in the school district I work in.
